I worked for the same company for 18 years. I told them a year and a half in advance that i was planning on hiking the trail. When the time drew closer for me to leave, i checked on my LOA request...

I don't believe it is. I have a friend that stayed there this year while finishing up his final section of the trail. And i have read a few trail journals by other hikers who have also stayed there...

Same here. I finished last year with all the gear i set out with in March.

I used a pair of the Black Diamond Contour Shock Elliptic Poles on my thru hike last year. Had to replace the tips in Harpers Ferry. Other than that, they were outstanding.

I stayed at his place last year. Definitely a great place, and great guy as well. So what is new about the hostel? With the exception of the new bunks, his terms as far as staying are the same as...

I used a 10x10 tarp last year on my thru. I had no issues with bugs, and never got wet during a storm. I primarily just used my trekking poles to set it up. Once it was guyed out, it worked just as...

I didn't carry one on my thru last year. Just put a trash compactor bag inside my pack. That kept all my gear dry. Also put my sleeping bag inside one. It kept that dry inside my sleeping bag...

I used a tarp on my thru hike last year. I chose to use a dark green one. It blended in well with the surrounding area when i would stealth camp.

Crocs seem to be popular among thru hikers. Quite a few hikers on the AT last year that i met carried them. I personally didn't carry crocs or any other type of extra footwear on my thru hike.

I used a 10x10 Sil Nylon Tarp on my thru hike last year. I liked being able to have multiple pitching options for different campsites. I also used a 30ft adjustable ridgeline most of the time for...

I used a 10x10 Sil Nylon Tarp on my thru last year. Would never go back to a tent. It kept me fully protected, and gave me some great views. As well as multiple setup options. It was my first time...

I left my job after 18 years to thru hike last year. I gave them a year and a half's notice, and they denied it. I had saved the time to do it, but didn't expect anything less. After i healed up...

Yes. That was my total spent. I didn't use mail drops, or a bounce box. I used only 2 pairs of boots, and had transportation to/from Springer and Katahdin through friends at no cost. I bought all my...

I spent a total of $2500 on my thru hike last year. So it just depends whether or not you choose or plan to spend money while in town. I stayed in no hotels, and did not eat in any restaurants until...

And make sure to tell them that Jennifer Pharr Davis refers to herself as the self proclaimed New " Official World Record Holder" for supposedly completing the whole trail in 46 days, 11 hours, 20...

That mark on the pavement doesn't exist anymore since the trail has gotten longer. The 2000 mile mark now sits at 4.088 Ft. atop Bigelow MTN. - Avery Peak. :D

It has been 2 months since i finished my thru hike this year. I am still in the readjustment phase. I still have the appetite i had on the trail, and am still trying to adjust to sleeping indoors. As...

I used 2 pairs on my thru hike this year. Got 1100 miles out of the first pair. Went the rest of the way with the second. You will most likely get different answers on this. It comes down to what...

I never carry a lighter. Used a knife and magnesium stick on my thru this year. Using your knife correctly with the magnesium stick, you will never have to worry about a dull knife edge. Using a...

He released a statement saying that he wanted to spend more time with his family, and dedicate more time to his business.

I grew up hiking the Whites and thought the PA rocks would be nothing. But they were definitely the most miserable section of the trail. The VA rollercoaster i will agree is highly overrated, but the...

I hiked with them from CT, to Linclon, NH. I have tried to get in touch with them via the phone number they had while on the trail, but have not gotten any replies.

I found my 10x10 Catenary Cut Tarp to be just the right size on my thru hike this year. It kept both me and my gear completely dry in bad weather. And stayed taught in some heavy wind and rain. I am...
