Does anyone know if there are accurate/up-to-date maps of the AT by section (like the maps sold by the ATC) available in PDF form?
I am planning to rely on my iPhone a lot (camera, communication,...
Hahaha very funny, creative thread:D loving the ideas!
But, now it's actually got me wondering if there's a relatively comfortable way to just roll everything up in your tent/hammock/tarp and strap...
While I don't know either Anthony or Rosie's individual capabilities, it sounds like the pace is obviously too much for Rosie, and for whatever other reasons, Anthony has a schedule to keep that...
Yes, even a fit dog can get tired out before their human(s). I hike often with my dog (husky/ border collie/ german shepherd/ lab mix) and she's normally pulling me up hills and investigating every...
REI, Osprey, and Deuter make some of the best packs (in my personal opinion) but they can be pricey... unless you stumble upon a really great deal
I also gotta agree with the 50-65 L as a pretty...
There's a difference between taking a family pet out for a leisurely stroll in the park and and having a mutually beneficial relationship with a four-legged hiking partner.
As long as a dog is...
There's really 2 basic types of "shin splints": one where it's related to those muscles that cross the front of your shin (Anterior Tibialis), and one where it's a problem with the actual bone of...
There a lots of breeds that make excellent hiking partners, but it's really gotta come down to the individual dog's personality and what you put into its training and socialization. My best hiking...
I am sorry this thread is offending people, that was not my intent in starting it or in my reaction to seeing the way our government handles things like service dogs. I did some looking and there...
Hahaha, this is awesome!:D
I actually thought about trying something like this, but had no idea how to get started... Definitely gonna look into this! might actually try to legitimately get her a...
As I mentioned before, y'know I'm really not concerned with odds of failure, but just trying to find ways to succeed, because it is in fact possible.
I agree that in many aspects it is very like...
Thanks for the helpful comments!
I've been looking into some things and found a list of shuttles and AT support services that includes some of those people/ organizations willing to kennel and...
my sister and I just got into hammock camping and tried out some variations this past winter in our backyard. I slept in a less expensive 32 degree sleeping bag inside one of those large emergency...
Really like your post, good advice :)
I'm personally a huge fan of gaiters because of how awesome they are for winter backpacking and I've had leeches creep up my leg in swampier areas without...
I'm planning a SOBO thru-hike, ideally starting by June (depends on when grad school and my thesis finally have their claws outta me:rolleyes:) I'm planning on taking my dog, and traveling with my...
My sister and I have had some of our most productive days in the rain because we just kept moving, tuned everything out, and became numb to any discomfort. Our strategy was that, yes this is not...
Before I found hammock camping I would inevitably be waking up every couple of hours to restore circulation to some part of my body, but time on the trail was still always worth it to me and I...
Wow, this is a really great series of responses. I'm just curious, but what are people's opinions of wet dog food on the trail? Obviously it's going to be heavier, but I've put a couple of cans...
Hahaha, as an athletic trainer who has participated in and worked with many different kinds of sports, I gotta say hockey (particularly high school hockey) has the single funkiest-smelling sweat I've...
My baby (Cali) is a mix of husky, german shepherd, border collie, and lab. She loves the trails, she wears a dog pack with her own food and water and still has the enthusiasm to pull me up hills (I...
I appreciate everyone's concern for my dog and want to assure you that if she is not up to I will not force her to continue.
We have hiked many miles together before and on a good day, we've done...
I'm trying to plan for a thru-hike in 2013 with my dog. I've done 5-day trips with my dog multiple times before so I know the usual challenges (and rewards) of backpacking with a four-legged friend,...
