I appreciate this post and other posts on this thread. All my life, during thunderstorms, I immediately went indoors. So, I never knew much about what has been posted on this thread. Now, I won't...

Thanks for the welcome. I got it in me to start hiking the AT a few months ago. My plan is to do section hikes for the next eight years, when I plan on retiring. Then, I would like to do a thru-hike....

The facts are that these people have gone missing from State and National Parks and never found again. There's a small percentage who may not want to be found. But, not a majority of them would just...

Look for the guy with the Belgian Malinois.

Okay. I'll keep a lookout. You'll probably see me on my way back. I'm starting tomorrow: Pen Mar to Front Royal, then back to Pen Mar. Be safe up there.

Thanks. That is helpful to know.

20872 Thanks. Great idea.

I live halfway between BWI airport and Harpers Ferry. Glad to pick you up at the airport and take you over to the ATC headquarters. It's not a problem. Hit me up as you get closer to your date. If it...

Thanks for the info, kerosene!

Christine2015, I'm curious about that, too. I do not plan on using the shelters. Partly, because my dog is with me. Partly, because stopping between shelters is highly likely. I'm interested to read...

I agree that it doesn't matter how young, old, attractive, unattractive, one male or several males. Men need to know their boundaries. Unfortunately, too many don't. This situation turned out okay,...

I see. That's very helpful. Amazing looking product.

Thanks Gambit, I do like the idea of the silicon nylon dry bag. I looked it up and I can see it's a great idea. I have compression shorts because of the Bikram yoga I practice. So, I'll bring those....

I most definitely will. Btw, I'm 5'11" , 185 lbs. I'm thinking I would wear the Medium. You think?

Ender, I looked up that poncho on Sierra Designs site. Looks pretty useful, and only $40. I was originally set on a poncho. But, after seeing 12trysomething's video on The Packa (Pack cover turns...

Dude! That thing rules! I'm on it. Your video was excellent, you explained everything. Thank you thank you thank you.

That's a good idea on the poncho. Can't beat 99 cents. Thank you.

Thank you Mattjv89, Rocketsocks, n HooKooDooku for pointing me in the right direction. 'Preciate it.

Hello everyone. On July 26, I plan on beginning a section hikingfrom Harpers Ferry to Front Royal with my dog Enzo. If anyone is passingthrough, we hope to meet you along the way. This is a new...
