until you... hung one of your dry clothes stuff sacks, on the bear pole, thinking it was one of your food bags. All night long...
until you... see a bear wearing HikerMom's dry clothes.
and pink wool socks!

Awakened a stoner when stopping by a to check out a shelter in the middle of the day.

You haven't hiked the AT until ....
...until your clothes can stand in the corner at attention all by themselves.
.......until you get warned about a guy named "Machete Mitch", catch up to him at a shelter and find out he seems to be OK once you connect with shared military experiences.

Hahahahahahaha I almost never look in this forum, thanks for this.
There's no reward at the end for the most miserable thru-hiker.
After gear you can do a thru for $2,000.
No training is a substitute for just going and hiking the AT. You'll get in shape.
...until you go to the privy and the pile is up to seat level but you still us it.

until you sleep with your food, drink untreated water and walk without poles
