>>2425779>Main advice is go somewhere else for advice. /out/ is full of people who do not go hiking, and this is one of the cases where the anonymous nature of this website works against you. People will pose as experienced hikers and then spout off the most retarded shit like saying to carry a fucking emergency blanket (but no tent or sleeping bag) and "carry as much water as you possibly can," apparently not understanding what a through hike even is. Very solid advice right here. /Out/ is fun for posting Chinese cartoons, calling people retarded faggot niggers, and general silliness, but not serious discussion or real advice. I’m not saying everyone here is a useless, inexperienced, retarded faggot nigger, but a lot of them are.
OP should check out some YouTube videos by people who’ve actually done some thruhikes and unironically r/Ultralight. There are probably Reddit subs for thruhiking but Uktralight is most likely busier.
