Checklist before you leave for a Thru-hike
I always scribble one down in my notebook.
If you don’t know that feeling yet, you’ll soon come to be familiar with it. When you realise that in a couple of days you’ll take a flight to a different state, a different country, or, in my case, across the Ocean, for a “brisk” couple-of-months walk. Since you will carry literally everything you take with you, every single thing is important. Sure, you can buy a replacement of something you forgot when you land, but isn’t it so much less stressful to not have to worry about it? So you sit there thinking WHAT ELSE HAVE I NOT THOUGHT ABOUT?
Here’s my list. If you think I missed something important there, drop a comment!
