I actually ran into him and his sons on a hike near Pinnacle Mtn. in SC shortly after the scandal. I asked him how his governorship was going and he didn't have much to say.
No! Just use socks on your hands.
Good answer!
I'm not sure that you even need a groundcloth for your tent. But if you like, you could use a painter's drop cloth cut to size. This stuff is a little hard to spread out but is virtually...
New Balance 802, Arc-teryx Khamsin 50 SL, Integral Designs Sil tarp for my 2000 thru hike
I did two 30.5 mile days during my thru. I think one of them was in PA and I can't remember the other's location. Full pack of course.
Right on! The mother will often appear to have a broken wing as she runs away in order to entice you to follow her away from her nest or young. It is very startling when you first encounter this. ...
For weekenders or overnighters, I would buy the Ohm 2.0. Heck, for thru hiking, I would buy the Ohm 2.0. But surely you could comfortably carry enough for a two or three day trip in this pack. Of...
When I started to go insane during my thru hike, I began to sing on the trail. Luckily, no one ever heard me. Rocky Raccoon, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, No Reply by The Beatles. Pancho and...
Eustice Conway is the real deal. He owns a 1000 acre tract near Boone called Turtle Island. He has thru hiked the AT by the way. My wife spent a week on his spread learning his ways and customs. ...
Probably!!
If you find out, you let me know.
Mine grew a full size during my thru, and they were already so long that I had to go to the airport to turn around. Very annoying.
And your cardiologist needs you to eat plenty of fat.
[QUOTE=shelb;1291677]What is the best area to set the tarp up in? QUOTE]
Yep, as others have said, the ideal site is a slight mound with drainage in all directions from the center. And, of...
I thru hiked with a tarp and can honestly say that I never got wet in a rain storm. Of course, the key is to not set up in a depression. As for bugs, all but mosquitoes go to sleep at night, and...
The access point is about 9 miles from Franklin, NC on US 64 toward Hayesville. There is a sign, but the best way is to look for a truck pull off at the top of the climb. The pull off will be on...
Bingo! I would not want a shoe that has no flexibility. This could cause all sorts of problems. Protection from sharp rocks and roots really has nothing to do with flexibility. I agree with the...
I too agree with Moose. In 2000, when I hiked, the Clip Flashlight and the Light Year CD were very popular. Even though they are somewhat outdated, they are still both great choices. Often times,...
I reckon not.
In 2000, when I went thru, I didn't even wave when I passed Elk Park and Roan Mtn. I had heard such horror stories of the animosity toward hikers. Well, last week, I did a short stretch with a...
Was just wondering if anyone had experience with the Kelty Cosmic 20 Deg down bag. Campmor has it for 90 bucks and weight is only 2.5 pounds. Hard to beat for the price.
Which size did you use on your thru hike??
I used a 50 on my thru and had plenty of room.
