I've done research and even searched but can't seem to find what I am looking for.
I want to know from past hikers who have sucessfully hiked from GA-ME, what bag, pack, boot, tent did they use, from start to finish without switching or buying another to replace.
I seem to find a lot of advice from people who only hiked for 1 month, or have done weekend trips here and there. Or who used two boots and one shoe, or two different bags for different weather along the way.
I looking for people who never switched what they had, and used it the whole entire time.
An example would be: I hiked the A.T. from ga-me in 2003 and used a kelty something bag, the whole way, and it worked fine for me.
or I wore a certain brand of boot, and it lasted the whole entire time.
Thanks.
