I had the audiobook, might not be the best format for this. A physical book where you can jump around sounds much better.
I don’t know much about hiking so I don’t know if this is good. But I still want to go hiking and it seems like an honest view on the ups and downs of being on the trail. Brings up pre hike diet and exercises and all sorts of part of the planning. Also brings up some post trail TLC.
I wonder what post trail depression will do with my current depression?
