Vanlife Adventures: A Daily Log of My Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike

Hiking My Own Hike tells the story of Jon “The Incident” Fuller’s epic Appalachian Trail thru hike. In 2023, Jon hiked 2,198.4 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. There are literally hundreds of Appalachian Trail thru hiking memoirs. I read more than a hundred of them myself in the two decades before my 2023 thru hike. Why should you pick this one?
Read this book if you want a realistic account of thru hiking that doesn’t gloss over thru hiking’s difficulties and hardships. My account will make you feel the highs and the lows of thru hiking, the triumphs and the despair, and all the pain and elation that comes with long distance hiking. It’s a light-hearted, self-deprecating perspective on Appalachian Trail thru hiking culture.
Read this book if you want a day-by-day account of a thru hike that includes more than the just the highlight reel of the most iconic trail locations. Reading this book will give you a better sense of the entire thru hiking experience than trail memoirs that skip over all the normal days that make up a real thru hike.
Read this book if you love the Vanlife or RV-ing as well as long-distance hiking and want to learn if you can combine them on the Appalachian Trail.
You should also read this book if you dream of thru hiking the Appalachian Trail, but…You know you could never leave your spouse, significant other, family, or dog behind for six months. You always wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail, but you don’t really want to backpack for that long. You don’t want sleep on the ground every night.You want a digital book that takes advantage of the digital world, with clickable links to maps, photographs, videos, and websites.
