What an incredible post! I hope your trek is everything you want it to be. You mentioned the practice of having care packages delivered to post offices at various points along the trail. Have you made any arrangements for that? (I apologize if you mentioned it and I missed it. I skimmed parts.)

so for me, it wasn't about hiking at all. It was about mobility, and "freedom from my stuff." The results have been incredible. There's but one thing that I am still working hard to resolve, however:
I'm dependent on my desktop computer for work. I require a hella-computer for working ,and they're just not small enough.
I'm thinking of making a porta-desktop that folds out of a suitcase, so I could have a ~15kg beast of a PC including the dual monitors I rely on for getting shit done right all ready to go and portable. It's basically the only thing that ties me to any particular place.
Anyhow, thinking actively about your possessions and eliminating the ones you don't absolutely need is genuinely transformative. Strongly recommended to anyone.
PPS: What the fuck? Just saw the updated article....

Even though the Hyperlite pack is awesome you may want to consider a pack liner, something cheap and light like a trash compactor bag works well. Just be sure to get the non scented ones. You might even be able to pick one up in a hiker box after you start the trail. I did on my thru hike in 2011. Good luck, and enjoy your hike. The AT is an awesome adventure.

I went on the AT about 2 years ago and it was a spiritual experience for me as I learned so much about life and myself. I wish you good vibes and enjoyment even through the struggles that you'll feel. Also, the tent is the way to go....obviously as you know the smaller and easier to set up the better.

Fantastic post! I look forward to hearing more from you @katecloud! When do you plan on hiking? I read in your introduction you are choosing to hike from Georgia. I have heard from fellow hikers the Northern most sections are the most technical. You have provided an excellent gear review. I am always so grateful towards folks that remark upon gear that is so heavily relied upon in the out of doors.
I don't know much about your inflatable pad but my Thermarest is going six years strong and makes rocky areas a dream to camp over. I have a MSR Dragontail tent but that is due to its necessity of the four season design on my mountaineering adventures. What Salomon's do you have?
Have you read Bryson's A Walk in the Woods? I haven't seen the film, but the book was light and gave a pleasant narrative. I hope to do the Continental Divide trail after I finished building my house and can gather enough funding to take the required vacation. You seem pretty great and I wish you the best.
Truly,
H

P.S. If you are looking to go on a relatively brief backpacking venture this winter, I will be doing the River to River Trail in Southern Illinois. It takes less than two weeks, maybe less than one depending on your speed. There are sandstone bluffs, lakes and the Mississippi River to feast your eyes on when you finish. A nice way to keep your legs and connection to Nature strong. I began hiking after I got into rock climbing. Here https://steemit.com/motivation/@hmfoucault/steemit-community-what-do-you-do-for-fun is a link to an entry about climbing and seeking to develop a community using discussions of hobbies and passions.

Honestly, that's what I call a cool story bro.

Make sure if you bring a good amount of food with you to watch out for bears. I recommend a bear hang and to set it up at least 100 feet away from where you are camping. I was hiking the AT in NYS and slept in a lean too. Woke up to a bear outside our shelter trying to get at our food. Learn from me!

I would suggest that you look into UV light water purification.
Especially Camelbak Unit.
http://www.camelbak.com/PURIFICATION
It's rechargable via usb, and takes 1 minute to purify your bottle.
Of course you'd have to go and try one in store before buying, because it's another battery and all so it can be too heavy for your needs, but since you are bringing a solar panel anyway, maybe check it out!

I saw you have a portable solar panel with your electronics kit. How do you find those things? I've thought of getting one, but never been too sure how much use they'd be. I know you can't run a phone directly off one, but can you get enough charge into a battery in an average day to be useful enough for the bulk and weight of it?
