I'm about to begin my 2017 Appalachian Trail solo thru-hike. Topics I can guarantee: overly enthusiastic wildlife encounters, laundry anxiety, mishaps during friendship forging, and at least one instance of walking in the wrong direction. And hopefully somewhere along the 2,190.3 miles, some trail-borne wisdom. Throughout this adventure, I'll have some fun combining my education (merchandising & textiles) and passion (fashion & nature) to share wear-test information about how my clothing performs on the trail.
