Northbound on the Appalachian trail

On April 1st I will be flying to Atlanta Georgia with my friend Kyle. We are attempting a northbound thru hike starting in Georgia and heading to Maine.

We expect the trip to take about 5 months and plan to meet up with friends and family along the way.

With only a few days left before we leave, I have been running around trying to get everything done. I’ve finally pulled together all of my gear, and am starting to get a good idea of how much food to bring.

Here is a look at what I’m bringing with me:

Here is a picture of my pack weighing in at 26 pounds without water.

I’m going to try and update this blog with pictures, videos as often as I can so that friends and family can follow our journey.

Thank you to everyone that has been so supportive of our trip!
