Long distance hiking, to me, is not about the ground covered by my feet. It's about the ground covered in my mind... while on my feet. If you're not right with yourself at the beginning of a long...

I'll be starting my annual 30 day hike at Fontana Dam on June 1. For those starting mid May we should cross paths. I'll be the short guy with a black ball cap wearing a blue exos 48 pack. See ya...

I will begin my hike at least 50 miles prior to the Smokies and end at least 50 miles beyond the Smokies so I want to take advantage of the thru-hiker permit. However, I have a small problem. I...

I eventually just ended up turning my phone off until needed. The phone only takes a few seconds to boot up so I found no real need to have it on while putting one foot in front of the other for...

I did 3 weeks last summer and will do a month this coming summer. I hiked from the approach trail to Fontana Dam this year. What worked for me was a Samsung Galaxy S5. The reasons I'm all about...

You guys have been a ton of help so far. I appreciate it. The problem of course is my inexperience in all manners hiking. Gear is the big issue when you don't know anything at all. We have no...

After a little further reading and calculations, getting beyond the smokies may be pretty optimistic for 21 total days on the AT by a total noob. It seems a more realistic end point may be Fontana...

I appreciate the help so far. Thanks bigcranky for the spreadsheet. How this is going to work is myself, my wife, and kids will drive to Athens to drop my daughter off. They will then drive me the...

I'm 44 and in OK shape. I run, mountain bike, and hit the gym from time to time. Since my early twenties I've obsessed over thru-hiking the AT, but now I'm married and have an 11 and 9 year old so...
