Hi, I'm a hiker from the U.K flying into D.C to section hike the A.T from Harpers Ferry up into N.Y state in mid march next year. I'm expecting it to take around a month (touch wood, I'm in training). I've got sorted and testing out most of my clothing/equipment but I need two bits of advice please.
1) Money. Cash or pre-paid bank card or a combination of both? Or something else I haven't thought of?
2) Tents. With my timings and position on the A.T I don't expect it to be overly busy. Thus, I'd rather not spend a tonne of money on a tent I'd barely use if I'll be spending most of my nights in a shelter. I will take a tent/tarp, but would rather spend more money on other bits so don't want to go for top of the range for little usage. Thoughts?
many thanks
paul
