I once spent a couple weeks doing the Vermont section w/sister.
She hiked the whole thing in two campaigns.
I definitely do mean campaign.
Up and down, struggling to make even 10 miles a day to next campsite by dusk when it turns really cold.
G'Dang trees. G'Dang nature.
Some young psychos have done the whole thing in a single bout, walking at a crazy marathon pace. There are film documentaries on that.
Not I.
Sending MREs ahead to a pick-up point was a lifesaver.
Maps, coms, granola, water, good boots, and wool under nylon...always
