So I have been waiting for a call back from my big boss about my hike for 2017 for a few weeks now and just heard today! I will be starting August 5th and have until Sept 5th to finish. I am going to nobo and am crazy excited. It was hell trying to get it approved but success. I'll be picking everyone's brain here for the next year!!! I think a month should be good, I'm a newer hiker. Started hiking last year and finished all of NJ and NY on the AT in overnighters and long weekends. Any advice would be great! I'm planning on hammocking as Ive never spent a night in a shelter yet. I will post a gear list soon!!!!!!
