This illustrated book is an account of my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and it was written to help answer questions for those who wish to take on an A.T. thru-hike. As I was preparing for my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, I was very fortunate to have a dad who had over thirty years of hiking experience and an uncle who also had thirty years of hiking experience. I had two great resources for hiking and backpacking within my family. Yet, I realized that not everybody has that at their disposal when they are preparing for their thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. I began searching for books specifically about how to prepare for an Appalachian Trail thru-hike. They all pretty much said the same thing, which wasn't much. They would say to sit down, plan out your entire hike beforehand, and then toss that plan out the window; because you never know what's going to happen on the Trail. All the books I found were more about the author's experience on the Trail than about the actual preparation for the hike. During my hike, I observed various ways that hikers had prepared, the different ways they chose to camp, and all the different ways hikers chose to go about their thru-hike. It fascinated me as I saw how everyone had their own way to hike the Trail. As thru-hikers often say: Hike your own hike. After about 1,000 miles into my thru-hike, I began to ponder a series of thoughts while sitting in camp around the fire. I would envision this inexperienced hiker walking up looking for a place to set up camp, probably on his first backpacking trip. If this supposed hiker sat down by the fire and asked me a question; for example about how to waterproof boots, the best way to purify drinking water, or the best way to set up camp in the rain...what would I tell this hiker? The more I thought about it, the more I began to think about the answers I had found from my own questions. Eventually that one thought of, "...what would I tell an inexperienced hiker?," led to this book. By the time I completed the Appalachian Trail, this book was already written inside my head. And now, I am proud to say this book is written down on paper. If you truly have questions about preparing for an extended hike like the Appalachian Trail, I hope you find the answers to your questions within this book.

The idea for this book came to me on my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 1994. Every state that I walked through presented me with a different story. Some were pleasant and easy, while others were pleasant, somehow, in spite of being extremely difficult. With each passing state boundary a different realization would occur. This thing, this trail, works its stuff on everyone who walks along it, like a character in life or story. We don´t affect it, it changes us. It´s a much larger whole than any of its components or any of us who walk it. So, each chapter represents a reality that is unique to the hike as told by Ivy Burbank Mann. From the time he starts to the end, six months later, he encounters strange characters, survives three seasons of rain, heat and humidity, and endures violent storms. The trail itself becomes a character in this novel set in the most spectacular scenery in the east.

Sauntering Thru follows the true story of the author, Raiden, a scientist who escaped to the mountains and found humility, simple living, and a lifelong partner (Chilly Bin) whom he met, against all odds, while hiking through the woods covered in dirt. Together, they traveled from Georgia to Maine on foot - a 2192 mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. That summer, they experienced the immersive natural beauty of one of North America's great long trails - alongside the mental lows of walking endless miles over ankle-breaking rocks; being swarmed by biting insects; and narrowly escaping numerous adventure-ending pitfalls such as dangerous hitchhikes, nearly shattering kneecaps, and barely avoiding hypothermia, twice. These low points anchored this grand adventure, drew the couple together, and proved that together they could overcome any obstacle. It was the perfect experience, and it changed everything. This story aims to share both the euphoria and the harrowing difficulties of walking the Appalachian Trail while providing insights on minimalism and the other lessons taught by a summer living the simple life. Join Chilly Bin and Raiden on their journey to Katahdin!

“With echoes of Flannery O’Connor, Faulkner, and Raymond Carver” (A.M. Homes), this singular psychological tale of murder unfolds against the backdrop of one of America’s most breathtaking landscapes. In the vast wilderness of the Appalachian Trail, three hikers are searching for answers. Taz Chavis, just released from prison, sees the thru-hike as his path to salvation and a way to distance himself from a toxic relationship. Simone Decker, a young scientist with a dark secret, is desperate to quell her demons. Richard Nelson, a Blackfoot Indian, seeks a final adventure before taking over the family business back home. As they battle hunger, thirst, and loneliness, and traverse the rugged terrain, their paths begin to intersect, and it soon becomes clear that surviving the elements may be the least of their concerns. Hikers are dying along the trail, their broken bodies splayed on the rocks below. Are these falls accidental, the result of carelessness, or is something more sinister at work?
