Why would someone carry 65lbs of gear down the Appalachian trail?

As I prepared or my journey on the trail I was researching and researching.  I like most was looking up all the videos, tips, images and stories that I could to get a feel for what trail life is like.   I found that most of what I was seeing were people’s personal stories and how their journey had changed them.  This of course is very interesting although that was not what I wanted.  I soon realized that I just couldn’t find anything that focused mainly on the journey down the trail.  

   

 

This is when my project began.  Coming from and visual background in the photo and video production world I knew this was something I wanted to tackle.  I know how much people want to see the journey and I knew in order to make that happen I would have to carry a lot of gear.   So hear I am.  With a 65+ lb pack I’m about to head into the smokies.
