There's no reward at the end for the most miserable thru-hiker.
After gear you can do a thru for $2,000.
No training is a substitute for just going and hiking the AT. You'll get in shape.
I got on in Bremerton, WA. Jan. 75 thru Panama to Charleston then to Holy Loch. Left Dec. 76. Throtleman Fwd Eng Rm.
Never got far from the ship took walks up into the hills around Sandbank and the Loch. Allways on Port & Starboard section duty and 12 hour work shifts when at Site 1
