Trail Travail
You are about to hike the Appalachian Trail, the longest trail in the world which is 2,200 miles long and takes over 200 days to walk from Maine to Georgia, but you forgot your backpack.
There are many dangers on the trail, wild animals, getting lost, falling ill, dangerous weather, raging rivers ... however you are in luck, and immediately you find 1 item on the trail.
Your problem is to say what find and what how it will help you on your hike?
