Hello everyone, I'm Chris.
I am starting to plan my Thru-Hike of the Appalachian Trail. I am going to try to start in March of 2015 to make the six month journey up the AT.
For those who don't know, the AT is a 2100 mile trail that goes from Georgia to Maine. They say 1 in 4 hikers that attempt the thru hike actually succeed in making it from start to finish! I will be that 1.
I am starting to research gear. The first and most important to me right now is my hydration system. I've read some about filters being good but only if you get the right ones, And some about different purification chemicals.
So my question to you!!!
Do you backpack?
Are you a AT survivor?
Do you know anyone who has hiked the AT?
Looking forward to chatting with all of you!!
Thanks,
Chris
