8 tips for 2025 Appalachian Trail Wanderer (BPR #295)

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by the hike and LMNT brought to you, Chaunce and Badger receive tips for this year's class from Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers. We treat everything from social dynamics and budgeting to mental preparation, diet, why you should document your hike, some tips for submitting listeners and much more. We also give an overview of advice from previous episodes if you want to prepare even deeper for the Appalachian Trail. Regardless of whether you will be on the goal this year, plan a future hike or know someone who is, this episode is for you. Or for you.

We wrap the show with the latest mass decisions that National Park and Forest Service employees make, an update of our friends in the area of ​​Rebuild Hot Springs about how the funds collected by the roof sponsorship in the restoration efforts (plus paths that you can still get involved).
