Half Gallon Challenge

[Youngmantime]

I'm starting my thru hike in Feb. there is no way that I am going to do this, seems too much like torture. But, I may be hungry enough to down it when I get there.

Dude do you even know why they are eating a half-gallon of ice cream. They are thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. its around 2100 miles long and the hikers burn an average of 5000-6000 calories a day hiking. When you're on the trail you will eat just about anything.

do your research dude, If you could make it to where they are you wouldn't have lived such a sheltered life.

@itsmeadin Obviously you dont understand the point of what they are doing.....

Ha, I know Pi & Laces. Those two hiked a lot more than I did. First they were a couple days ahead, then a couple weeks, then a couple months. Finally they were finished and I was still in VA.

Everyone should do that about 4 times a year.Instead of holding the urges in and making themselves crave.

Glad to see you guys made it half way! I (Ziploch) met you folks in Connecticut where the nutty drunk guy at Mount Algo scared us off in the wee hours. Happy to report that I made it to Mt. K. Woodstock (the other fellow there) flipped and I met him south of Monson. Hope those 3000 calories took you on to Springer! (my trail log: http://ofsevit.dynalias.com:80­81)

You guys look like you're having lots of fun. And Laces, don't kid yourself: you could eat a half-gallon of ice cream ANY day. Love, ACL
