Amazing pictures. You picked a great place to hike. Thanks for sharing!

best thread on UM ever. thanks for linking that one, lizard. i'll be doing this within the next four years when I go to Green Mountain College (departing: 10 days).

Heh, I feel quite honored with your comment. Anyway, keep in mind what you see in the pictures and actually living the life day in and day out is totally different. There is no way for me to express to anyone just what exactly it is like. You might want to hike overnight a couple sections before doing it, since you'll be in the area.

This kind of thing is also relatively cheap to do (if you already have gear that is). Buying food for a month (pop tarts, rice, crackers, salami, fruit bars, trail mix) was not more than $150. Anyone could totally do the whole trail in under $300. I probably spent close to $500 altogether though, including bus tickets and paying my friend to give us a ride to the trail. We gorged too much in town and bought too much beer and wine.

Yeah, it's a strenuous adventure for sure- I plan on doing a lot of prep for it will all of the adventure recreation programs that my school has. I love to hike now, but I've certainly never done anything of this stature.

[Mephistophiliac]

wow, that must have been one hell of a journey

i also admire you taste in food! i had one of those as my midnight snack last night.

 

[Reminiscence]

Rice for a month, and I still don't hate it. For the price, Lipton Sides are a hiker's godly dinner. After a full day's hiking I could eat two of those and still be hungry. One night I ate over 2000 calories for dinner and I was still hungry.

We should hike together sometime.

But actually, you don't need to prepare for a long hike all that much in the physical sense. During the first week, just take it slowly and your legs will soon become quite powerful. My hiking partner's preparation consisted of drinking lots of wine. My own preparation consisted of a couple 4 day trips in the two months before I left. Let the trail mold you.

 

[Ryan VH]

yeah well now im pissed off. im suppose to go on the camping trip with my school right? I CANT BRING ANY FUCKING MUSIC OR ELECTRONICS! WTF!

 

[Reminiscence]

That's just dumb. Headlamps are pretty much essential if you don't go to bed at 8 o' clock.

 

[Evil?]

Those are fanastic. I would love to do somehting like that!

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

pretty sick pictures

Absolutely! Perhaps if you feel like taking that trip again... (I don't expect it soon haha)

Sounds good to me. I think I'll need a separate backpack for drugs, though. Maybe a fanny pack will do.

I don't think all of us would survive it.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Dude, no. I'm way too fat for that.

We should sit around and sard for a month.

 

[Captain Beard]

I do that anyway.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

I mean as a group.

 

[Captain Beard]

This would be good yes. Maybe next summer Unless anyone has their winter clear.
