>>952987>As a experienced canoe camper, I am wondering some of the logistics of a hiking trip I am planning. Depends on a lot of factors. You physical shape, when you start, how much elevation change, how long you plan to walk each day, etc. I'm young and fit and average about 2 mph in Appalachian terrain. In the Rockies, I drop to just above 1 mph. Flat terrain I can fly.
>How many hours do you spend on the move?I try to break my backpacking trips into 15 mile sections, which is about 8 hours of hiking (with a lunch break).
>Is there a good resource for backpacking internationally? Especially a review of trails?I also do a lot of international backpacking, but haven't found any superb sites that have good info on everywhere, but I'll get an idea in my head and research the shit out of it before I go. For instance, I'm heading to Norway in May, but couldn't find any awesome trails just from Googling. So I started searching for iconic places and then strung together a few trails to get my 150 miles target.
>I am planning on hiking a section of the Tokaido (Or somewhere else in Japan) within the next year. Anyone got any suggestions?I've never been to Asia, so can't help you there
