"I really loved it...Appalachian Trials is full of specific tactical tips for mental preparation, which is key well beyond the AT." - Tim Ferriss, author of New York Times Best Selling The 4-Hour Workweek and The 4-Hour Body Each year, it is estimated that more than 2,000 people set out to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail, yet seven in ten ultimately fall short of their goal. Given the countless number of how-to books and websites offering information about logistics, gear, and endurance training, one would think that more people would finish this 2,200 mile trek. Why then, do so many hikers quit prematurely? After successfully thru-hiking the AT in five months with zero prior backpacking experience, author, Zach Davis, is convinced he's discovered the answer. Aspiring thru-hikers, Davis tells readers, are preparing the wrong way- sweating on the StairMaster, meticulously plotting each re-supply box, or obsessing over the a synthetic or down sleeping bag or perfect pair of socks. While the AT undoubtedly presents extraordinary physical challenges, it is the psychological and emotional struggles that drive people off the trail. Conquering these mental obstacles is the key to success. This groundbreaking book focuses on the most important and overlooked piece of equipment of all- the gear between one's ears. Filled with first-hand, touching yet humorous vignettes and down-to-earth advice that both instructs and inspires, Appalachian Trials gives readers the mental road map they'll need to hike from Springer Mountain to Mt.Katahdin. In Appalachian Trials readers will learn: Goal setting techniques that will assure hikers reach Mt. Katahdin The common early stage pitfalls and how to avoid them How to beat "the Virginia Blues" The importance of and meaning behind "hiking your own hike" 5 strategies for unwavering mental endurance The most common mistake made in the final stretch of the trail Tips for enjoying rather than enduring each of the five million steps along the journey Strategies for avoiding post-trail depression and weight gain In addition, the Bonus Section of Appalachian Trials includes: A thorough chapter on gear written by thru-hiker of the AT and Pacific Crest Trail, and professional backpack gear reviewer Information about the trail's greatest and most unknown risk and how to guard against it 9 tips for saving money before and during your thru-hike A thorough FAQ section including information ranging from how to obtain sponsorship, to the best stove for the trail, to avoiding chafing, and much more

Hiking Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine 49 Day Challenge to Hike 12 Greatest Sections of A.T. It was 1994, on my 23rd birthday my father gave me an envelope, which I figured would be a gift certificate for something outdoor or even a golf club coupon. But to my surprise, it was an airline ticket to Atlanta! I was utterly confused, looking at my face he knew I was, but that confusion soon turned into a huge excitement when he said: "we are going to hike the Appalachian Trail in less than 50 days, get ready son." I was excited, I asked him, why he hasn't hiked this trail ever, he said he always had the dream of hiking it with me, in his word, "I saved the best for you." That was a trip I will never forget, I think to date that is one of most fun and the adventurous thing I have ever done. We were able to finish it in 49 days too, we both were very proud of each other. Soon after that trip, my dad was diagnosed with a severe case of arthritis, even though the doctors said it was not because of that trip but they think it was too many hiking trips through many rough and rugged terrain that contributed to his condition. He still hikes, but we only take him to mini half-day trails. When I originally had the idea to write a guide book on how to hike on the great Appalachian Trail, at first, I thought I should just write it like a journal of what we did, but then my father told me that might not help every reader. He suggested, I should write it like a guide book that can help anyone from a beginner to an advanced hiker, this way we cover a broad range of hikers. So this book is not about my hiking trips, but yours, my main focus in this book is to get you familiarized with the trail and get you prepared for it. This book is truly a guidebook which is divided into 2 parts where I start off with some basic facts and information about the great Appalachian Trail, then give my readers a clear overview of the trail in every region and state it crosses. Next, I talked about how to get started on hiking the Appalachian Trail, along with all different options like a day hike, multi-day hike and through hike. Next, I spoke about what to expect on the trail, what kind of help and supports are out there, what and how weather can affect your hiking, what wild animals you have to be aware of. Then I discuss how you can find sanitation, restroom, shower, etc. on the trail, how to deal with various illness while on the trail. Next up is how you should pack, what gears you need, how to plan a through-hike and how to actually get started on this amazing trip. In the second part of the book, I share how to hike each section day by day and what you can expect, what you need to be looking for, what you need to be aware of one each section of your hike. After hiking through this great Appalachian Trail twice, I can assure you it can be done, and no it is not a monumental task, but yes it will take effort and a strong willingness to go through with it. I know if I could do it anyone can. I know you can do it too. Good luck! Alan Greenfield

Thru Hiking the Appalachian Trail is an epic adventure, and yet one that is still within the reach of most people. It is a long journey, an escape, and a time of self-discovery. The author completed his own thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2015. 'Hellz Yeah It's Possible' ('Possible' is the author's trail Name) is designed as a two part guide and aid to prospective thru-hikers, although those readers who are just looking for an adventure tale should not be disappointed. The first section is an account of the author's journey, the second section is is a compilation of information useful to a prospective thru-hiker. It is entitled "If You Go". The journal is broken down day by day, tracking distances and landmarks along the way. It incorporates the physical, social, and mental aspects of the author's thru-hike. The physical aspect off the trail is real. It is an insane endurance event for a person's body. It can actually be started by someone with only moderate conditioning, because the Appalachian Trail itself is its own training ground. The hiker learns to listen to their body, learn how much they can do, what to eat, and how to take care of themselves. This is part of the journal; as the days pass the author learns what makes his body work, and what makes it falter. Aspects of diet and physical care are critical parts of his wellbeing as he copes with the environmental rigors of living outdoors on the move for an extended period of time. The Appalachian Trail is not just a path through the woods and an escape into nature. As with all human constructs, it is a social community, a gathering of people. That it is a moving stream of people makes it no less a social adventure. There is conflict and resolution, friendships are made and broken, and people become more of what they are under the physical and emotional stresses of the journey. Hiking the trail is an intense period in a person's life, and it fuels social impact and personal growth in a direct way at a greater rate than at other periods of a persons life. The narrative discusses the author's own personal interactions and his reactions to the trail community at large. The Appalachian trail is also a landmark, its history is woven into the land it travels through, and with each year's class of hikers the history grows just a little more. Significant trail events and location lore are woven onto the narrative. It is told from the hiker's perspective, from one with a historical bent who marvels at the point in time that is his journey. In "If You Go" The author creates lists of gear and food choices, and imparts his own lessons from hiking the trail that will be of interest to anyone considering a long distance hike. The author discusses his choices knowing that his way is just one way, and develops some ideas he didn't use but were used by other successful thru-hikers. Most of the knowledge here is already discussed in the journal narrative, but it is condensed so it is a useful reference for those planning their own adventures.The author encourages everyone to find their own space and way to adventure. We are not meant to live our entire lives working in cubicles and retiring to a couch in front of a television. There is a real world out there waiting for you to find it. Hellz Yeah Its Possible!
