Preparation

The length of this hike is unlike any I have done in the past. My longest section hike previously was about 2 weeks where I did just over a hundred miles on the Appalachian Trail, this is where I first got hooked! 🥾🚶‍♀️When getting ready I am preparing eight boxes that I will have my parents send me along the trail when I request them. Certain toiletries, foods, hydration packets, etc that I purchased and prepared ahead of time. While this is not necessary, it is sometimes nice to have it done ahead of time and may save a bit of money when I hit towns that have high prices in stores for resupply.

I know it is weird, but there are many things to think about before heading off on this journey. One being a portable bathroom! AKA, TP packets

I am going to continue taking fruit and veggie pills well on the trail, something I take currently in my day-to-day life, since it will be hard to come by fresh fruit and vegetables unless staying in a town.

This is what hikers refer to as “vitamin I” (ibuprofen) while on the trail, part of a daily regimen.

Food, food, and more food!
