So what is it?

So what is it?...

For those of you who have stumbled across this, or are just having a quick browse through curiosity; what is the Appalachian Trail? Well, it's a footpath. In North America. Going from Springer Mountain in Georgia, north to Mount Katahdin in Maine, covering a distance of somewhere between 2000 and 2180 miles depending on which source you read. The 30% of aspirational thru-hikers that complete it take 4-6 months, cross 14 states, take 5 million steps, and I've heard somewhere that they climb the equivalent of 16 Everest's. Ok, enough about the manliness of the feat at hand; its basically going to be a cracking walk through some beautiful environments and (I hope) one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences in my life.

For those of you who're interested I'm going to keep this page updated as I plan, prepare, and eventually hike the trail. Enjoy, and thanks for reading!

More reviews and stuff coming soon...



The stove and hammock in action! Looking forward to using them both properly next year!
The review for the Woodgas stove is on the 'kit talk' page. I'll get one of the hammock done as well, now that I've had the opportunity to use it a bit more.

I eventually hope to do a video going over all of my gear, once I've gathered everything together. This should hopefully be done by the end of this year. Stay tuned! (or the equivalent of)
