Update - we have a winner! Congratulations, Joe!! I'll be emailing you soon with the details :-) Thanks to everyone who entered - I appreciate each of you. Good luck to you all in your hiking adventures!
I'm pretty excited about this giveaway! And it comes at the perfect time for those planning a 2013 AT hike. By now everyone is reviewing their gear list and waiting (not so) patiently for their AT Guide to be shipped. It can feel all-consuming, in a good way.
So while you're scouring message boards and driving all of your friends crazy with constant talk of the AT, I'd like to suggest a book to feed your eager minds - Appalachian Trials, by Zach Davis. It focuses on the mental preparation needed for a thru-hike and how you can increase your chances of finishing all 2000+ miles.

In the interest of full disclosure, Zach is a good friend of ours. (And yes, he's just as funny in person as he is on his blog). But friendship aside, the book stands on its own. Every single review on Amazon is a 4 or 5 star rating. Basically, he's a good guy who deserves every bit of the success he's had. Which is why we want to spread the love and give one away today!
An extra bonus - Zach has been kind enough to sign a copy for us to giveaway. There are a couple of different ways you can earn entries into the contest so just follow the instructions below in the rafflecopter widget and you'll be one step closer to owning this bright yellow gem of a book.
And if you don't win, you can always grab a copy on amazon (print or kindle). It makes a great gift for any hiker and if nothing else, it will look cool on your bookshelf ;-)
Good luck!!!!

But after you submit your contest entry, be sure to use the links provided to follow us on those sites. If you claim an entry without completing the action (i.e. following us), that entry will be removed before we draw for a winner.
