Last Thursday Sue and I went to a talk at the NPL of a person's experiences with hiking the AT. He's been hiking it in sections (I guess he didn't have the 6 months to do the whole thing at once.)
I found it interesting to actually see his lightweight gear. He built his own tent, sleeping bag (well comforter - 3 season...) and even back pack. He also made mention of the 'new' trend in tents - offset hammocks. Seems like a trip to EMS is in order soon.
He also had built one of the soda can alcohol stoves. Something I'd like to look into.
Well, just a brief update... Alex is over in Germany. The weather here is starting to get better so I think it is time to start researching some springtime activity.
