Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
Such an amazing experience to have and so proud I did it! This was an epic walk and one that helped to see the kindness of others so true. Sometimes I doubt the kindness of people after such poor experiences in my life, but the people on and off the trail helped restore my faith. I was so humbled by the hospitality and kindness I experienced. It will be forever in my heart.

Your Best Equipment
Hard to decide - either my jacket that kept my warm or the tent.

Your Worst Equipment
Inflatable pillow - ceased working from day one.

Advice for Others
Train to prepare before commencing and plan a walk that is within your scope and agility. Walk your own walk in your own time and manner. Take your time and soak it in.
