Take A Thru-Hike: Dixie's How-To Guide for Hiking the Appalachian Trail

Planning a thru-hike can be a somewhat daunting and overwhelming task, especially for a beginning backpacker. While preparing for my journey on the Appalachian Trail (AT), I often felt lost in a sea of information, usually overturning more questions than answers. The purpose of this guide is to help cut through the confusion, condense the information and present it in a straightforward and simple way. I want to leave you feeling more confident about your upcoming escapade, rather than intimidated by the thought of planning it. My first overnight backpacking trip was thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, so I hope my perspective can be appreciated by novice and seasoned hikers alike.

Some of the topics included in this ebook are:
-Physical & Mental Prep
-Gear List
-Picking a Pack
-Backpacking Stoves
-Shelter Selection
-Hygiene on Trail
-Financial Breakdown (of my hike)
-Etiquette
-Safety & Wildlife
-Hiking With a Dog
...and more!
