Are you planning to do all of the AT ??!! I've never backpacked for more than six days out at a time so I have no experience with the logistics of such an undertaking but have always thought that someone needed a side angle to spend so much time on the trail. Doing something specific like salamander photography, writing your autobiography, or side training with a javelin would add something to the challenge. Ha! I just never took off that much to chew!
Haha, side training with a javelin is a thought! Nope, I'm a single guy with a little money saved up. Had a relative do the whole thing N to S a few years ago, so have gotten the logistics info and gear advice from him. Have several philosophy books in mind and a notepad and pencil for sketching.
Have had dreams about it each night since I made the decision a few weeks ago. Can't wait!
