Yea, I've been reading through the articles on the front page as well as some other sites. As for as doing less than 2 weeks, I'm considering that and only doing a week (but I likely won't do less than that). As far as setting up a camp goes that shouldn't be to much of a problem once I get used to setting up whatever tent I end up getting a hold of.

Really though, I know I'll likely have more weight that the people on this site are used to being my first time out and what not, but I'll be able to handle it, even if I can't hike as long in a day it'll be ok.

Thanks for the replies so far though, will see what my options are for resupplying as well around MT charleston.

Peace.
