There are more reasons not to hike than to hike. It's a between-the-ears problem, not packing issue.

I dont understand how you can be planning a thru hike but literally never attempted to pack your backpack until the night before you leave? Smells fishy.
He said once before that he's a veteran and has ptsd I would assume that the ptsd is what ended the thru- hike not the pack issues. I hope that he gets help and is able to thru some day. God bless our service members . We own them more than we can repay!
LL, Thank you for your service. Enjoy your hike.
where you been hikin?
Trooolllll.....
Not in the traditional sense at least. Whatever his reasons for not going through with it this year, the OP was definitely planning to hike. Nice guy as well. Went out of his way to meet me one day to give me a replacement valve for my Big Agnes air mattress that he had a spare for.
Could be. Hadn't considered that possibility till you mentioned it.
Dude, stop being so hard on yourself.
