howdy all.
i was wondering if someone could give me some tips on the Georgia Section of the AT. thinking about going in early to mid May.
i'm a fairly experienced camper, but have never hiked/camped over three days straight. i'd love to get some tips and advice from folks in an area in which i have little experience. one of the things i love most about camping is the little trade secrets that are exchanged. things so simple, but you never seem to think of.
one of my main concerns is water. i.e., how much to carry, where to get it, and any purification aides. also, i've heard people seem to overpack on food. what would be a good amount to carry?
please, take pitty on the noob.
thanks in advance.
