Bill starts to ask around town about this trail. He hears from many people that whoever went into the trail, came back without a limb, or with a great story to tell. Bill goes to a sports shop where his son works for some stuff he need to make the hike. He was made to have good behavior by his son so he doesn't embarrass him at his new job. Bill starts to look at stuff that he thinks he needs. Another worker there comes up to him to give him a hand. Lucky for Bill, he was an expert hiker and has hiked the Appellation Trail a few times. He starts handing him things that are very small and don't seem like he needs it and it is a few hundred dollars. He is outraged at all of the stuff. He leaves because he has exhausted all of his money. On the way out, he saw a magazine that helped you know how to prevent bear attacks. He grabs it and leaves the store.
This is a good thing to do if you are anybody who is going on a hike. Know the outdoors and try to keep yourself safe.
