I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms here, but what is your opinion on the best trail guide to carry in my pack on my thru-hike this year? I'm also looking for a guide that lists any gear shops near the trail in case I need to replace worn out shoes or broken gear along the way. Does such a guide exist? I know there are a few guides out there, and I am interested to hear the good and the bad about each one. Thanks for your effort guys!
