Promoting the Long Distance Hiking ExperienceSAHC and The One Percent Club are dedicated in promoting the true long distance hiking experience.

YouTube and "Internet Hikers" have become the norm, and there are so many hikers feeds at road crossings, that one doesn't have to resupply until The real paying members of nearly all of the Trail Clubs and organizations along the Appalachian Trail, and all other thriving long trails in the Eastern United States.
