Looking for thru-hike partner

imported
#1

I’m looking to start my thru-hike between July 20 and Aug 10. The primary consideration is finding hiking partners for almost all sections. If anyone is interested, email me and we can talk on the phone or something…

I’m 27, from (central) NJ, in decent shape and plan to train for this for the next 2 months. Never done a thru-hike before… only backpacking trips of up to 10 - 12 days. Hoping to average about 100 miles / week – in no hurry. Going for the scenery and the wilderness.

One of the first things you learn on a thru hike certainly on the PCT and AT, maybe to a lesser extent on the CT is that you will meet people along the trail to hike with. You’ll find people you get along with and people that move at a similar pace. There is less of a certainty in that trying to find a hiking partner online. Go ahead and hike your hike, you’ll probably find people to hike with without searching them out.
