I'm a 62-year-old section hiker seriously thinking about doing the whole NOBO enchilada. I plan to start from Amicalola this coming May 1 and end at Katahdin about October 15. Any advice for a (somewhat) older guy? I'm in great shape, despite my addiction to Miralax. Other than withdrawal from that, my biggest worry is wet, rainy weather. Any recommendations for rain gear? An easy-to-use cookstove? Healthy food alternatives to ramen noodles? Helpful hints for my wife to mail care packages? THANKS!
