Long Distance Hiking Made Simple
There are truly are way more reasons not to hike the Appalachian Trail, or any long trail, than there are to hike!
So, why do people end up hiking the Appalachian Trail?
In today's world, unfortunately, we spend most of our time sitting down.
Ok, now I know that is a generalization and that there are a select few of us who have managed to avoid this sedentary lifestyle, and I salute you!
But for those of us who have managed to get 'stuck' sitting for most of our day, this one's for you.
Our public lands and trails are open to quite a few different kinds of visitors. Ok ok, usually, some areas and trails are restricted as to who can use them.
But most of the time, like it or not, we have to share.
Some of the different types of visitors you may see out on the trail include mountain bikers, horse back riders, hikers, trail runners, and in some places, even ATVers.

If you're anything like me, you wait until the last minute to buy gifts aaaaand you also have no clue what to get for the people on your list!
As hikers near the end of the trail, or sometimes even after they’ve already finished – the realization sets in – what am I going to do now?!?
