BackpackingLight.com Comments

"A classy, theatre-worthy, professional film that engages, inspires, and teaches the viewer about the Appalachian Trail experience in the context of outstanding narrative and a beautiful soundtrack. It's missing some of the latest innovations in gear and technique that define ultralight backcountry travel today, but that certainly does not detract from the experience of viewing this film: by the time the credits roll, you're ready to gas up and drive to Georgia." - Ryan Jordan, BackpackingLight.com Publisher
