I read in irunfar that karl is off the AT. Any news on that? I was gunning for him

Hi,

I'm glad the trail journal is helpful. Meeting in the middle of the trail will be fine, as I said, we did it and really enjoyed our time together. Just don't push your mum too hard or she'll...

Hi,

I hiked in 2010 and my mum joined me for 4 weeks (from Australia) too. Here's our experience and then some advice.

My mum trained for the hike and is very fit in general. I carried a lot of...

Agree that Sunshine is much more pleasant and interesting to read. His general rants don't bother me even though he comes across as a real complainer compared to other hikers, but I really don't like...

Hey Kookork,

No, I'm a native English speaker!! I think Lone Wolf has good ideas on just about everything to do the AT and I think he has more sense that many people on WB. His views on use of the...

Lone Wolf. Most sensible person around here.

I liked Garlic's trail journal and I followed a lot of it for my hike.

Why is it "super lame"? Someone else chose mine but if could have thought of something I liked, I'd have named myself. Besides, it's hardly a necessity, a few thru hikers I met never had one.

Kilian Jornet is in a category of his own. I don't think that there are any ultra runners around who can match his talent (especially given his age). If you check out some of the records he's beaten...

I hiked behind them a lot of the way along the trail. I don't think that they yellow blazed. They did the whole thing and for a group of 3 people, it's not a bad feat. Not many people thought they'd...

Sierra Echo: Looking at the forecast, the average lows would be in the 40s which would theoretically make my summer bag ok as it is a 32. However I have my doubts and as I've never hiked in the US...

Hi,I am currently thru hiking northbound and I'll be at Bear Mountain on this Monday to continue my hike, to finish on Katahdin around 20 August. I have a 32 degree WM sleeping bag and thermal top...

Thanks to all your suggestions and private messages. I am going to check all the links you have given me to see what will be best. I was doing a thru hike but my Mum met me for a month of hiking...

Hi,

I am currently hiking the AT but I'd like to skip from approximately Duncanon, PA to Bear's Mountain, near the Hudson River. I'm not from the States so I don't know much about car rental or...

Thanks for the many replies. I have thought more about whether to take a phone, the main reasons I wanted to take one were 1; to avoid needing to spend time in towns on the internet and be able to...

Thanks, that website is very useful. When I arrive in Atlanta I assume that I can just go to a Verizon store to buy a phone?

It's a bit harder trying to work out all the logistics from France...

Hi,

I live in France and plan on doing a thru hike this year. I'd like to buy a cell phone with email capabilities in order to make local telephone calls when necessary, send emails to family and...
