I can't say enough about the place. Very very nice.
Had an amazing Thanksgiving with total strangers last year at the Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega. I know most stay home with family on turkey day- but if you are gonna be out on the trail- book a bunk...
nevermind you just said that lol
boil water put it in bottle, put in bottom of sleeping bag for added warmth if necessary.
headed out there in 3 weeks!
Haven't been on the trail in over a month and it's killing me. However, my new kilt from sportkilt arrived last week! Light weight microfiber. Simple Velcro closure. Can't wait to wear it now that...
Come on dude this story has been around for YEARS AND YEARS. Lol. Usually is told about a NOLS solo night
To connect with people that share my interest.
Headed back to Ga again this weekend for trail fest. Just wondering if anyone else will be there. Bringing kids and dog so won't be camping ....gonna crash with Toli at his place. Didn't go last...
Glad you like it man thanks!
Nike free running shoes. This summer I'll wear some 5 fingers
As a parent of a 6 & 8 year old I have to agree. Not fair at all. They need you home, as mine do. Section hike now. A week is fair. You can cover some good miles in a week, as you know. Wait til...
Watch my kids grow up healthy. Thats it. Everything else takes a back seat. I'd love to climb everest...but watching my kids be happy is far more important.
Hang food, sleep with pack. Last time out I slept with my pack and food in my tent. No bears, but I could hear what sounded like mice scratching on the walls of my tent.
sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent/tarp, water, food.
I'd leave it at home
I totally disagree that "a few pounds" here or there can't affect your hike. If you have a 7 lb pack, you're gonna put too much stuff in it. You're gonna end up with 40 pounds. People thru hike...
I did this and then on to Unicoi 2 weeks ago. It is up and down, but not "difficult" per se. I find that if I just keep it somewhat slow and steady, I don't even feel a burn in my legs. Ever. If...
Super makalu
You could walk across the country one day at a time if you wanted to. My childhood Doctor did the trail over many, many years. I am almost done with Ga, and have never been more than 2 nights at a...
If I was near a shelter I'd get under it assuming you are talking about a huge tornado coming towards you. Actually I may just get in it, I'd hate for it to collapse on me. If I was in the middle of...
I've been on that section more than once and you can certainly do 15 a day if you are in good shape and break camp at 7am
my first trip, which was just last year, I had 50 pounds. As I type this, I am looking at my 3 ounce Zpacks zero with a base weight of 7lbs. Live and learn. Its all part of it though. No new guy ...
assuming Larry dean isn't a serial killer this is GREAT!
I just got a zpacks "zero" with a few add ons. Its smaller than the normal blast I think. I rolled up my thermarest and put it in the bottom. Sleeping bag on top of that. Walrus 1 man tent on top...
