Yeah, cool, I've mostly stuck to solo backpacking and hiking in the past but I'd rather go with someone nowadays. (Tons of)Words of advice about and from eastern seaboard hikes, NY (where I reside now), PA down as far south as the Carolina's and Georgia. Hiked all over Europe as well, there are some great hikes to do if you're visiting, recently did the must see stuff in Norway (Troll's Tongue, Bergen - Voss, fjords upon fjords!).

Belmont Geoffrion posted:Does anybody have any advice for estimating how long a thru-hike will take? I'm planning on thru-hiking the Superior Hiking Trail once spring rolls around, but I'm not sure how I should be calculating the amount of time I should be taking to do it. Also, do you guys have any recommendations for good foods/drink additives to take with so that I'll be actually getting a balanced diet while I'm out on the trail? Depending on you and terrain it can look like this, 20-30 km or ~12-18 miles every 8 hours with a 45lb load. Cut that by half if going thru rough terrain, like snow or dense forest, climbing more than 1200-2000ft in elevation every 2 hours will have diminishing returns. You have to know how fast you walk with a load on, I've got years of practice in the Army so much so that I did a 80km trip and I knew exactly when I would finish, around 1pm on the 4th day, so you can get pretty accurate with it.
