Anyone here do it? Any surprises? Anyone just do long hiking in general? I'm an experienced hiker, and wife is retiring military this year, so I don't anticipate her having trouble, as she's fit, and acclimated to rucks. I'm interested in anyones experiences....

I just looked it up, you are talking about a 2000 mile hike that takes a few months?

Yea... the Appalachian Trail.

I'm ex-military (Europe), special forces and experienced hiker and can tell you that it's not a hike you should be preparing for, but an expedition. Use this word instead of hike when researching how to prepare and also when looking for equipment.

So will you be in complete wilderness for the whole time or will you pass by towns to restock?

It's a very well traveled, popular trail with many towns along the way. A few hundred ppl a year do a thru-hike.
