It&#x27;s quite possible to thru-hike the AT and sleep in a real bed in a town almost every single night. Most of the trail is shockingly close to towns, so resupplying is no problem.<p>When my brother thru-hiked it he said locals would often leave coolers full of iced beer out with a sign that said &quot;help yourself&quot;, so it&#x27;s not hard to get booze if you want it.
