I am reading Bill Bryson's "A walk in the woods" and i want to hike the appalachian trail, probably next year (summer).
I was looking on websites and it said Maryland stretch is good for beginners and i was wondering if you had any advice on hiking, walking long distances or if youve done the AT?

Also can you suggest some good outdoor stores for people on a budget and also what kind of supplys would i need? And money?
ADVICE???
 
You should have a healthy bank account before you start. Walking from Georgia to Maine takes most hikers about 5 months. That's 5 months with no income and your rent, car payments and some other bills still have to be paid. Don't skimp on equipment, especially boots. It pays to buy quality. Some good places to buy your gear are campmor.com, L.L. Bean, Cabella's, and REI.
