Leaving Harper's Ferry 3rd week of March or so heading to Springer.
Fiddlehead...your "Dry, but not too dry" comment hits right on a question I've been mulling over. I'm new to dehydrating (my kitchen looks like a bomb went off right now). I dried seasoned ground...
I did the "Notch" last year S to N in cold, pouring rain and managed it in 2 hrs and 2 minutes. I was glad to have it behind me, but was pissed at myself for working myself into a frenzy for a day...
BTW, as I recall the details... I did actually start using Purell on my feet in the evenings to clean/disinfect. Whether it helped or not I can't say, but it made me feel better about their...
Yep...that's me and you and your friends were the ones I was referring to in my post. I hope I got most of the details right. If not, please correct me. If I had met you folks sooner I'd have had...
I must have set some sort of record for the worst feet in the 100 Mile Wilderness last year (mostly self-inflicted). Thankfully, there were some really sharp folks hiking in the vicinty (they hike...
All,
I had the same problem last season....both pinky toes....and actually medevac'd myself out to a Doc for treatment once infection set in in the 100 mile wilderness. I couldn't have picked my...
Thanks folks,
I think I'm pretty close to right....I guess I have to be; my pack is full. I'm 6'5" and 265lbs. I forget that everything from my clothes to my sleeping bag is a little bit bigger...
Hi everyone,
I'm stepping off later this month from Maine heading for Georgia and am in the throes of packing/re-packing and feeling pretty ridiculous. I've got the re-supply angle covered and...
Concur with Bronk 100%. I read 3-4 of his books (reprints) last Winter while working in Ukraine. The guy got under my skin so badly I took a month off and went to Canada as far north as...
I heard about Dick P. when I was living in Seattle a few years back. PBS was constantly featuring his story in their pledge drives....and for good reason. I bought the book and 2 DVDs, the original...
Lemhi Aye.
You won't miss me....6'5" 260-ish (and dropping fast) great yellow pack, bug shirt and slathered in bug juice. I expect you'll confuse me for a moose.....hence the yellow pack.
In...
All,
Optimistic for a 1 June 09 step off, but may slide to the right a bit based on wx/high water (or the plague).
Been planning this for a year btwn SOBO and NOBO, but SOBO won out based on my...
Hi Folks,
I'm prepping for a June start o/a the 1st, but that may slide a bit to the right. Any thoughts on the weather this year in ME.
I know the bugs will welcome me with open arms (sic),...
Trail Name: Lemhi
Direction: SOBO
Date: o/a 1 June

Other details the world might want to know: Nope. Just ready to get on with it.
Folks I'd like to thank each of you for your comments. I'm an US expat living in Odessa, Ukraine preparing for my first AT thru-hike and your thoughts really add a spring to my step. I'm neck deep in...
