Are you an aspiring Appalachian Trail thru hiker that's gotten a bit overwhelmed 
                                                   preparing for the Adventure of a Lifetime?

                                                                                      Don't freak out !

                          2003 "AT" Thru-Hiker and trail icon Bob Gabrielsen (trail name: "Sir-Packs-Alot") - can help!
                                      ("Sir-Packs -Alot" has thru-hiked the trail as many as 4 times - when you add it all up!)

               Appalachian Wilderness Guides "Thru-Hiker Coaching" will help you :
                                                                                               
                                               1) plan logistics that really make sense (on the trail)
                                                                                                
                                               2) prioritize your physical training (for what you'll really need)
 
                                               3) lighten your load at mile 0  (instead of at mile 30 ...  
                                                                                                    when up to 25% of aspiring 
                                                                                                    thru-hikers give up & go home)

                                               4) educate you to your gear options (and make suggestions
                                                                                                               instead of trying to sell you 
                                                                                                               something you don't need -  
                                                                                                               like most outfitters do)

                                               5) arrange shuttles / transportation 

                                               6) offer you our optional "home-base" service for the 
                                                                                           entire length of your hike
