Share your trail name and how you got it or why you picked it yourself.

I'll start as I have just, after years of backpacking, decided to give myself a trail name. I have only gone twice in the last almost 5 years. One trip ended early due to either altitude sickness or dehydration or combo. The other trip ended early because my hiking partner bailed. 2 days later I decided to end my trip because I was alone and my husband wasn't with me. I wanted to share every view with him, every good day and bad. So I went home. I was going to attempt a thru hike next summer of the AT and realized I still had the same problem. It wouldn't work without him and he is not able to hike with me. So now the plan is that he will be my "support team" for 2022 as he follows me up the trail and gets me every week (or as needed) for resupply etc.

So after thinking all that through I have realized that after nearly 30 years together I really am not whole without him so I decided I will hit the trail as "One Half" from here on out. And he is "The Other Half." He likes that name.

Please share your story.

HYOH,
One Half
