I like any other hiker tends to read/watch a ton of hiking stuff during the off season. I went to go watch the movie and it was pretty realistic. I cringed a ton when it comes to mistakes she made and laughed at "Monster" among other things. She definitely packed her insecurities and then some. Do people really bring saws sometimes on thru hikes?! Oh and they made these replica boots of the ones that caused her permanent foot damage.....only 300$! Lol Just felt like sharing!
