“First time backpacker. I plan to do North Carolina in mid-October.”
Can you be more specific? Start? End? Dates?
The NC-TN border, where the AT is, is quite high. 5,000’ to 6,000’ PLUS. Vastly different than Miami or anywhere else in Florida.
Is your gear up to the task? First backpacking trip? Are you up to the task?
All the best to you! Have fun.

We live in NC at 3000' elevation. It has snowed here on several occasions around Labor Day. As others mentioned, be prepared for cold weather.
