I'm not debating Lone Wolf's behaviour but Wally's. Lone Wolf doesn't work for Jeff. Even if Lone Wolf is homophobic, it doesn't make him a liar. If anything, he is usually brutally honest.

Why is it acceptable to bash Uncle Johnny's online but not MRO's? If both establishments have complaints about them then both should be discussed on Whiteblaze. Fairs fair. If Lone Wolf is correct...
I like shelters. No, actually I love shelters. I take the hammock along but prefer a shelter if its empty. If it starts getting crowded I can always move down the trail a hundred yards.
I actually...
Very kewl Postholer. Nice job>

Several WWII prisoners of war escape from a Soviet gulag and hike through...
He did do a voice over in Grand Theft Auto, one of the biggest video games ever. He also played himself to excess in the HBO series Entourage. It ain't no act folks, he is one seriously sick SOB....
I have to agree with Jack on this one. The couple of times I've seen an outbreak of the dreaded G-funk it usually struck multiple hikers who had been traveling off and on together. Fiquring a couple...
"Religion is the opiate of the masses" -Karl Marx. Organized religion is a major source of the world's woes today and has been for thousands of years. Too many people just use it as another criteria...
8 oz plastic water bottle with a pop top that opens and closes. Also keep in ziplock just in case but plastic bottles are pretty indestructible.
The Waffle House is a good demarcation line but there is a smattering of them up north along truckstops. The best indicator is when you see more then two people at once with a Dale Earnhart hat, your...
Saved was bipolar. He made about half the trail but now he's doing ten years.
Not to prolong this thread which deserves to die a quick death but the whole point of Whiteblaze is for the experienced to impart wisdom and knowledge to the uninformed. I agree that any posters...
Here we go again!
In retrospect, I probably should have included more options and changed "hated it" to "didn't enjoy it". This poll was an offshoot of the Bryson thread were most posters were either firmly in one...
Bottom line, did you enjoy reading A Walk in the Woods? Not whether it was factual or should be classified as non-fiction. Irrelevant whether he "gave back to the trail" or not. Just vote based on...
Rhino, your just jealous cause the voices are talking to me! Sometimes to make them shut up you have to poke them with a Q-tip. :cool:
The voices in my head named me. I argued with them but they just wouldn't listen. They never do. Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean their really not out to get me. :eek:
Skyhiker's post reminds me of what an oldtimer in a Waynesboro, PA. bar told me on one hike:
"Pennsy is Pittsburgh on the west, Philly on the East and Georgia in the middle".
Sure you can do the trail on $1700. You could do it on $500 but would you want to? You don't say when your leaving but I would push back my start a couple months and try to save up a few more...
All things being equal, I prefer the Companion just because it financially benefits the trail and not an individual.
As for maps, you can hike the entire trail and never use them. But they have...
All you really need is an orange hat. Its the tallest and most visible part of you. I know you like your hat but it isn't worth getting shot over. Just get a nice lightweight knit orange hat and you...
Peaks and coopdog got the right idea. Can't see sitting on a bus that long. Josh and Leigh are first rate also, A+++++ hostel and shuttle service.
Definately one of the better thruhike journals.
Welcome to New Jersey-Where the Weak are Killed and Eaten:D
Same reason people watch pro wrestling or the Three Stooges or listen about Lake Woebegone. . We don't think its real but it can be entertaining. Read some of his other works, especially "In a...
