I dont see whats wrong with them... The ones from the 80's are a far cry from the ones now.

Half the stuff is just normal stuff from a can they put in a plastic wrapper, I love the taste of...

I cant see how you could suck through it... any filter element effective enough to really purify water takes a bit of effort to force water through?

Yea the trail is a great place to find your soul mate, along with landfills, port-o-johns and nascar events, and the dumpster behind taco bell....

I mean if your can find true love in pure filth...

yea wow... a way to photoshop your pictures before they even leave the camera?

seems pointless to me

Not a whole abundance of "sloth bears" on the AT as far as I know...

Plus you know its all of 4 feet tall, I've got in fights with french midgets before... beating up a short furry creature isnt...

I stopped carrying one this year... First trip out I ran into 30 degree weather and my sleeping bag is rated to 20 but I froze my butt off because my bag just absorbed the cold from the ground. I...

Did you just compare indian villages to modern american cities? :confused:

I just dont see how anyone could make arguments that the increase in bear problems has to do with anything other than the simple fact of human population destroying natural habitat.

Bears are...

First this guy has to be assuming that the majority of stray dogs become stray because they arent leashed. Most stray dogs I know of are ditched by owners or escape from backyards, not run away at...

When you bring new people hiking you have 2 problems. First they will not be properly prepared and second if they arent properly prepared they will not have fun and may not want to do it again. So...

My very biased opinion.... Deleware water gap north to rt 23 in highpoint NJ is a nice 3-4 day trip.

"Sarges Surplus Store" here I come!

whoa you misunderstood my concept completely... I'm not a mileage junky, heck I'm not even a real hiker :D when I said I dont get enough time thats exactly what I ment. I get a week in the moutains...

Perhaps the trail being so overcrowded has sent hikers to find more peacefull places to hike...

If i took enough food for a week I'd need a pack. Usually I avoid stopping into towns but since there are tons of places to stop for food along the way I'm going to take advantage of them.

Im gonna take a shot at this "ultra light" hiking thingy in a few weeks... i dont have time for long hikes so i gotta get the most entertainment out of my short week long trips as i can. So I'm gonna...

In most cases on a clear night a flashlight of any kind is counter productive and you dont need one.

Its normal to get the "creeps". You do it enough times it wont bother you anymore... I just got back from hiking the batona trail and I did about 10 miles after dark since I was more creeped out...

Being only 23 I feel like i have tons of energy, great endurance, I'm in good physical shape.

But somehow my father can still kick my butt out on the trail, doing more miles a day than me and...

Everyone is out there for a different reason. Section hikers, thru hikers, and day hikers alike. Anyone who hikes for the glory or to prove themselves better than others really is pathetic though and...

I've run into annoying, obnoxious, idiot section hikers and day hikers as well as thru hikers. I dont think the miles they walked matters, they can all suck. I avoid human contact on the trail as...

granted I have not, nore will I ever sleep in a shelter but...

Is there any story behind the freaky rock things at sunfish pond NJ? Or just years of bored hikers? Seems like the whole LNT thing went out the window here, last year there was one with a T-shirt,...
