PCT and AT
If I every decided to hike either of these trails start to finish, I'd have to section hike them. I'm married with young kids and taking off 2/3rds of a year to go hiking isn't in the cards.

Problem with these is who can take 7-8 months out of life to hike 2100 miles
Yeah, I had a good friend, that went solo, go all the way from Georgia to the Pennsylvania line on the AT about 8 years ago. He said it's by far the hardest thing he's ever done. He started with his dog, but she was only able to make it about a month, partly because she'd stay up at night and more or less guard the tent, and just got exhausted after a while.
He said it took him a while to get used to being around people after he was done. We'd go out to bars and it took him a while to get back and adjusted to that. He was the skinny guy who would sit back and just kind of stare at people for the first few weeks.
