Enough that my brother is constantly coming in my room saying, "you're STILL on there!?" :D

I am obviously not talking about people who genuinely need unemployment. I am referring to the kinds of people, like the one who started this thread, that are considering collecting unemployment...

I'm actually disgusted by this thread. So many people expect to have everything handed to them and everyone has so many excuses. It's just..disgusting.

I completely agree. This is a ridiculous question. Do you collect unemployment when you go on vacation? No. So, don't do it on a thru hike. If you're collecting unemployment right now, you shouldn't...

Haha, well you wouldn't exactly be using punctuation or spelling while hiking since you would be talking not writing, so I don't think it would be a problem!

REI has the GSI outdoors cooking sets microdualist and pinnacle dualist on sale for about $20 cheaper than normal. Here's the...

Iron supplements or eat iron enriched foods. Something as simple as a tablespoon of molasses a day could work. That's what I did.

I've been reading quite a bit of the threads in these forums since I'm planning a thru and I thought of something that could be useful that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else on this site: Has...

Does anyone know of a four season solo tent or has had experience with one? I seem to only be able to find 3.5 season solo tents or 2 person 4 season tents. I am getting increasingly more frustrated...

DO BOTH! But a Tumbleweed Tiny House and Thru Hike. :) http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/ These houses are so cute.

Fatty acids are a secondary source. of energy, not a primary. There's no way of getting around the fact that carbs are the body's MAIN and PRIMARY source of energy, that's just how the body works. Do...

JAK, one meal a day is not a good idea. That's a good way to slow your metabolism and store more fat, unless you are completely sedentary (but seeing as you are on a hiking website I am guessing...

Well, I'm a Biology major. So, the thing about carbs being energy is just one of the most esssential things you learn in Biology. Carbs are your body's main energy source. Simple carbs include...

I actually read her journal, but I didn't really like it because I'm a stickler for correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Thank you, Mark! Good luck to you, too. KeyWest, that actually isn't a...

If you're worried about oily hair, it's best to not use conditioner. The conditioner comes back out a day or two later and makes your hair greasy. Just bring a small container of detangler spray.

haha, alcohol is the center of many problems.

If you eat smaller meals, then your metabolism speeds up and you have to eat more frequently. Like if you were to do a 6 meal per day diet. Also, you want your breakfast to be high in carbs, just...

I got caught in a hurricane hiking to Money Point in Nova Scotia one summer. So there was torrential downpour and I still had 15 miles to walk. I just had to keep reminding myself of what was waiting...

would it keep you warm during the winter?

Does anyone have any experince with this tent or other Nemo tents? How did they work for you? Also, have your experinces with air beam tents been good or bad?

Do you know around what day you'll be leaving? I'm hoping to leave Feb. 15. Would you mind a female hiking partner?

Allegheny, just for the record, I do have a job. Tinker, I've seen a lot of partner threads in the female forum that don't get replies, so I didn't want to post it in there. Also, I'm not looking for...

I doubt that will be a problem. Im 6ft and my legs are incredibly long. I keep stride with my dad who's 6'4. But, yes, let me know if that happens! (although I hope for you that it doesn't)

No, I can't. My parents pay for my education and housing, so I can't just be running off doing thing without their consent.
