The Appalachian Trail - Stone Wolf Origin Story

Mid-June, 2024 I started a hike that would change the trajectory of my life completely. This hike would begin in Maine at the peak of Katahdin in Baxter State Park and I was honestly a little unsure if I would make it out of the daunting 100-Mile-Wilderness which lay before me. Not only did I prepare for this moment but I had tested myself and more importantly tested the gear that I brought along. 

Confidence is a huge resource when you are attempting to complete a sizeable achievement like the Appalachian Trail. You see, many things can halt your hike like, injuries, budget issues, family emergencies, lack of motivation. What many don't know is that just like building up the strength to hike, the budget for food and gear, knowledge of how to hike it, BUT you still need to build up the confidence to show up in the first place. There will be many challenges on any adventure, which I can help prepare you for, but there is one thing I cannot give you. I cannot give you confidence, only you can get that for yourself. 

My goal is to show you that with the products I use you too can have a successful outdoor adventure. I will go more in depth in another post to explain each piece of gear that helped me along the Appalachian Trail.
