Hello and thanks in advance for reading and your input.

I'm a Section Hiker and wonder if you can let me know the condition of the above section? I hiked between Pittsfield Rd. and Gulf Rd (into...

I'll be 56 this summer and will complete several states north of WVA this year. I started getting ready last summer with lots of walks and hikes after surgery to repair a severly damaged meniscus...

One of the messages I've heard over and over again, has been that doing something like a thru hike can change your life. I'm wondering if you did indeed complete the AT as a Thru Hiker, what...

CT, NY, NJ, MA, VT, MD and WVA (possibly NH too)

So, if you've done a thru hike or even multiple section hikes, what would you do differently if you were going to do it again?
For example, did you carry too much stuff or even too little? Did you...

I stopped to get coffee on my way work this morning at a gas station I don't normally stop at. By chance, I happened to see a display for dried apples from http://www.brothersallnatural.com/ Pretty...

I've tried a few of these and think they're pretty good, but wonder if anyone has experience with them. I could defintely tell the difference.

thanks for everyone's comments. I plan to use shelters when timing/distance works out. Hopefully the snow will be gone by then :)

Good point, Max Patch. I did that too...$900 later, my teeth are ready!

I'll be doing this section and wonder if someone will be on the trail? My guess is it'll be cold and wet and just about nobody will be around, but let me know.

I should have been more specific, but it's the Juice Pack Powerstation Pro. If you decide to get...

I considered a solar charger but gave up and decided on a Mophie Juice Pack (there are others out there too). It weighs in at about 7oz and will recharge a smartpohone 2 - 3 times. I have both an...

Yep, thanks for the link. It's outstanding!

I had a full physical including EKG and even told my doctor what my plans are and asked that he review the EKG and be extra critical. His response..."Go Hiking". :)

My section hikes will probably avoid any mail drops for food pickup/resupply. I don't have lots of time to hike a mile or two into towns and then head back to the trail again and I don't want to...

I support the AMC and have most of the map "packages" they produce for the AT. My experience on the AT so far is limited and I'm wondering how accurate they are? My expectation is that the maps...

I should have been specific! By standard size, I meant the 100g size fuel canister. This is the one Jet Boil sells and it fits inside of the stove's main container when packed up.
...

I have the Jet Boil SOL TI stove...an awesome stove and I consider it to be my best piece of hiking gear. Having been stuck in the cold with a stove that couldn't boil water at cold ambient temps,...

I decided on the SPOT Connect as I doubt my iPhone will be usable in all areas and the Spot Connect will give my wife peace of mind in rural areas, but will also allow her to track where I am. Glad...

Thanks, 10-K. Version one of "Spot" didn't seem to have very consistent reviews and it's not clear to me if that's due to operator error, the product or both. Spot 2 seems better, but for me, Spot...

Anybody have experience with the Spot Connect on the AT or other trails?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

From 2012 I like , Loner, FM (FatherMan), mfrenchy77 and biophthera - all good video series. There are many more also that I really enjoyed - too many to mention (or recall) here.

The Dark Bamboo Serenity Walking Stick Flute - it's on the far right of this page.

Flute-wise...I don't play and can't tell you how...

I have one of these.... http://www.serenitybambooflutes.com/walkingstickflutes.html I really like it; it's lightweight and strong. Zero issues and it's one of the things I own that I will have for...
