Welcome To The "Jester" Section Hiker Playbook: 7 Logical Steps. Jester walks you through 7 steps that will help you mentally prepare and plan your section hiking journey on your favorite long distance trail. Just because Jester has spent 20 years section hiking along the Appalachian Trail doesn't mean you can't apply this same knowledge to any trail completion. Jester also reminds us that section hiking is all about learning, adapting, and achieving!
