Go SOBO, complain less and NOT break my wrist!
Loving how the Aussies win again!! :)
While I agree with you DG on your theory; it is still sad that a person like him is no longer around. Us Aussies know to look on the bright side of things and I'll definitely be raising my beer (NOT...
So sad. Nothing has been reported in the Aussie papers yet. The embassy should be helping with getting him home. If I wasn't on the opposite side of Australia I'd give his family the AT love we all...
Breaking my wrist in GSMNP and consequently going through the American health care/travel insurance issues. Having the worst case of the runs in my entire life while arm was in cast and no privy, TP...
Flew to Atlanta from Brisbane Australia, via Sydney, Nadi and L.A - both packs arrived safe and sound. Carried poles on carry-on, wrapped in bubble wrap and tips wrapped/covered in cardboard - no...
Wales have just made a trail following the coast.http://www.walescoastpath.gov.uk/default.aspx
So after months on trail, my sterling silver stud earrings have tarnished into a dull grey/black. Wondering if there is a simple solution to get them and the backing clean. Preferably inexpensive and...
Ps - don't forget travellers insurance!!!
Clueless- talk to your bank and see if you can get a "cash passport". We got one thru our local bank back home in australia. It is a MasterCard so is accepted (although doesn't always work online)...
LOVED the two rangers I met in the Smokies. Mind you, I did have a broken wrist and they were sent to help. Great guys, really professional, medical knowledge was great etc. Can't sing their praises...
Medicine woman! It's short step! If I'm right, you are the medicine woman who helped me in the smokeys when I broke my wrist! (turned out I broke both the ulna and radius = 3 weeks off trail). As for...
Saw seminal a few days ago at Harpers Ferry. Last saw robo at the captains hiker feed a while back.
Try buying Hikers Wool. It's a product from New Zealand, it's pure wool that you put on hot spots/areas prone to blisters. It binds to the sock, so no need for tape. It soaks up the sweat and...
Hope you get better quick!! I broke my wrist in the smokeys two and a bit weeks ago, and completely agree- the hiker community are amazing!! Even to the extent that my husband and i have been adopted...
[QUOTE=walkinthewoods;1038265]Hey guys! I just signed up to this forum today, and I'm so glad there's posts with information like this :)
I recently went to the Smokies and got really inspired to...
We applied for the B1/B2 visa - the paperwork we took showed we will leave the country after our hike. We showed our bank and investment statements (showed that we had enough to support ourselves...
Went to the US Embassy and got my visa today! :bananaGreat to finally know that although my fiancee and I have been prepping our gear, mental, physical, and financial state(s), this hike will...
Merrell Chamelen Arc Ventalators, lightweight/quick dry/UV protection shirt, marino longsleeved shirt, Hiker's wool, and US cash. Now for a visa and airticket!
BUGGER!!! I'm 48 Kilos, so any weight loss could be dangerous for me. I've always been tiny, so the prospect of loosing too much weight is something I've always had to be cautious about. Cheers...
Hi,
My fiance and I haven't done the AT yet - planning for March next year. What spurred us: a combination of things really! I've known about the trail for many years and have always wanted to see...
Cheers Jeff!
we're not citizens, but I do have a SS due to working there a few years ago. SS don't get cancelled once I leave? *starts rummaging through documents*
We are in the same position. We didn't even think of trying to get a US bank account, will look into that one! We were thinking of a mix of cash/debit card from home/travellers cheques (not overly...
How is she packing her pack? I had the same problem and it was basically because I was putting all the heavy stuff at the bottom of my pack. Try putting the weight around shoulder blade area and...
