A fun video about hiking the Appalachian Trail is on YouTube. It is a summary of a presentation I gave at Boxboro, Massachusetts last summer. It covers hiking from Georgia to Maine and gives a great summary of the equipment, animal and people encounters and what it takes to carry an amateur radio station on such a trip.
The audience is engaged and enjoyed many humorous moments as I explored all of the mistakes and mishaps one encounters when walking 2, 176 miles (3000+ km) through the woods. A radio amateur, Burt Fisher, K1OIK, posted the video and reminded me last night that it was on YouTube. Somehow, over time, I had forgotten it was there…thanks Burt.
Enjoy!
