Gary Sizer is a former US Marine who hiked the AT in
2014. We never met on the trail, but we are now Facebook friends.
Gary wrote a book about his experiences and while that is going
really well, his current claim to fame is an amazing picture posted
on Reddit that shows the devastating effects that the AT can have
on a hiker's body. 
Gary is a good sport for
allowing this to be shown here, though, as it has been seen more
than 3,000,000 times, it might be regarded as a trifle late to keep
it under wraps!! There are a bunch of ways to contact Gary and
share his story. His books (Kindle, paperback and audiobook) can be
found on
Amazon. He's accessible on Twitter and Facebook,
as well as at his website, wheresthenextshelter If
