Hi everyone. I am considering doing the AT in 2019. I am a Kiwi, so I will be travelling to the States as well as doing the trail. I am planning on doing a few multi day hikes here in NZ before doing the AT, so I will have a lot of the main gear already (pack, tent etc), but I am wondering if it would be cheaper and easier to buy other things, such as cooking equipment, clothing etc in the States.
Has anyone travelled from overseas before doing the trail? Or has any suggestions about where to get good gear before the trail?
Oh, and any 'local' hints and tips would be greatly appreciated!
