I agree with Janine's post. she says that Bryson didn't realize how much he enjoyed Katz companionship until he didn't have it anymore. this is true. Once Bryson is hiking the trail by himself he begins to miss Katz. Because he desires for companionship, Bryson manages to find a new walking partner. Bryson didn't realize how much he enjoyed Katz until Katz was gone.

I disagree with Phil's post. I don't think that it is really a change that Bryson has lost track of time. Who wouldn't? When one is walking the trail, time becomes a distant thing. Even Bryson admits to this. He said that you were on a cycle. Sleep, eat, hike, sleep. Bryson said that it never ended. that was just the way that it was. there was no need to keep track of times or dates because they weren't trying to hike the trail in a set time.
