So I've just read my 4th book on the Appalachian Trail and I'm more certain than ever that hiking 2145 miles would be awesome. Difficult, rewarding, painful, beautiful, why wouldn't someone wanna do it.
I've already written about the AT before, so I won't repeat all those stats, but I've also come across some new options.
I've also already decided that I'm gonna use a hammock instead of a tent.
The new option is to wear a kilt or not. There are many reasons to wear one, the biggest being comfort. Beyond all the teasing they get on the trail (in one poll, 1/2 the men and 1/5 of the woman thought it was dumb, notice 80% said they liked the kilt) every guy one source talked to raved about how comfortable it was and how they would never go back to shorts.
Right now I'm leaning towards the kilt, but I'm also curious as to how yall are gonna react to it considering finishing the AT is 90% mental and I'll be relying on yalls support.
