    .......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 the skunk eating your Oreos while sitting on your face refuses to leave until he's finished the whole bag.
