Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
Don’t doubt yourself…just start. One step and one day at a time. In the end it will be worth it.

Your Best Equipment
My hiking pole tent. I was able to hang it up in the shelters as a glorified mossie net and also pitch it when needed. My Altra Olympus shoes. My Neve -5 c quilt that converts to a sleeping bag.

Your Worst Equipment
My Thermarest mat that sprung an undetectable leak.

Advice for Others
It is worth the hard days for sure!
