Glad you're back in this thread. I'm going to have a bunch of questions for you about the AT. After reading and looking at all your pictures, I've started planning for a 2014 thru hike. I'm trying to round up a partner to hike Georgia with me at least.
I'd do 2013 but I want my son old enough that he's not the wrecking ball that he is now (2 1/2).
Is AWOL the best guide? Ever used Accuterra app for the iPhone?

Hey guys, I posted this in a new thread but it was suggested I post here. Sorry for my ignorance.
-----
I'm planning on thru hiking the AT starting in March. I did 5 days last March during Easter week (1st 52 miles of the trail starting at Springer Mtn in GA) but this year it's the whole 2185 miles.
I have a Gregory backpack (wish I had a lighter one... I may borrow one).
For a tent I'm using a lightweight mosquito net and an ultralight tarp with carbon fiber replacement poles for a Hubba Hubba 2 person tent. I don't have the tent, but if it's too rainy I may buy one one the trail.
For cooking I've got my super cat alcohol stove with a Heineken Beer can pot.
Sleeping bag is a 15 degree Marmot down bag (yeah I know, don't get it wet) with an Exped Synmat 7 air mattress.
Ground cover/footprint is a piece of Tyvek.
I plan to take 1 pair pants, 2 shirts (lightweight, uv resistant, wicking material), 2 pair wool socks, hat, and Vasque hiking boots (I have some lightweight hiking shoes but I need the ankle support).
Last year my pack fully loaded with a 7 day supply of food was 38 lbs. I hope to get that down to 33 lbs this year.
I'm planning out my food stores for general delivery at post offices along the route.
