I'm back!!! ..Sorry I disappeared!!! So yes! I did make it out to the AT back in July!!! My sister had a training at Harpers Ferry, so My dad, 3 sisters and myself all drove out there!! We had about a week out there and I was thinking at first that we'd hike about half that time and then turn around and hike back, but!!! As it ended up, we wanted to see my sister who was taking the training almost everyday.. SO! We basically hiked for the day, camped and then hiked back to the car. Then the next…

Thanks! Yeah, I wondered if I needed the extra batteries since its only 5 days.. Plus we'll likely have more than one flashlight. What are soap leaves? My dads not on any medication, so that won't be a problem. But having some clotting product would be a nice precaution. I have a basic knowledge of wound care, but intend to educate myself further.

Our party has actually doubled, since 3 of my other sisters want to come too. So they've been researching too and we're planning to test as much as we can in the coming weeks!! Probably a 3 day test. Our hiking trip will only be about 5 days. Lol! Funny about the hiker "smell test". Now I want to fool everybody though.. Should I go for the stinky stench …

Call me crazy then. :blink: Er, us, cause it wasn't my idea to go in winter.. gif.010 We'll see!!!! We're going to prepare as much as we can, and I think if we end up postponing it 'til later in the spring that'll be fine!!! Or even bail out when we freeze our tushies off. I'll be going to Minnesota this summer, so I hope to hunt down general winter gear there(clothing, etc). I'm guessing they have an abundance.
