The Proving Grounds: True Cost of Hiking the Appalachian Trail / Carol Wellman


Hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2016 has changed. Come along with Brawny as she details these vast changes in her second successful thru hike. Still a bonafide ultralight, minimalist, she details how she lived on $100 a week while enjoying America's favorite long distance hiking trail. Filled with hilarious stories, insight and drama, this is Wellman's best work to date.
Included you'll find a Glossary to help the uninitiated understand hiker jargon. Plus, find complete instructions on how to make her signature, prototype, ultralight Tent. There are food lists, cold food combinations for going stove-less and the tried and true method on how to resupply. Learn what a PCT resupply is, how to navigate difficult routes and what to look for if you suspect you've caught Lyme Desease. Billed as the Best Appalachain Trail book ever to hit the market. A must read for anyone planning to hike any long distance hike.
Her chapter on gear will bring you up to date on innovations found in the last fourteen years. She also shares her Ridgerunner perspective-acquired in Maine's Hundred Mile Wilderness- and fully detailed in Of Moose and Men-Ridgerunning in Maine's Hundred Mile Wilderness.

Author, gear innovator and adventurer, Wellman's first book 'My Journey to Freedom and Ultralight Backpacking", is a favorite among ultralighters.
