This was cute and all, but little details kept taking me out of the story. Thad’s pack weighs 40 pounds...he doesn’t have a sleeping pad, apparently, but he carried a fishing rod and only used it once? They wear jeans while backpacking? They don’t have headlamps, because Levi says they can’t hike at night, and he never mentions them using headlamps while they’re out of the tent at night. WHERE ARE THEIR TRAIL NAMES? I kept expecting them to get cute trail names but they never do! That would have been so cute! Do they buy instant meals in trail towns or did they mail themselves packages ahead of time? And Levi fell not once, not twice, but three times, and Thad saved him every time. That was a touch unrealistic.
