    Insane...how would anyone even prove you were NOT a thru hiker? And I agree with odd man out above; get creative and...what could anyone even do? Evict you? No.

    I just spent 5 days in Dolly Sods with a group of friends and family; our 4th trip there 2-6 Aug. Water will not be a problem, I can assure you of that. We did the 22+ mile loop and it was...

    Exactly Lone Wolf. Are they going to send patrols on the AT looking for violators or perhaps rely on other hikes to rat them out? And this "(about 200 feet) ". 190' earns you a violation but not...

    If wearing blaze orange makes you feel better, by all means wear it but people are NOT blasting away in the woods year round. You are more at risk of being "injured" by lymes disease, hantavirus or...

    Well done jmitchell; it's not a very high bar but your link is easily one of the most valuable and useful posts I've ever seen on WB.

    EXCELLENT points!!!
    "Is it true that shelters are not essential? Yes, but neither is the trail itself."

    This goes at the top of my list of things I'm most tired of reading about; people trying to impose ridiculous LNT standards on the AT that no one is ever going to take seriously. No hiking during or...

    You're not being daft all. Keep in mind that the ATC can only make a recommendation, they may not mandate.
    No one (except a Ranger perhaps) is going to give you a citation or remove you from the AT...

    Sued into bankruptcy is quite excessive and would serve no real purpose when justice cold be served in another manner. Pay for medical bills and any trauma he suffered, take the dogs from him, no...

    Dolly Sods is easily one of the most spectacular and wonderful places on the east coast for backpacking. It's our go-to place for our spring hikes to avoid the crowds on the AT.

    Good idea but VERY few priests, at least those that are legitimate, will allow one to bring the Blessed Sacrament with you and that does not fulfill the Holy Day of obligation. What you can do is...

    No, actually that 500' rule has no applicability to hunting season or animals. It's more to discourage human animals from fouling the water but 200' for a camp site but 500' from water source still...
