Thanks for the reply, and damn, that's what I was afraid of - - and why I thought to ask!

I might take it relatively easy and go with the Shenandoah for that time of year.

I've got a week and a half at the end of April, and I thought a couple of challenging loops in the Whites, like the Pemi Loop, would be a good adventure. I've read a few articles like this one,...

Any thoughts on Fontana Dam to Davenport Gap? Water availability? Shuttle recommendations?

Thanks. Yeah, I figured the more southern sections would be right out because of heat and scarce water. Otherwise I'm pretty wide open really. I know there's no perfect 5 day stretch, but I...

I've only got a week, and I'd love to hike a scenic and memorable section of the AT. It doesn't strictly have to be 100% AT, as I'm open to looping back to my car if possible. If not, ideally I'd...

Your ankle would be better off in comfortable athletic brace and wearing trail runners instead of 70s style hiking boots.

No one glorified his mistakes! Any glory, if there is indeed any to be had at all, is in the nerve it took to escape those circumstances. It's not enough that he cut off his arm, you need him to...

Don't use a Visine bottle. Ingesting just a drop of that stuff can make you very sick or even kill some people. Sure, you'd rinse it out first, but don't take the chance.

I've done a lot of trips just like that. I don't have my maps handy, but I think we put in around Triangle Lake and the Kawishiwi River. We usually end up fishing on lakes One, Two, Three, and...

Go now. Three is a good age for this sort of thing, and there's loads of childhood left. Kids are incredibly resilient and adaptable. Really, there's no reason to believe that this would even...

I've always hung my poop and buried my food. You're all odd.

A very funny lady:

Hunting dogs can be stopped from chasing animals two ways: training and a leash. If had ever hit the trail with one of my labs (now long departed) I would have had him on a leash for just that...

Working dogs and hunting dogs seem like the best bet. They're active, nimble, driven, and most are bred to take orders.

What not to look for: Personally, I wouldn't take any dog larger than a...

My plans from a year ago have changed. I'm in education now, and while I can't afford a leave of absence, I can put together an AT thru hike over two summer breaks. Ideally, I'd like to be out...

I hope they don't cut a deal on the more severe charges. There's no reason to with video evidence.

Also, with all the people on Whiteblaze who openly state that they carry handguns on the AT,...

I'm inclined to agree with Lone Wolf. You can't push a rope.

I just read the first page.

Can you propose a counter offer? Ask for two three-month leaves of absence to be taken in two years. If the money is not a crucial factor for you, plug that. You...

Because of ingrown toenail problems, I've had both big toenails removed multiple times - starting when I was twelve. I have never had the nail chemically removed however. I wanted to, but the...

When my kids are old enough to put in some miles, Isle Royale is going to be an epic vacation/hike.

Two years ago I picked up a 65 (red and gray) on Ebay for about $120 by sniping it - bidding at the last moment. Also the price was that low just by a fluke, as that auction somehow went under most...

Why that's just crazy enough to work!

I was stumbling back to my dorm after an all-nighter of super hard college drinking -- including the after hours parties till four in the morning. I then realized that I had an exam at 10AM that I...

Thanks for the tips and tools. That's certainly something I'll consider.
