Is carrying a sword onto the AT a good idea?
I was thinking of maybe a three and a half foot long or four foot long light-weight sword. nothing fancy.
do you know of any reputable outfitters, GoLite or MSR ecetera , that i could get a good, reasonbly priced sword from? probably also one that is not too heavy either, i was thinking titanium or some kind of carbon-fiber alloy, but it would probably cost too much.
i guess i could use it for like killing bears and squirrels and stuff.
