Description Hike Your Own Hike is about Francis Tapon's thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and what it the adventure can teach you about life. You'll start in Maine and walk to Georgia, picking up seven lessons along the way. Each lesson is neatly woven into the fabric of the story. This true story combines the desire to reorient one s life with an exciting tale of adventure and a bit of humor. It s about 75% self-help and 25% trail narrative. It is not a book about how to backpack, but rather how to live.

5. Eat Well, Walk Hard, and Sleep Soundly.
6. Perform Trail Magic.
7. The Hike is Too Important to Take Seriously.

Each chapter in the book is devoted to each concept. Chapter One starts in Maine where we learn the First Principle. Chapter Seven ends in Georgia where we learn the Seventh Principle.

The book addresses seven life principles with the First Principle introduced in the chapter about Maine and Principle Seven in the Georgia chapter.
