You did an epic hike of the Appalachian Trail. Give us the highlights.

Six months, 2156 miles, all uphill. My trail name was “Popsicle,” because I almost froze to death. The first of many times I almost died. Got lost in nighttime fog so thick I couldn’t see my feet; was followed by a bear in the Smokies (also at night); nearly lost an eye in the Hundred-Mile Wilderness; contracted Lyme disease. The biggest lesson I learned is that its hard to die, so take a few chances. Also, a person can live off Kraft Mac n’ Cheese indefinitely.
