About the Book

While preparing for a 2007 thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, Ken Sarzynski read half a dozen books on the subject, dozens of websites, blogs and journals. He had long-distance backpacked and bicycled many times and felt ready for the physical demands a 2,200 mile hike could extoll. Nothing could have prepared him for the social responsibility thrust upon him. Southbound on the Appalachian Trail is one man's attempt to answer all the questions posed to him before, during and after his thru-hike from Maine to Georgia. In a humorous way it, manages to not only assist potential thru-hikers in their planning but also their family members who don't quite understand why on earth someone would want to walk 2,200 miles. Future thru-hikers will learn the art of surviving on convenience store groceries, how to trick a bear into thinking you don't see it, and how to make water out of thin air. Whether you're out for the long haul or just a short hike, Southbound on the Appalachian Trail has tips, advice and stories for everyone.
About the Author: Building upon a youth spent camping with the Boy Scouts, Ken Sarzynski is an outdoors enthusiast with a penchant for solo bicycle touring, solo backpacking, team mountain biking, and participating in various endurance races. Ken is the co-founder and maintainer of CBoats.net, the world's largest online community for whitewater canoe enthusiasts. A born-and-raised upstate New Yorker, Ken graduated with baccalaureate degrees in Computer Science and Performing Arts from Colby College in Waterville, Maine. He now resides in the Washington, DC area with his wife and their super-adorable cat, Mao. Since hiking the AT, Ken has helped educate individuals on the Appalachian Trail with the help of a self-produced DVD movie about his hike. He enjoys helping friends, co-workers and strangers find places to go hiking or camping. He has a natural "I work here" look and regularly finds himself being solicited for advice by shoppers at local outfitters. Even knowing he wasn't an employee, he helped a Russian fellow purchase a backpack for a hiking trip in India, and a lady in need of a new bicycle helmet.
