When I,m on my deck I can look right at the AT! It runs right past my house. I meet people all the time who come off the trail to stock up on supplies, and clean up at places in town. I would say travel light, and carry a Scrap Yard knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Good luck out there.
