Watch my most recent video about AT OVERCROWDING – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_4ZeVldVSo

There are nearly 260 shelters on the Appalachian Trail. A simple building that protects it’s inhabitants from the elements. In this video I give my reasons why I won’t be staying in shelters anymore. But as I mention I believe every situation should be considered based on the the condition of the shelter and tenting spots around. Make sure to watch to the end!
