I´m from Bonn/Germany and I´m starting my through hike on March 16th.
I´ve already get my visa, booked the flight, greyhound-bus and get a reservation at Hiker Hostel. So it becomes serious. :-)
Who else is going to start a long journey from Europe or other countries in the world just to walk the AT? :-)
There are just a few questions about equipment-prices in the USA:
What kind of equipment is cheaper in the USA than in Europe?(Food, cloth, knives...)
I thought about it, because if I´ll buy things in the USA, I can save weight for the flight an maybe save some money, too.
Shall I send food-package from Germany or it is easier to prepare those things in the USA? How do you manage it?
Thanks for your help.
Maik
