Title: Fever inducer
Review: If you're looking for an AT narrative like Bryson's A Walk in the Woods, this book is not for you. Like other reviewers have noted it is written in much more of a daily journal style. That said, it is much more informative about the AT, stops along the way, gear that worked and gear that didn't. Schuette's mantra seems to be reduce pack weight whenever possible and his tips at doing that are excellent! Does a very good job at not romanticizing parts of the hike that were not pleasant. I got a great picture of him waking up and putting on wet clothes on several occasions and it read as miserable as it must have been. At the end of the book, my own fever to hike the AT is still running rampant and I feel much better prepared having read Mountain Slayer's account.
