Five things I will differently next time on the North Country Trail

… “Five things I will differently next time on the North Country Trail”:

1. The first thing I will do differently next time on the North Country Trail is make the 9-hour drive the day before I start my hike, stay the night in a local hotel, and start my hike the following day.
2. Without question, the second thing I will do differently next time on the North Country Trail is pack a lighter pack!
3. The third thing I will do differently next time on the North Country Trail is pack more water, or perhaps pack two 1.5-L Smart Water bottles for a larger water carry, and ensure that I hydrate myself much more often.
4. The fourth thing I will do differently is to take extra time to capture more photographs, record more video, and of course continue writing while on the NCT.
5. Finally, the fifth and last thing I will absolutely do differently next time is: I will finish my 100-Mile hike on the North Country Trail and get that NCTA Patch!
