Can you folks educate me on the water situation for the Green River Trail in West Virginia, please?
My concern is that a thru hike of this trail will require the use of water from the river and...
Infidels!!
The Optimus Nova Stoves have been recalled. 70 reports of leaks at the fuel line and pump. Since Optimus was bought out by Katadyn in 2008 these stoves have been manufacured in China although they...
Dont drive the stake all the way in when you expect frozen ground - then in the morning (when its frozen in solid) drive it in that last inch or so with a rock and it will break free from the freeze...
You got it backwards. Gatlinscab was not so bad until about the mid 90's -- whereas Spurtle Beach has not changed much since the early 80's. Of course, now the only difference is sand and granite.

I found winter nights to be too long for a bivy. That much time in such a confined space ended my bivy in the closet where it has been for years.
Its so hot that I had to rub Neosporin (it was all that I had) on my nuts to stop the chaffing.
The bad thing is... now I am going thru a tube a day at home....:eek: I'm hooked!
I used an Origami 2 for about 6 months (of 3 day weekends). I did not think it had a big footprint. It was super versatile - could be set up in many different ways. Could cook (alc) in it. Could sit...
In the past I used heavy wraps of electrical tape to protect the bottom of my pack from damage. After thinking about how to protect the bottom of the pack - especially the actual frame - from damage,...
Oops forgot to mention - there is a spring at Deep Gap. When standing at the apple tree near the center of the camp - take a bearing of 160 degrees -- 1500 feet down the side of the mountain there is...

You are a wise and intuitive man, Mr. Walter.
Of the places that I have hiked it seems that Citico has more Rattlers and Copperheads than usual. Why would it be this way? Are some areas more conducive to certain snakes? This past weekend I was...
Do not fear the little drops of water. There at least are four or five of documented cases of people who have survived rain. Being caught in rain is extremely dangerous, but the odds are good that a...
I have a home and all that comes with it. I envy the homeless from time to time. It would be nice to sit in a shelter for 8 days and not have to worry so much. I would try to stay as clean as...
You lost me -- What do you need batteries for?
If he posted that on BPL I doubt that it would be questioned. Fringe, baby...fringe
Has anyone tried cat crap on their glasses - does it work pretty good....

I can't believe you said that, Bfree. You should expect a reaming over that one.
I carry mine upside down in winter so it will not freeze. Otherwise I just put it in the water bottle holder on my pack.
Funny thing - I found one on a trail in Citico - it was cheap and said made...
Thanks Monsanto. I have long assumed that fuedal system is on a comeback. It sucks to be on the poor side of that fence - but I do not have the heart to be on the rich side. Torturing peasants just...
Tri-lingual. Sweet.
Everyone knows to stay away from Campsaver, right? They have some real issues going on and it might be best to see if they can ride it out and get things going again before you...
I've been reading some fo Jay Kerr's TR's - for the umteenth time. He has long been a hero of mine. Just thought I'd share the photo.

I emailed Optimus in Sweden and they are got the pump issue taken care of. But let me just say that I have never had the kind of trouble that I got from Campsaver. I did get dooped. And I feel stupid...
