I was wondering when somebody was going to point this out. Insulation keeps your body warm because you generate your own heat and the insulation slows how quickly that heat is lost to the...

That was very cool. Thanks for sharing!
With reviews this horrible, now I have to read it.
If we all agree with HYOH, then we ought to all agree with DYOW (Drink Your Own Water). From what I have seen in the last several years, the minimal weight and cost of the Sawyer has a lot more...
In my experience, the rubber tip covers can be slippery on a lot of surfaces that the carbide tips grip well. The minor indentation left by my carbide tips in the soft soil damage the trail way less...
Perfect - thanks for the help!
I'm doing a section in this area in a few weeks. Does anybody know the area well enough to suggest one trailhead parking area over another? Thanks in advance for any help on this.
LOL - I honestly don't know. I try to save my derision for those that are gratuitously unpleasant.
Y'all are pretty harsh in your judgement. I mean, "Darwin Award was Interrupted..." and "LOL, yep still in the gene pool :-" are pretty cruel for a couple of people that made a mistake and had to...
All good info - thanks everybody.
I'm hiking a section through this area next month, and Fort Montgomery looks like a reasonable town night for me. Does anybody have any insight into whether The Inn at Bear Mountain or the Bear...
Newfound Gap to Gatlinburg was the only hitch I ever made, and it took about an hour before an older couple finally let me ride down the hill in the back of their truck. I didn't have a sign and...
I caught the exact same thing. What was stopping them from taking those measurements now?
I've parked in a lot of trailhead areas and space is frequently tight, and the parking areas somewhat small. There may not be space for a vehicle with a trailer behind it, so I agree that it makes...
My youngest son had this and would get a lot of ankle and knee joint pain when hiking with me. It made sense to me that a million years of evolution had built the hinges in our lower bodies to work...
I've always suspected that the unexpected boredom is what is responsible for the high dropout rate for thruhikers every year. I'm sure some quit because of injury, or home emergency, etc., but it...
Some may ask why, I simply ask why not? Cats would be a totally different matter, though.
Serious question, since I'm also in a state on the list and am considering my next section through New York - how would the state know, and what are the potential consequences? Does anyone know?
I'm no biologist, but I have lived and hiked and kayaked in Louisiana for 30 years. Like so many other predators, alligators have an instinctive yes/no switch for prey based on size relative to...
Actually, it was because of groups like the ATC spending their donor's money to fight it in a silly show of virtue signaling. I dropped my ATC membership because of that. They called me up to ask...
The pipeline that was going to be under the trail would have daily carried energy equivalent to 1,000 tanker trucks of heating oil. The US East Coast is pretty densely populated, and they are going...
Good way to support Damascus. Thanks for the link.
Good luck with your hike. I finished PA last spring. The thing about the rocks to me was that they slowed you down. If you are aiming for a shelter or campsite and suddenly you have to slow down...
I'm actually fine with a bar overlooking the river, so this doesn't dissuade me.
As a resident of New Orleans, I'm disappointed that you are calling yourself Dr. John. You have intentionally stirred up racial animus on a hiking message board with your post. The real, and late,...
