Thanks for the advice so far.

If I hike it while still on active duty and ANYTHING happens - in grown toenail, twisted ankle, anything at all and it will be covered. I doubt it will be an issue, but it makes the wife feel better.

As far as rushing it - 10 days is a huge amount of time to me. It's just how I hike.

And resupply? I've always had it on my bucket list as doing it under ten with no help or resupply.

I'm sure my practice hike will shed some light on if it's possible or not. If needed then I will adjust my plan, but I want to try to keep to my dream as much as possible..............................DUG
