If you have even remotely considered hiking the length of the nearly 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail, then you’ve “heard the challenge.” The question now is…will you answer it? Knowledge is power and information is currency; the goal of this book is to make you powerfully rich, in regards to the Appalachian Trail, as you read through its contents.

The subjects of this work include, but are far from limited to…

-Preparing your life for a thru-hike
-Financial preparation
-Mental preparation (what you bring within yourself is far more important than what you put in your pack).
-Physical preparation (I’ve been a strength and conditioning specialist for nearly a decade).
-Hiking with a dog (I’ve done the whole trail with one)
-Insights and information into nearly every aspect of thru-hiking, as well as life on trail and much, much more.
-Extensive information regarding gear and itemized lists of what this journey requires.
-Insights into each state, as well as noteworthy regions and the obstacles/highlights they present.
