Walking in the woods for 2,168 miles over up to seven months takes planning, a lot of planning—where to sleep, how to resupply food, where to get mail and when. This rip-out-the-pages workbook gives you not just advice from those who have done it but checklists, shelter lists, post office lists and easy ways to put it all together.

Finished!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Appalachian Trail Workbook for Planning Thru-Hikes (Paperback)
Chris Whalen's book, helped me prepare for the long walk through the mountains. I just hiked the AT, I used Chris' book to prepare. It was like a workbook, I was able to tear out and photocopy the pages for use in preparation of my trip. There are charts, diagrams and important info. I would've been in trouble a few times had I not gotten this book first. Thanks a lot Chris!

Cut 5 pounds from my pack and got me moving.,

This review is from: The Appalachian Trail Workbook for Planning Thru-Hikes (Paperback)
While the book is written for an elite group of hikers, it can be used by ANY hiker to prepare. I hiked the Long Trail in Vermont and Whalen's book told me not to pack things I was positive were absolutly necessary to my survival. Thank goodness I didn't pack it all or I'd still be on that trail. Chris makes it appear doable and organizes things well. Worth 4 times the price.
