I did a 10 month hike of the Eastern Continental Trail that runs from Quebec Canada to Key West, Florida. It took me 10 months and changed my life. I wasnt sure I could do it, so except for my brothers I didnt tell anyone. A couple of months into the hike, I realized I could do it and enjoyed it immensely.
- cryptozeus 8y agoThat is a long hike ! I always wanted to do this kind of solo hike but afraid of the unknown danger i.e animals, people etc.
- 100-xyz 8y agoDanger is usually in the head :-). This is one of the lessons I learned on the trail. If you've always wanted to do it, I would recommend doing longer and longer hikes and then just do the big one. In my case I started with 2-3 day hikes, expanded to 10 day hikes and then just did the 10 month. A 10 month hike is essentially a series of 10 day hikes, because even in a 10 month hike after 10 days of hiking one just takes it easy or rests.
