Safety
This hiking adventure has probably already been completed, however a tip for those considering a hike along the AT.
Carry a weapon or be prepared for trouble. Those who think it safe - forget it, especially women who think they can hike the trail safely alone. It would be good not to forget about bears, feral dogs and other dangerous animals (including man). There are many missing persons, murder, rape and other violence that happen on the trail.
I know locals in my area (North Georgia) that never hike without their handguns.
