A family doing the AT

[water1974]

I think this falls firmly in the badass category: a family of four (the two kids are 7 and 9) have nearly completed a thru-hike of the AT. Their chronicle is at http://kallinfamily.com/. They aren't early retirees, but I'd say they share many of the attributes of Mustachianism: lead a good life, enjoy life, do things your way, and don't waste.

Anyway, their chronicle is pretty inspiring.

Wow, I really admire some of these family's I come across and read about.  Thanks for sharing. Vary inspirational.

This has been on my bucket list for a long time.

Thanks for posting this.

That is awesome! This is one of the first things I would like to do once FIRE'd, the only worry I had is what my family situation would be at that time. This gives me hope.

Man, I thought I was cool.  Until I read that.

Thanks for sharing this.  That is a really cool family.

Man, I thought I was cool.  Until I read that.

Yea, I though you were cool, too!

What a neat story.  Those kids have the BEST PARENTS EVER!  The remainder of their summers will suck compared to this one!

That family is living the dream!  So cool and I'm so jealous!

I emailed the link to my husband. All of our excuses are invalid.

Very badass. They seem like a fun and tight-knit family.

The mother seems like she's ER'd. I like her title "home subsistence farming". I need to come up with something descriptive and cool like that while ER'd to explain my daily activities.

I like how they let their kids explore nature and aren't all uptight about things like in our modern culture. They will grow up to be good people.
