I hiked 180 miles starting in Yosemite earlier this summer. I would say you're good up until Muir Trail Ranch. It gets trickier after that but still doable. But if you hike during mosquito season you...

Do you think I will need microspikes for a June 19th start? (SOBO thru of the JMT)

Thanks!

Anyone have an update on what the weather is looking like now? Do you think I would find any snow during a mid june start?

Grayson highlands for sure. It's the section just north of Damascus in souther VA. It's a beautiful section with grassy balds and wild ponies. Mount Rogers outfitter in damascus is great and offers a...

No, just some fluff on her ear.

Hey, I just wanted to give an update. We finally found the perfect dog at a shelter! We think she is part sheltie part who knows??? Maybe part papillion?? 100% adorable though. We've taken her on a...

I wear ll bean kids boys boots. They go up to size six and are nice and roomy. I've never had a blister. I added super feet insoles as well. Also these boots last forever. I've had mine three years...

Has anyone owned or know someone who has hiked with their Rat Terrier? Maybe I'll look at a Rat Terrier Jack Russell mix or something.

I'm aware of this and have plans for dealing with these areas.

The jack Russell sounds like a pretty good breed, does anyone have other suggestions? I was looking at an ACD terrier mutt mix but...

I'm planning several hikes in the 3-5 day range and eventually a thru hike. Obviously, the shorter hikes would affect weather I even take him or her on the thru hike and I would have a place for him...

Hi,
I'm looking at adopting a dog from a shelter and need some advice on breeds. I know I'll have to find one with the right personality, etc, but are there some breeds that are better for the...

Are you saying this kind is too heavy??

Ok, thanks. Well, I've found a few good options and I can always haul a Frybake type pan if I need too.

Hi, I'm in search of a titanium fry pan that's maybe 7-10 inches. I have this little one that is way to small to cook anything decent in. So, if anyone know of someplace I could buy something like...

I saw a snake today. Just a harmless black racer. It had a few big chicken eggs in it and was sitting in the coop starting to eat another one. The lumps disappeared when I picked it up with a stick...

Make your own. My hammock, tarp, and suspensions weighs about 2 lbs and cost me maybe $75. Diygearsupply.com has good options.

Make sure it's seam sealed, or Seam seal it before you go. . I had a fun night on the very edge of my hammock before I learned that.

I had a north face 20* synthetic bag. Maybe it was due to the fact it was about 5 yrs old but it lost all it's insulating value. Go with Down for sure if you get a new bag.

I lost my maps, journal, tarp stakes, tarp ridge line and figure nines, and pocket knife... All in one three day section hike!!

Click home (in the top left corner of this page) and look at the left hand menu. Full of articles with loads of good info -- a great place to start your research.

My iphone 4 lasted 3 weeks on "airplane mode" without being charged and still had a good 30 percent left. My friend has a 4S that lasts about 5 days under the same conditions. Iphones seem to have...

Just curious, why are there no UL courses for 14 and 15 year olds? That would seem to be the place to start with for lowering pack weighs, given that's nearly 50% of their body weights...

Hiking sobo into Damascus?? I did the exact same thing just last week. I got a shuttle from MRO. This is a beautiful section of the trail!!!

I had an old Walmart 2 person pup tent. Right up there at six or seven lbs. it wasn't really that bad till the poles cracked and had to get duck taped. When the pole had to be carried sticking...

+1 I just peel the bananas, pop them in the dehydrator and they are so delicious. Most people I know like them hard but I prefer them soft, but dried. The problem is, they take about 12 hours to dry...
