A post-hike chapter is included with reflection on the journey.The person adapts to trail life as the earlier obstacles are overcome.A colorful cast of characters with names like “ Snot Rocket ” or “ Ramen Wanderer ” are encountered.Blisters are had, rashes procured in strange places and the new life is experienced with a bit of difficulty. The person arrives at Springer Mountain or Campo, CA and starts hiking.Lots of strange, expensive and new equipment is bought.A person gets the bug to the hike a trail.For me, t he long trails are just a conduit to enjoy the wild places rather than the goal itself.įor various reasons, the modern culture of thru-hiking on the well-known trails does not call to me.Īnd, frankly, these books follow a typical arc that I’ve discussed before. : At this point in my life, accounts of thru-hiking on the well-known national scenic trails typically don’t interest me. I was reluctant to read the book, however. And the book has become a bit of cult following among people who enjoy the long trails. I was told over the past year, by more than a few people, that I must read Thru-hiking Will Break Your Heart by Carrot Quinn. Winter trip reports, gear overviews, tips, and techniques.
Road trip and car camping – gear and techniques.
