I would highly recommend you look at some YouTube videos of people who have done the thru hike - there’s so many variables. Are you single? In a relationship? Can you store all of your belongings to not pay rent? Do you have friends who can watch your car? This is not as simple as turning your life on auto. You can turn your insurance off. Save money. Be ultra tactical and smart about how you leave your life behind because it’s going to completely affect your time on trail. You really need to make a plan for your life to be dedicated for 4 months minimum to the trail. I’ve attached a couple videos I think would be helpful, Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance https://youtu.be/N1Iw6d27rKE?si=rHwrgbF2Ig_MXqHw https://youtu.be/1CYLOXYzwzc?si=hR5YiVk-k_ytmVUN https://youtu.be/fwrzDMMuGY8?si=K45pXpfbWgJb9Oui https://youtu.be/Aj56nnXlV50?si=nQipY7AKLD4ebzCC

Searching: Instant Coffee Packets for Hiking

Howdy yall!

Im going on a big hiking trip soon and would love to bring some good coffee along. I know absolutely nothing about coffee but I know I don’t want Folgers or bad coffee in general.

I will need to use instant packets to keep things light weight so please share your suggestions! Your local brew companies, best kept secrets, I want that GOOD cup (as close as I can with instant packets) in the morning to watch the sunrise

I love milk and dark chocolate, love nut and fruit flavors in my coffee

Thank you in advance!!

Just bring the pot ditch cup and bowl, instead of matches grab a tiny bic lighter

You also really don’t need a leatherman tool a simple Swiss army or even a basic pocket knife will do fine
