AT Hostel & Outfitters https://appalachiantrailhostel.com.
(Lots of great info here, including past hiker surveys. They also offer a food drop for halfway through the 100 mile wilderness, which I did decide to use, considering how little fits in the BV475. Reserve at least a month or 2 in advance)

Cyr Bus Line https://johntcyrandsons.com/dailyser...
(This will take you to Millinocket where you'll be shuttled to the hostel. The bus stop is ~1 mile from the airport)

Baxter State Park Camping Reservations https://reservation.baxterstatepark.o...
(You must purchase a campsite reservation for the day you climb Mt Katahdin for the shuttle to get you in. Do this a couple months early, they fill up quick.)

ATC Thru Hike Registration https://appalachiantrail.org/explore/...
(Make sure to do this if you want to pick up your thru hike placard in Monson!)

I forgot to mention my sleep pad in the video, but I listed it here. I'm not listing food because that will constantly change and is personal choice. Lots of protein though.
