I'll graduate from grad school this year and beginning the initial stages of planning a NOBO thru hike next March ALONE!

Better a three person team. One to stay and aid a sick or hurt comrade, while the third person seeks help. This is from the view point of safety as learned as a Scout and in the military. Many people want to do the hike as a personal quest. Well, it is safer then walking alone in the bad part of town and, no land mines/IEDs yetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199970507158521020.post-30637440117278231552011-01-04T12:49:17.602-05:002011-01-04T12:49:17.602-05:00Hi Katherine - Thank you for debunking some of the...Hi Katherine - Thank you for debunking some of the myths women face on the AT.
