The Appalachian Trail Girl's Guide: Part Memoir, Part Manifesto

After graduating from college, Megan embarked on her thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. While she had a lively and beautiful six month journey, she noticed that there were not a lot of women on the trail. She wants to change that by inspiring other women to hit the A.T. and feel confident in their own backpacking abilities.

In this book, Megan uses her own trials and errors to guide readers through their gear selections, mental preparation, dealing with weary friends and family, avoiding potentially dangerous situations, and everything else you need to know to be a successful solo girl in the wilderness.

Some of the highlights of the book include:
-Budgeting for your hike and cutting costs on the trail.
-Selecting the best gear for your price range.
-Choosing practical clothing that you will actually want to wear.
-Getting a support system in place to improve your chances of success.
-Dealing with things like your period and peeing in the woods.
-Dealing with creepy or annoying men on the trail.
-Learning skills like hitch-hiking, building fires, getting the most out of your phone battery, and Yogi-ing.
-Megan's favorite spots to camp or visit in each state.
-An outline of the best section hikes in each state.
-Megan's personal account of her own thru-hike.
-Awesome photos from Megan's thru-hike.
