It's too bad you already rented your place - that's what we're doing with a renter to care for our three cats (dog is going to my mother's). On top of Puggle rescue, maybe look for other non-profits...

I blog in general. I have a specific "Take A Hike" category I created in 2012 for my month-long stint on the AT. And I'll be posting under that for our thru-hike this year (3/12/13 start date): ...
I put this off because we were all set on a 2012 hike and my spouse decided he wanted to accept a new job opportunity. I worried I'd jinx things this year if I posted too early. We're less than a...
My husband and I are prepping to thru right now. We have an elderly non-hiking dog and three cats. The dog is staying with my mother (who is looking forward to the company). We have arranged a...
I LOVE my NewTrent! I also end up charging other people's stuff. And I use my iPhone as every electronic need - phone, camera, notes, trail journaling via Wordpress, email, iPod, etc.
I'm not...
Do you want / plan to hike with your husband after this adventure?
The reason I ask is that until April, I had never hiked solo. I started at Springer with a partner (not my husband, although he...
The bag for my tent stakes.
Allergies limit how long I wear contacts in every day life, so I opt for glasses while hiking. But as an alternative, instead of getting contacts that I can wear multiple days on end, I have 1-day...
I do the 2-roll-and-knee method, but I don't fold. I carry it rolled on the outside of my pack, with a trekker roll sack to protect it/cinch it. I'm not a very careful/graceful person getting my...
I'm interested in hearing if any husband/wife teams end up hiking more solo day-to-day. Meeting up more like a trail family?
Before a month on the AT this year, I'd done all of my overnights with...
Any chance you were dehydrated? That will cause an increase in heart rate.
I've scaled back my planned thru-hike to try and complete Springer to Damascus in about 5 weeks. Husband was planned companion for thru but he bailed on me because of a job offer. I'm lucky he is...
You mention Tallahassee and then also South FL so I'm not sure where you are located, but if St. Petersburg is a day trip for you I suggest checking out Bill Jackson's for gear. Knowledgeable and...
Thanks for the responses. I had checked/googled prior but all the results are a few months old. I didn't know if perhaps someone had come out with a "tips and tricks for updating" that resolved...
I'm less than two weeks away from starting my Springer -> Damascus trip. To say I'm antsy is an understatement. There are a few things up in the air but I have a good idea where the answers lie....
I use a GoLite Quest and love it. It has few pockets/storage areas which I prefer. Less for me to remember where I stashed what. But both my main hiking partners (husband and female best friend)...
His FAQ says his going to SOBO the AT. But his mail drops say his ETA in Damascus is 9/18 and then Hanover, NH on 11/6. I am geographically challenged, but that doesn't sound quite right...
It sounds like you've made a decision, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in that long hair doesn't have to be hotter. Just wet it. I have l-o-n-g hair and don't own a blow dryer. After a shower I...
Thanks for the information. We are both runners. :) Both my personal estimate and the whiteblaze NOBO plan hit Damascus around day 34/35. We have a little leeway and love the idea of making it to...
Great information! Thank you so much! LW, I will PM you for shuttle info. :)
My husband and I planned to thru-hike this year. He was offered a promotion he really wanted at work, so now that hike is more than 2 years out.
I, however, have the time now and want to do...
As a Floridian with tough feet, I can say that it's possible. In fact, you have intrigued me to consider going barefoot on my next hike...I can't stand getting all that sand in my socks/shoes!

How long has she been backpacking with you vs car camping? Could be she just needs more experience to feel comfortable.
You are a better man than I. (Besides the fact I'm a woman). I think I...
This is kind of general, kind of women-specific.
As of right now, I take vitamin D3 and a vitamin B complex per Drs orders. She has never suggested iron or calcium - I guess my blood work is...
+1. You are a kindred soul.
