Drawing from my extensive experience of hiking over 3,300 miles across the U.S., including a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, I offer a Thru-Hike Shakedown/Consultation service. This service provides personalized advice on gear selection, mileage/resupply planning, and essential hiking strategies. My insights are tailored to help beginner hikers prepare effectively for their upcoming thru-hike, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable journey.
