In a Nutshell
How to mentally prepare for an Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
Favorite Quote
What we call 'reality' is really just an interpretation of events based on prior life experiences. So if reality is a byproduct of our perceptions, it’s our job to rewire how we perceive tough times. We need to look at the glass as half full.

Introduction
Three in four people who set out to hike the full AT fall short of their goal. Not preparing correctly is why people throw in the towel.
Many people spend months, if not years, focusing primarily on the logistical, physical, or gear aspects of the journey. But rarely are these the reasons why someone quits on a thru-hike.
I am an author, hiker, and founder and Editor-in-Chief at The Trek, a media company dedicated to thru-hikers and long distance backpacking enthusiasts.
My book, Appalachian Trials: The Psychological and Emotional Guide to Successfully Thru-Hiking The Appalachian Trail, details some of the most effective ways in which you can prepare your mind for this undertaking.
