When was this? I know the Ward Leonard has done it three times back-to-back in eight months in 1990. I saw him doing it. The Traveler, who claims he hiked it back-to-back five times in 1988 - 1990...

Thank you for the information. I was not sure how a GoPro would handle it - I did my winter adventure before they were created. Yea, I know about batteries needing to keep them warm but did have good...
Very Cool. Can you share what kind of camera you used? When I did my sole January winter hike of Maine in 2005, my cell phone was dead in less than 20 minutes. I just left it behind for the duration...
I have not had any problems, but it has been several years since I was in the area. Before leaving my car at a location, I look on the ground for glass from broken windows. Also, fresh cans of beer...
Jim,I know something that is not talked about much and may be interesting to your readers is UL and SUL backpackers back in the 1990s. Jeff Hanson, Warren Doyle, WingFoot, and even myself were...
How about Jeff Hanson? Back in the day, Jeff Hanson helped many Northbound hikers shave weight with their oversize packs. He ran a hostel at Neel Gap. Jeff was also one of the most knowledgeable...
garlic08,
Can you give a little bit more details on where you were when it happened? I've been leaving my car while I do long stretches both ways. I have an older car but still worried about...
I used a 20L when I did thru-hike the Colorado Trail back in 2015. The size of the pack wasn't the problem, I prefer a little bit more padding on the shoulder straps. I used the same pack on the AT...
It does not seem like we are getting the entire story here. It would be interesting to hear what happened the previous day to trigger it. I have never been to the "Gooder Grove AT and Adventure...
That is BS. Back in the 1990's, there we several of us who just used a bivy for our entire thru-hike. I used a bivy for Ward Leornard myself both used bivies for our thru-hikes. I'm sure several...
Hopefully you are right and there are no more incidents. Thank you for the update.

I agree with you and your position, but it is often more difficult for those that are on the trail. Someone pointed out this to me, the victim is often several hundreds of miles away from where the...
TwoSpirits,
Most of us are not doctors, and the hardest thing any of us can hear is our hiking days are over. I also know people dedicated to doing something are going to do it any way regardless...
Speaking as someone who has been an SUL backpacker for over 30 years now, the whole concept of base weight and UL backpacking has changed. In 1989, when I first went under the 5-pound base weight...
This jack@ss is also not part of law enforcement so the 4th Amendment does not apply. He is not searching someone home or tent. He is reported as opening a female hiker's tent without her...
Blackcloud,
I don't think this jack@ss is any part of LEO. I have also never heard of anyone who was criminal prosecuted for opening another persons tent. I'm not going to suggest it is right, but...
Durwood, I never said different, but you missed the point. Just because someone feels unsafe or feel their personal space is been invaded, does mean the other person is doing some criminal. I'm not...
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not even sure if the police would need a warrant to enter someone tent when it is on park land. In most cases, the area is not being rented, no exchange of money for...
I for one had a run in with the twelve tribes when a former friend of 12 years got involved with them. Their members have to give up all their possessions include the present I gave to my friend. The...
If someone walk in your front door, there are legal documents that show you own/rent the property that someone illegally entered without permission. You have a legal right to decide who enters your...

Do either of you have proof of him masturbating outside women's tent or inappropriately touching someone? I'm not saying it did or did not happen. I think we can all agree it...
There was a backpacking back in the 1980s who hiked the AT three times with MS. Did the who trail on crutches.
As for any kind of medical advice on how long afterwards you are better off speaking...
As 4eyedbuzzard pointed out, since they did call 911, it involved sending out rangers/SAR/Wardens trekking out with additional gear, water, and other necessities to get someone out. Yes, the two...
RiverbirchHiker,
I have section hiked the entire AT in the winter. It is not an easy journey. I did my journey nearly entirely without support. I also accepted the risk that if something was going...
I have had no issues before either. Before setting off on a long trip, I visit my dentist for a good cleaning. I also include an inexpensive electric brush that I send to myself in a bounce box when...
