I live much closer to the PCT (San Diego area), so have been giving people info on the plants and stuff on the trail. I've pretty pared down all my AT vlog watching to yours now. - I wish you two a tick-free hike.

Good to keep up with the Permethrin ,,, Tics are definitely a problem but as you go north in the heat and foliage growth ,, also the Mosquito's and Black Flies can be horrendous.... be careful not to treat too heavy ,, especially your buffs or sleep gear or anything near your face ,, a hiker earlier on trail had a sever allergy issue with it ,, needed to go to the hospital .... Instructions say , 6 weeks or 6 washings .... Good job on the close out Little Bear ,, pic of Ellie is extra cute ..... Stay Safe and God Bless .....

They also did some “shakedown” hikes where they went for a few days of hiking and camping to test out all their equipment and switch out items that didn’t work for them. Hope this helps!

    I found out that there is no training flatlanders can do to hike the AT effortlessly. Just walk regularly. Get used to your pack…ride it on the hips obviously…then mentally prepare for the huffing and puffing of going up and down hills all day every day. It’s a great journey with adventures up trail every day.
