In reply to watercrosser99. Invest in quality dry bags and practice sealing them properly. Works wonders.

Nothing beats the feeling of reaching the end of a thru-hike. The trail teaches you a lot about yourself.

Interesting article. Always wondered about other routes people don’t talk much about.

In reply to TrailMixxer88. It varies but think 5-7 months if you're moving steady. Takes planning tho.

I appreciate the detail about fording water bodies. Shows you’re thinking of our safety, Jonathan Holmes.
