Has anyone really had difficulties keeping a real time journal? I am not sure I understand the danger. Are there AT hiker stalkers out there? With so many colleagues and family member wanting to...

We hope so as well. The Wanna Bs

I purchased the "all maps" supposed special at the AT Conservancy - very expensive "special." It is a whole box of maps, maybe they are all useful. Maybe not. I am trying to heed the advice to not...

Nalgenes are worth their weight on cold nights.

Captain Panda...Perhaps we will meet at the HF Kick-Off.

Rotorbent....When are you starting your hike? We are attending the "Flip-Flop Kick-Off" in HF April 16-17 and leaving on the 18 North.

We found a WFA course through the local BSA Council. Significant reduction in price, hopefully same information. The course description says scenarios and situations.

I found one NOR Wilderness First Aid course in our area that was not full...yet. But the cost is $225 per person. HIGH. And someone said on my trail blog that the AT was not a Wilderness. There...

I am trying to imagine packing 3 months of medications into the backpack. Perhaps this is where the bounce box comes in handy? Then I am still a little concerned about how I am to get the next...

This being my first hike on the Appalachian Trail, I don't think my question was answered with any sort of consideration of my newbie status. How can a hiker be sure just when he will arrive at...

Problem is how can you know for sure when you will be finishing and needing that reservation. So much can happen between Harper's Ferry and Katadin.

I spent this afternoon looking at the 2015 AT Companion and the 2015 AT guide looking at the Shenandoah's vs the first 400 miles after leaving Harper's Ferry and we have decided to go ahead and start...

The app was free. It is the maps that must be purchased.

How does one sign up for the flip flop, or do you just show up?

I dream of finding wicking underwear for my 2016 hike. I'd love a flap opening for easier pstyle use. I'd like them to be comfortable for the old woman I am. All I have seem at an outfitters were...

Looking online all I saw in this brand looked like a girdle. This is a real problem for me.

So can you get maps of the AT to work with it and will your phones GPS follow along and show you where you are on the trail. Yes. Looks like we can. Thank you do very much!

Is there an app and downloadable AT maps that can be used with GPS, much like we used Maprika on our 100 Mile Hike? I hope, I hope.

I was unable to find where to register. Anyone willing to guide me?

Thanks to all for the replies. I obviously don't get on here quickly enough. My fracture healed. I had to wear a boot for awhile. I do have to take extra calcium do to bone loss. I did probably...

Thank you for the complete response and the link to the AT Alternatives page. It is a great read. I am still a little concerned. It does sound like starting further South will be our...

My husband calls my pstyle "the equalizer."

What would be the problems starting a flip flop at Waynsboro instead of at Harper's Ferry? Possible advantages or disadvantages.
Thanks.
Would even further south be a good idea and still miss...
