    Nervous, Excited, Anxious, and 30 other things

    I leave in a little over 2 weeks for my AT Thru-Hike. Hammocking the whole way. Recently purchased my last pieces I need for the trail and I'm all set. (I think!) I leave June 25th, flying to Maine, and then I'm gonna mosey my way South. Any last minute advice, hints, tips, tricks, or advice you all would like to pass my way?

    Have a great hike, instead of a trail report you can write your book.

    I'll certainly let y'all know about a trail blog. I'll probably just write it all while I'm on the trail and update once I get back. I know for sure I'll make a YouTube video so that I can explain the entire trip and my thoughts on everything. Reasoning: I'm not telling this story 500 times. I recently took a trip to Paris and had to tell the same story over and over and over, which got so old. This time, when someone asks me how my hike was, I will just refer them to the video so that they can watch, and I don't have to deplete my lungs. ;D

    Wesley are you going to write in a journal that will be public in any capacity? Or even in a paper journal and then upload when you get back?

    Curious because I will be following in your footsteps next year and it would be cool to read about your journey.
