No. There is no such thing as a miracle.

I don't have a problem with charity, I have a problem with calling something charity if there are strings attached. True charity is given freely without any obligation. If that's what this charity is...

On neither site do I see a breakdown of how the money is used, including what percentage of the money raised goes to the project. This is a huge red flag for me and for many other people, especially...

I see a lot of vague handy-wavy woo in there. You studying psychology?


5: Beliefs aren't based in fact. I try to have knowledge rather than beliefs.

6: Do you consider the initial singularity...

Would you ask this same question if your hiking partner was a man? No? Then it doesn't need to be asked. We women can carry the same gear you guys can. Sometimes we even carry your gear as well as...

More hikers wanting sponsors to pay for their vacation, cloaking it as a "charity" hike. If they really wanted to do something worthwhile for their charity, they should give the money they're going...

No they're not, read the label. They're 190 for HALF the noodle block and HALF the seasoning packet.

No "ritual". I just do what needs to be done when it's time to do it. That varies from day to day.

You'd have to find a ride anyway, so it's not like an extra complication thrown in.

Why would I (or anyone else) want to wear something that is painful and need "breaking in" when I can buy a different brand and have them be perfect from the first minute I put them into my shoes?

Arm. Calf tattoos just make you look like your leg is dirty or bruised, especially if you're a guy and have hairy legs.

And just as many people hate Superfeet. Personally, they left me feeling like someone had hammered the soles of my feet with a sledge. And yes, I was properly fitted. Superfeet are hard, not...

Links to subscription-only content. >:-(

I'm actually considering doing the Benton Mackaye as an alternate route instead of that first madhouse section of the AT. Then continue on the AT on the far side of the Smokies.

I roast my own small-batch coffee from ethical sources, mostly small family farms that grow unique varieties with a wild range of flavor profiles. There is no commercial coffee that can match it.

Don't do this to your dog. Very few dogs are suited for trail life, and extended hiking, especially dogs that are inbred purebreeds. Your dog is too far removed from its evolutionary ancestors to be...

That store was not open when I went past last September.

Longest I did without resupply was ten days. I had about a day's worth of food left when I was done.

Get a snake to live in your place. Voila, no mice.

Let's be honest here, Via isn't coffee, it's brown water with caffeine. But, it's the most convenient brown water for backpacking because of how it's packaged.

Via. It's crap coffee like all the rest of Starbuck's overpriced swill, but it's the most convenient.

I'm disturbed that your FIRST concern isn't the safety of other people. You need to remove your dog from the trail until the time when it's properly trained. That might be never, depending on the...

I spent my dividend last week...so they're already out.

If you can do three weeks, why not do the John Muir Trail instead? Stunning views, gorgeous weather, the hike of a lifetime...

Yeah, I found no real issues with staying ahead of my water needs, even at the end of summer. Just get it when you see it, and you'll be fine.
