I have been reading about how only about 17%-20% of Thru-Hikers actually make it! Has anyone on here had an attempt at a Thru-hike not go so well? Would you be willing to share what you learned from it experience? What did you learn that you wish you knew before you made your first attempt? Are there any articles about this topic anyone can recommend? I am getting my life in order to make a first attempt in 2015 and any honesty would be much appreciated!
