    HERE'S a question for people: Why does it seem that a larger PERCENTAGE of people complete the trail now than previously? It used to be only 10% would finish, & now it's something like 25% finish. Why is that? They drew on past experiences of hikers and got better prepared? Exactly. There are now tons of books that basically take you step by step on how to prepare for the trail. They tell you where to have drop boxes, when to resupply, and when to switch out gear. Plus gear has become much more advanced and lighter weight. Some of those crazy ultralighters can have a base weight of 5-6lbs. That makes it much easier to get through the tough parts.

    I am only going to do it once. Might do the trail that Amazon recommended next. Or if you want to go real crazy, do the whole Great Western Loop. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

    I'm one of those people who wants to know how everything works. When I was going through AFF I wanted to know how everything worked. I downloaded all the container and canopy manuals I could find to get better insight on how everything worked. When I got my own gear and was learning how to pack I would again read every manual and watch every video I could find on the subject. I'd practice packing at home to make sure I could do it well enough. I also took apart the rig (except for the reserve) and looked over everything. I read manuals on how to pack a reserve even though I knew I wouldn't be doing that anytime soon. After all that I can say that I feel much more confident with my gear. By knowing how everything works together I also feel much better about emergency procedures and what to do in certain situations. Knowing why we do certain things is a great comfort to me.

    3 hours to get to my home dz and 2 hours to get to the closest one. Hopefully once I move it should only be 1.5 hours max. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793

    I've wanted to enter that "competition" for the past few years. Every year a few friends and I come up with a great idea but we never seem to be able to get together long enough to build anything. Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793
