Blog postHi everyone, Paddler '99 here.
I just wanted to say thank you for making Take a Hike: A Long Walk on the Appalachian Trail such a huge success.
I never thought that so many people would be interested in reading about my little thru-hike, and was even more surprsed at how many people downloaded the audio book. Thanks again Zach for the great narration. I could not be more pleased.
As promised, I've also donated several hundred eBooks to thru-hiker wannabes. If you -

Blog postFor those of you who follow my blog posts or have read my book, you will know I'm a huge fan of LL Bean. They have changed their return policy, which now puts them into the same category as virtually every other outfitter on the planet and it is no longer something that sets them an a class by themselves. I'm saddened by this change, and from what I've read about Leon Leonwood Bean's reason for this guarantee, he would be appalled at this change in his company's policies.

Blog postI get asked this question all the time... how do you pronounce the name of that famous hiking trail?
When I lived in Washington State growing up, it was always the Appa-LAY-chun trail.
When I hiked, I ran into people who pronounced it every which way...
Appa-LATCH-ian Appa-LAY-shun Appa-LAH-chun Appa-LATCH-uhn It's often said that the Mason-Dixon line separates the point at which people say the name correctly or not, but I hear disagreements from Tennesseans and North -

Blog postI created a system for food preparation while hiking over many years in the woods, carrying as many calories as I could manage on my back. The system starts with easily available grocery store food items, and is supplemented by dehydrated foods that I prepare myself. Preparation in the woods uses very little fuel, again to save weight, where I cook two meals a day on my alcohol stove simply by bringing water to a boil. I'll break it all down in this blog post, supplementing the in

Blog postI wanted a good pair of leather boots for my thru-hike. Living in Maine, I knew LL Bean products were of high quality and came with a lifetime warranty, so I visited the store and looked hard at reviews before picking the boots for my trip.
I've always been careful about boots and knew that I needed to break in my boots before hiking. When I finally selected the Cressida Hiker from LL Bean, the leather was soft and supple and break in was very easy. These also had a GoreTex line -

Blog postWhen I first started planning my hike I thought I might be able to get by with only a tarp, sleep in shelters, and not bring a tent. The more I read however, the more I realized that shelters would be full, the weather could be really bad, I might have to stop between shelters and sleep anywhere I could, and if it turned cold, I would be much warmer in my tent than in a breezy shelter.
As I researched tents, the one that kept getting my attention was a Nomad Long from Wanderlust. Wand -
Blog postWhat is a Possibles Bag, and why should I carry one?
One of the things that you will find you really need to do for your hike is to be organized. Even if you live your life off the trail as a disorganized hoarder, on the trail you will have no energy at the end of the day to dig through loose items in your pack bag to try to locate that hand sanitizer, or even worse that moleskin that you know must be in there somewhere.
A Possibles Bag is a small stuff sack to help you stay o
