Okay, I'm a big girl, not a big guy and therefore am a little smaller. But I also am going to be hiking with my dog, a rat terrier, who I plan on having sleep in the bag with me, so I definitely...
I don't have most of my gear yet. Just to throw that out there. I am gathering and accumulating, but I'm no where near done yet.
I was totally planning on using trail runners because I am simply not used to using any sort of boot in any aspect of my life and thought 'they're lighter and since I'm used to sneakers it won't be...
I am hoping to get an internal. But I just dug my dad's thirty year old external out of a closet. He was a serious section hiker in his twenties, and it's in pretty good condition. I'm going to have...
Some hikers I met a few years ago slept on the floor instead of their bed leading up to their hike, so their backs had time to sleeping on a hard surface every night. Just thought I'd mention it...
When I was a trail angel, some of the hikers thought it was fun to have us try on their packs and stagger under the weight. One guy's pack I tried on had a good hip/waist belt and when I put it on I...
I'm so sorry about your back and hope the surgery and your healing goes smoothly. Just thought I'd extend my sympathies.
Cool, I didn't realize that had happened. I had been thinking I might want to get a passport and visit Canada on the way home from my thru-hike (I figure renting a car will probably be the best way...
Yes! I've been thinking I wanted to feed my trail fever with a documentary. It's set to record.
I saw the one on PBS a few years ago, have been watching for it again and nothing. I know there's...
Sophie's only 18 pounds, so she's not going to wear a pack. She does, however, get cold easily so I plan on starting out with her wearing a sweater I will put pockets on either side of. In one side...
I'm thinking about carrying a netbook, but hadn't mentioned it because I figured I'd get lambasted for the weight issue.
Most people I know who have netbooks get them to use as their computer, and...
I'm a woman who doesn't wear a belt anyway, but I'm planning on wearing something with a drawstring (even if I have to put it in myself) so I can wear it after I lose weight. It's not hard to sew one...
You can grow sprouts in a bag in your backpack. I'm not saying it's for everyone, it sounds like a hassle, but for the OP, that might be a good thing to add to her diet to keep it as raw and natural...
Now, this is one of my friends, so I'm really not trying to make fun of him, it was just funny.
I had announced my intention to thru-hike the AT in 2011 and this happened:
Him:Wow! Cool! (pause)...
Yeah.. I guess it could be the individual machine at my local Walmart. But when I tried to stand like I normally did, it wanted me to lean to get, I think (this was some months ago) the images on the...
I think I read that the 26 thing won't come into effect until 2012.
Which means for the first month and a half of 2012 I could have insurance under my parent's... then I turn 26. lol
I was laid off last February, didn't find a job for over 11 months. Got one I really like, but it's ending now (always knew it was temporary). Think I'm going to work at Kohl's, a friend of mine...
I went and tried one of the machines. It wouldn't register my foot map until I was leaning so far forward I was almost touching the screen, a position I NEVER am in in real life. Then they told me I...
I am so excited! I'm telling a lot of friends what I'm planning, and thinking in my head 'and this time next year...!'
Trail Name- I don't have one yet, my first name is Pamela
Direction- NOBO
Estimated Start Date- Early March
Approach Trail - unsure
Hiking with my dog, Sophie
Good question. I'm glad I read this b/c I was wondering the same thing about bounce boxes of cold weather stuff. :)
I love this site. I was just thinking earlier this evening "hmm.. I wonder if I could dehydrate spaghetti sauce.."
I've got no brothers, but about half my friends I've told have kind of got this 'really??' look in their eyes, and bluster about things they think I should do, as if I'm not thinking this through...

I really need to proofread more closely.
