AT Documentary 2008/2009

I own Appalachian Impressions, and I have seen tidbits of Trek and Walking with Freedom. I really want to see 2000 miles to Maine. That sounds like an interesting film. I also live right down the street from David Miller, the guy who wrote Awol on the Appalachian Trail. Great book.

In your opening remarks I believe you addressed the issue of "motivation" for one's "thru hike" of the AT. You will find in all probability a large number of northbound hiker's in March through May all dreaming of a finish at Katahdin. No doubt some will be like me,....wanting for several year's to do the journey, and finally being able to do so thanks, in part, to "retirement" from the "full time work" responsibilities. I believe "Jumpstart" was one such hiker, as will I, beginning in early March, headed north.

Videographer,

Try to make it educational to someone thinking about getting the right gear for a hike of the trail.Get pictures of hikers setting up their tents/hammocks in the rain.

Maybe visit Walasi-Yi Center (WYC) and see what the WYC is recommending thruhikers change up in their pack. How about a little snipit on adjusting your pack. it's amazing how many hikers need their pack adjusted.

I would image that the first couple days on the trail would be some pretty funny stuff. First time some are using the restroom outdoors, first time some are using their stoves, first time some are setting up their tents/hammocks, and lots of other firsts.

Hope that's helpful.

You should definitely plan to spend a couple of days on trail in Georgia, before Neels Gap, during thru hiker season, I imagine you would see some interesting things.
