Walking in the woods for 2,168 miles over the course of seven months takes planning, a lot of planning--where to sleep, how to resupply food and cash, where to get mail and when, how to gauge the weather. This rip-out-the-pages workbook gives you not just advice from those who have done it but also checklists, shelter lists, post office lists, and easy ways to put it all together. The only book of its kind in print, updated with 2001 mileages.

About the Author

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.
