I was planning to do a BMT/AT loop hike this spring but canceled because of the pandemic. I am thinking about trying this fall if things improve. One thing that is holding me back is a contingency plan if I would contract COVID-19. I am wondering for those currently on the trail or those planning an upcoming hike for an extended period of time if you have developed any kind of COVID plan? What would you do if you exhibited symptoms? Would you get tested, and if so, how? How do you get to a testing site 20 miles away without ride sharing or public transportation? If you are sick and the symptoms are mild do you self isolate? What do you do for food for 10 days? Do you go home? If so, how do you get there? If you become infected do you notify others you may have come in contact with? How? I know some will say the trail is safe but that is probably what the people who attended the Michigan lake party thought. The first principle of Leave No Trace is to plan ahead and prepare.
