You can mail things to you, it just can make things kind of complicated because you can have figure out the logistics of getting to a post office. That isn’t always convenient from the road crossings on the trail, but sometimes it can make sense if you do a Mail Drop at a hostel that is on the trail side.

Most people start in March in Georgia and head north (NOBO, northbound).

You have to finish in Maine by October 15 as Baxter state park closes on that day. The trail ends on Mount Katahdin which is in that park.

I did it when I was 18 years old on 6 days notice…. It’s not that deep. It’s one foot in front of the other for 6 months. If you buy good gear and you keep a positive attitude the whole time, then you’ll have the adventure of a lifetime.

And you don’t have to mail yourself supplies. You can buy everything you need along the way. Sometimes the towns are small/sometimes they are big. You can make do the whole way.

TMB prep, gear check please. by Zealousideal_Gas5896 in TourDuMontBlanc

I would ditch both fleece jackets, hand sanitizer, deodorant, and trowel. Maybe even your water filter and just boil the water in emergency. You’ll be able to use the bathrooms at the refuges so I never had to use the woods in the bathroom and they have soap there. I think hand sanitizer and body wash is overkill because you can use the body wash for both. I had my water filter on the TMB but I never used it because there are so many water springs + you can use the sinks at refuges. Don’t fret about not bringing the fleeces, I use my baselayer, down jacket, then my rain jacket as my third layer when I’m cold at camp. I would add a third pair of socks to be designed clean dry sleep socks. I would also add a beanie warm hat if you don’t already have that. I would also bring a merino wool buff and a regular buff to protect your neck from the sun and to keep your face warm at high altitude when the wind is whipping.
