Nate Hankes returned home from his tour in Iraq unable to answer one simple question: Had his mission overseas been honorable? Determined to find clarity and forge a new identity outside of the US Army, Nate, alongside his brother, Ben, a recent college grad delaying his entry into the Great Recession job market, set out to hike the entire length of the 2,180-mile Appalachian Trail.

Decent story of a full SOBO through-hike
Revisado: 10-04-20
The "waking up" in this story is the author realizing that the foundational beliefs from his right-wing upbringing aren't the only point of view in the world. Although the author seems to have had his mind blown by this realization, to folks who are already hip to the realities of the US military industrial complex, this part of the story will likely feel like old news. The best parts of this book, for me anyway, were the frank and funny stories of life on the trail, and the stories from the author's time in the military. Certainly if you've hiked on the AT, you'll recognize many of the places they visit, and the personalities and characters they encounter are very relatable and humorous. Also, the fact that they were going southbound makes it unusual in the annals of AT stories, so if you're curious about the SOBO experience, check it out. Overall it was a fun listen, even if the main crux of the story was less revelatory to me than it seemed to be to the author.
