Nice documentary film, Adam.
Great challenge for any young person, and great family support during the journey.
Also, a great video about kindness from strangers.

Generally, the trail is not considered that safe. Various threats exist, from animals to nuts.

Well done.

One suggestion...Please reconsider your pronunciation of
“Appalachian”.
Everyone I know who lives along/ loves the trail pronounces it the other way.
No long “A”.

I section hiked the AT back in the 90’s. It was a soul awakening experience.

To a lot of us, it's a "Walk and Conversation with God".

Hey, if it’s good enough for the Swiss Army, it’s good enough for the trail.

It's best used with a trangia alcohol stove.

East Tenn has always said it the other way.
