As my April 3rd leave date approaches I figured now would be a good time to ask myself all the questions that people ask themselves before embarking on this trek.
Why are you hiking the Appalachian trail?
To prove to myself I can do something monumental. I need a break from normality and want an adventure.
What are you feeling right now?
More than anything I'm nervous. Nervous I won't have enough money saved up, nervous I won't have what it takes.
How much hiking have you done?
Virtually none. I went on a two day hike in mid Florida as a shakedown hike but other than that, no experience.
Will you have a gun/weapon?
No. Other than a small pocket knife to open tuna packets.
Tuesday I Should have a post about my gear, as well as a video. www.youtube.com/renfailed will be where I post videos during the hike. My shakedown hike is already posted.
