Rainman, did I let you know Jim and I will be there? If not, consider it done.
The mosquito head net/was $2.00. Very happy to have it in MA and weighs less than an oz.
I like Darn Tough, but, I prefer my Bridgedale Trekkers. I have one pair of Bridgedales that made the entire AT thru and I am still using them today after 6 years. I bought a pair of Smartwools and...
I did meet Low Profile heading into Mahoosic Notch in 2006. LP was a dachshund. His owner, Red Beard, said he had 3000 trail miles. LP did have a bell around his neck.
I didn't have the flu, but some fever and upper respiratory thing starting out of Hot Springs. I hiked with a fever for 15 miles then quit at 2pm at a shelter to nap, forcing myself to eat (raman)...
I just put my leftover clothes in an stuff sack and use that. Worst case my rain jacket would be the last thing in the bag and folded into its pocket makes a small pillow.
I will still be there for dinner. Got some folks driving down from outside Chicago to look at houses. I THINK they are changing their plan to Friday instead of Saturday, if so, I'll be there to hike.
I hiked GA twice in May a couple years apart. I wore zip offs mainly as shorts with a wicking T. In camp I would zip the bottom back on the pants and put on my wind shirt. I don't remember using my...
Hey! I'll be there with my hubby. Can't wait to hear RedHat's adventure! I do believe we will be hiking in Radnor as well. Who else is coming??? Gotta be some more WBers near Nashville (or not) who...
Hey Owl, I guess I never knew a difference in the girl/boy thing. My folks always had us out camping and we wandered the woods by ourselves (early latch key kids - no keys to the house tho). Just go...
Check out the Casio Exilim series. My thru camera weighed 4 ozs, needed recharging every couple of weeks, takes video. Strapping to head? Probably not. Video in my older camera used a lot of memory....
My thoughts are with you, Crumbsnatcher.
My thoughts are with you.
As our small group was preparing to cross the highway going toward Pawling, NY, a red car pulled up and called one of the guys by his trail name. The guy in the car had been following Bird's journal...
I have the Squall 2 and use it solo. There is plenty of room for 2, however, I am not sure about people plus the packs. That might be a bit tight, especially for your height. (I am 60 inches tall)
Rain Man, I will be there as earlier noted, but, now I'll be bringing Jim. If I don't have to work, we'll be there for the hike.
Skooch, I too experienced the rubbing when I first put on my pack. Actually loading and wearing the pack removed the rubbing. So, find a pack that fits comfortably and then use it. I think you'll...
Last weekend I made some Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies. They were much better than expected. Made to send to my cousin's finance as she refuses to even have bacon in the house. I think I'll up...
21 of the first 30 days of my thru had rain. I started late so the rain was warm. One hour of hiking with my rain jacket had me convinced just to get wet and enjoy. Hiking kept me warm enough. It...
Sure beats hand winding. Great idea.
Count me in! Bearpaw, it will be good to see you again.
I hiked with Mark and Twain in 2006. They were in their mid 60s (husband & wife) and started Aug 8 southbound at Katahdin thinking to do the north half of the trail that year and finish in 2007. They...
Addressing your feet becoming hot in a leather boot...the week (yes only 1 week) I wore leather boots, my feet would sweat so much the leather on top of the boot showed moisture where the sweat...
I like Bridgedales. I'm still wearing a pair that made my thru (2006) with no holes. The smartwools I bought in Hanover had holes in the balls of the foot and heel in less than 6 months. I have my...
I can't answer to the Pursuit specifically, however, I hiked with the now discontinued Infinity. It was small and I went through 2 of them, one at Daleville and then when I finished the trail. I...
