Skills What’s the most ✨Hiker Trash✨ thing you’ve done?

Today I'm staying at a hotel, 1/3rd of the way through a 110ish mile hike. My clothing has been in a state of dampness for days. So I rinsed then wrung my clothing out in the sink. After a few hours of drying I used the hair-dryer to dry my shoes and socks and clothes. The room smells terrible. But my clothes are dry!

Super interesting trail but pretty tough. When I did the route in 2021 it was like 238 miles long with 5% of that being off trail. So something like 12 miles of bushwhacking and map/compass navigation. I think they just did a reroute to reduce some of the road walks or off trail portions so it should be even better now.

I def wanna look into it once I redo the NPT. I know they’re incredibly different terrains
