Appalachain Trail

“I am trying to organize a trip for myself maybe within the next three years, I have no one to go with, no knowledge of gear and equipment and I want to do the whole thing.

Any suggestions on how to get started, I really want to do this, the whole thing. Preferable not alone.

Need help!”

“go to whiteblaze.net and read the articles there then start doing short backpacking trips to figure out your gear”

“buy Bill Bryce's "A Walk In The Woods".”

“and use it for toilet paper”

“but read it first. Life is too short to get all that serious.”

“the wisdom of the older guys.....hehe.”

“what the hell is this Appalachian Trail?”
