This is the best book I read on how to be a successful long distant hiker. I found the format refreshing. Less on the Appalachian experience and more on how to have a great experience on a long distant hike.The chapters on hydration, gear, clothing and food were particularly well researched and well written. I believe one of the most important items you covered is mental preparedness and a deep internal desire and passion to make such an arduous multi month journey a thru- hike entails.I have a few comments on items I found very important in long distant hiking. These were lessons l learned during several long distant section hikes on the PCT. I'm currently preparing for a Calendar Triple Crown in 2020. I'll be hiking nearly 8,000 miles in 10 months, or 3.6 times the distance of the Appalachian Trail.Lessons from a long distant hiker:1. Mental preparedness is absolutely the number one item any long distant hiker needs to work on. You must be mentally prepared before venturing into the wilderness for several months.2. Train with and wear calf high compression socks on all long distant hikes. I have used these for years and have never had any foot or leg swelling and these also prevented me from having any hotspots or blisters on my feet. I'm averaging 30 miles per day, starting on day one with No Pain! Look into socks made by CEP.3. Hydration is often the most over looked and misunderstood fundamental of long distant hiking. I start off the morning at 6:00 AM drinking 32 oz. of water mixed with concentrated electrolyte solution (look into a product called LyteShow). I hike for two hours while drinking 32 oz. of electrolyte water, I then stop, find and purify two quarts of water. I add electrolyte solution and drink a quart of water and resume hiking while drinking the other quart of electrolyte water. At the end of my 12 hour hiking day I have consumed 12 quarts of electrolyte water. Dehydration reduces your energy and mental alertness by 30%. Most hikers have no idea how much water to drink or the importance that all their water needs to contain electrolytes.4. Your chapter on food was excellent. I find that 99% of the long distant hikers I meet on the trails never carry sufficient calories for the hike their doing. For my long distant hikes I carry 28.5 oz. of food per day, this gives me 4,070 calories, or 143 calories per oz. I have done 4 week section hikes averaging 180 miles per week and have lost only 1 lb.5. The chapter on gear was well thought out. When I reviewed the pages of the equipment you took on your hike I didn't see a base wt. for your backpack and equipment. The base wt. for my backpack with the equipment that can handle 110 degree weather down to zero degrees comfortably is only 12 lbs. I carry 4 days of food at a time with a wt. of 8 lbs. (I'll be averaging 150 miles for each 5 day supply of food. When water supplies are good, I carry just one quart of water at a time. At the start of the PCT at the Mexican boarder, that increases to over a gallon of water and the food supply goes down to 3 days. The max wt, of my 45 liter Rarely exceeds 22 lbs. Only snowshoes and extra water would bring my total backpack wt. to exceed 22 lbs. Lighter is always better!.6. One of the main reasons I can keep the base wt. of my backpack to 14 lbs and still comfortably handle zero degree weather with 50 mph winds is my ultra light weight Vapor Barrier Clothing. All the VB clothing I need to be comfortable at zero degrees weighs only 26 oz. This includes a VB cap, face guard, gloves, socks, jacket and pants. I used my VB clothing inside my 15 degree top quilt at minus 5 degrees and was very comfortable. Look into VB clothing made by RBH Designs.Long distant hikers will certainly learn and benefit from your book and the lessons you gained during your Appalachian thru-hike. As a long distant hiker I appreciate the effort and research you put into your book. I hope to meet you on the trail.Max Walker
So I originally learned of this through the author's newsletter and downloaded it upon release.. As a Scoutmaster, I have to say that the start of the book hooked me because this kind of thing is EXACTLY why we all do what we do. Having at least 1 of our youth fall in love with the outdoors makes it all worth it,I started reading slowly as I knew, I just knew, that I would get the bug and want to do a thru-hike of my own. I have a Philmont trek (my second as an adult) scheduled later this year and I will be re-reading this a couple times before I head out as I have a couple of gear changes I'll be making to my personal equipment based on Chris' experiences in the book. I've used SmartWater bottles on my desk at work for years, but never had I thought to replace my heavy Nalgene's with them while backpacking. I'll probably still keep one Nalgene in my pack as I backback too many places with dry camps and would feel more secure knowing that I at least have 1 liter of water that cannot accidentally get punctured coming in and out of the pack or more likely by a wild animal when it's not strung up in the bear bag.The flow and writing style are perfect for this kind of book. You really feel like you know Chris and were on his adventure with him while he tells you what he learned out there.The State-by-State breakdown of the hike was pretty amazing. The resource lists, even better. Including a sample letter for how to ask for sponsorship to help offset the cost of hiking, especially considering I'm sure Chris and his company will be getting plenty of sponsorship requests from all the readers (he might eventually regret putting that part in the book), was very thoughtful.The systematic and step-by-step approach of the book takes a Herculean tasks and brings it down to more of a mortal and achievable goal. I will be hiking the AT. It may start as just section hikes until I can somehow find the time to do my own thru-hike (most likely when I snap and tell a boss to shove it or I retire).While I didn't come away from this book with a ton of new information on hiking in general, what I am taking from the book will help every time I go out. Amazingly enough, it wasn't even a week after reading Chris' account of his bear encounter that I treed my own bear. The description of what happens when that bear comes down out of the tree was exactly what I experienced and it was one of the most amazing things I've had happen on a solo hike (thankfully my encounter was only 1 bear).Best piece of advice Chris gives in this is to truly embrace the life of living on the trail. Get dirty, get rained on, get stinky, and make friends but revel in ALL of it as if you don't it will become a chore and you'll start feeling miserable and drop out (major paraphrasing going on there).Hike On!
A fun read, more geared to less experienced backpackers. The author has a nice easy style, and makes the book very readable,This is not a book for planning a thru hike, it does not cover mail drops, weekly planning, etc. It does give general information and indicates other resources to locate such information.But for someone who is contemplating a sizable thru-hike with no real experience of them, this is an enjoyable primer on the subject, and may help some people decide if they wish to pursue the idea or forget it. It also provides a lot of useful beginner options for putting the beginnings of a plan together, and figuring what equipment they need.
I won't ever be walking this track (I'm in New Zealand, and a senior citizen) but I am fascinated reading about it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It wasn't full of lists upon lists, like I figured it might be. There were anecdotes and interesting tidbits and trivia, mixed in with, yes, some lists! If I were a hiker I would say this book would tell me some valuable information I might not have thought about when planning my Appalachian trek.
As a seasoned long distance hiker I was skeptical that any book would cover everything someone would need to know to do the AT or any other long distance hike. I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. Chris seems to have covered everything and so many times I found myself saying 'Yes I agree'. Somethings he suggests things I do, other things I have tried and changed, and still others I don't necessarily agree with from my experience, and yet all his ideas are sound.This is a wonderful book to get anyone enthusiastic and prepared for Long distance hiking anywhere, not just on the AT.Get out there and follow his advice you won't go wrong.
