    IMO there are two types of people who finish a thru-hike:

    Those that love the trail and there's no place else they'd rather be
    And people too stubborn to quit.

    Well I'm both of those!!! I can't even tell which one more I guess that answers my "will I make it" question. To be completely honest though I never had any doubts of finishing.

    Yes, I hate to break it to you but you are crazy. Only 1 out of 60 people survive the Appalachian trail. Think about your family and give up this foolishness.

    All the stir crazy thoughts and pre hike jitters will vanish and be replaced with new and stronger emotions as soon as you step foot on springer.

    It will be at that point you and you only will know if you made the right decision.

    Don't psych yourself out yet, all the worries you have are gone 5 minutes into hiking
