Well I actually just got a Fitbit Inspire 3 for free with 6 months premium subscription free from my job’s employee health clinic. So I guess I’ll give this thing a shot.

Not especially..I look forward to and relish the solitude. It was colder than expected but I have dealt with similar tempts plenty. Maybe on longer solo winter trips it would get to me.
My...
I don’t have any recommendations but there is another option you didn’t mention - a ring. My friend has an “Oura Ring” that he decided would be better than a watch.
Personally, I am interested...
Couple months late but what the heck, may as well post a little recap from my 3 day AT section hike this past February in Virginia. This was my most recent AT section hike, from mile 625 VA Hwy 663...
Huh, I found the forum you’re referring to. Had never heard of it before. Seems like a similar vibe to WhiteBlaze, but with even less activity. Seems like a consolidation would be mutually beneficial...
I take two different types of backpacking trips..long trails and rambling around wilderness areas.
I have cut trips on long trails short twice, one I attribute to still being a beginner and the...
Bottom left-hand corner. But the mobile option isn’t much better imo.
I have often thought about the “how we access these sites” factor but somehow forgot to mention it in my reply. I think that might actually be the biggest factor of all - most people these days...
This topic comes up every few months lol. Other than Reddit, there are Facebook groups like rhjanes said. But frankly, the discussion there is like 95% geared towards beginners asking the exact same...
Ah, that makes sense. Glad you had a good trip!
That’s interesting they actually wanted to know your itinerary. When I thru hiked in 2021 we told the ranger the date we planned on finishing and they hardly looked up at me to make eye contact.
Oh no. I actually ran into Bright Eyes and dog in Virginia on my February section hike. They are finishing the IAT having started in Newfoundland. Dog was a sweetheart, this makes me sad.
You absolutely should take that as a compliment and I appreciate the offer! I am overdue for some NH/Maine action. I could see myself taking a trip to do some random loops/exploring before I make...
Looks awesome LoneStranger, I enjoyed your introductory video. I won’t be watching because this is a part of the world I have not yet visited, but I love hearing about these improvised routes.
Volunteers, in conjunction with the USFS and the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy, have begun work to connect the Bartram Trail to the Benton MacKaye Trail. This would connect from near the...
Any particular reason for staying on the AT? The park has ~900 miles of trail that won’t be full of thru-hikers this time of year and you could just pitch your tent and not have to “hope for the...
I am planning to hike the Beara Way in Ireland this summer. I can’t find much good information online in terms of guides or general beta. Has anyone here hiked this trail and be willing to answer...
It says under Posting Permissions at the bottom of the page, “You may not edit your posts”. Is it only posts you started?

You could pick and choose nice sections of the Florida Trail. I haven’t hiked it but I’m sure other could make some suggestions.
Congratulations on finishing the Pinhoti!! Enjoyed your final report and your reports throughout.
Planning to do the Foothills in one go? At your pace you could do it in 4 days.
In addition to what Gambit said..
Any stretch that includes:
Max Patch
Beauty Spot
Little/Big Hump Mountain
Laurel Falls
I really loved the Smokies personally.
Likely highs in the 80s with lows in the 60s/50. You might get some awesome, primo days in the 70s in October. Depending on your pace it could cool off towards the end of your hike…or not :) Enjoy,...
Nah, you good! This is about 2024 only, yours was about the general “near future”..
You and I have a very similar style as what I will call “goal-oriented” hikers! Nice thread.
Here’s what I would like to complete in the next SEVERAL years (while I also work my way up the AT, I’m...
