As a locomotive engineer I must say that every time I see one of you guys I'm insanely jealous.

Thanks for doing this AMA! I've lived near the trail all my life and I've always wanted to hike the whole thing but haven't had a chance yet... What did you carry with you? And what did you have to replace along the way?

I'm a former US Marine, I was there in the initial invasion in 2003, and again in late 2005/early 2006. The first time I went over there I had a thought in the back of my mind that we were in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing. The second time I went over there didn't ease my mind, and pretty much none of the news out of there since then has convinced me we did the right thing. So my question is, is your life better after Sadam? What about your family and friends lives?

Is Iceland as awesome as it seems? Because it seems pretty awesome.

Thanks, I'll check that out! I live in south western New Hampshire, right near the Vermont Border.
