As someone who unexpectedly developed altitude sickness- talk to your doctor. There are a lot of potential factors. In my case, my thyroid may have played a part. I will not go over 10,000 feet again...
I have never used hiking poles, and in fact for years have marveled that people bother to carry them. It always seemed to me that they were unnecessary for people that had good balance and knew how...
They haven't made them in years, but if you can find a used Wild Things AT... buy it.
I wouldn't take a farm in Ga for mine.

People often consider me paranoid, but I...
The report clearly states that Mr. Wallace had defensive wounds- he was alive and fighting back; he just had no weapons with which to do so.
I love YNP; I love hiking in TNP.

"Congress shall make no law.... abridging the freedom of speech"
Gee, what a great idea!
Seriously?
It's a good thing we don't have any real problems, and they don't have any real work to do, like passing a budget or anything...
Good thing we ahve a lot of excess cops sitting around...
The original, prison-originated meaning of those tats was a man killed. Like notching the handles of a revolver.
I use a large, which of course is 25" wide. There are threads herein detailing how to shorten them.
I love my possumdown gloves, which seem impossibly light and which could be worn walking.

Yeah, I have a little Shawnee and a little Cherokee in my family tree; but I've never concerned myself overmuch with their superstitions, or those of other stone-age savages.

Coyotes have essentially eliminated the raising of sheep in WV.
Our forefathers had cause to think of them as pests.
There are a lot of people who hate those who believe in any concept of right/wrong that is sticter than their own. They call those people intolerant.
Make cowboy coffee, strain it thru a bandana or such if you like...
No one has mentioned peanut butter or Bear Creek soups. Eggs keep far better than many people realize. I also like to bring a frozen pound of hamburger out of town. Half the first night, Hamburger...
