I had knee issues when I started getting back into hiking. If it is a muscle issue, and you don't have biking as an option, I have found that the P90X Plyometrics exercises greatly increase all the...

I would like to stay somewhere areound 200-250 for the tent if possible (even that is streching it a bit) and I am only 5'6"...5'7' if i strap on hiking boots haha.

I recently took on my Eureka Spitfire 1 tent out in the rain, as I had never done so before, and became concerned. It didn't leak but did reveal my greatest fear. The vestibule is too small to hold...

I just completed a 3 day trip through CT and used the Iphone. Cell reception was good through out the trip and I still had about 50% battery life left by the time I was done and that was after...

Hey guys and gals,

I tried doing a search on this site to see if there were any reviews or complaints about this already but found none.

I am looking into purchasing a northface backpack but...

Btw "Southbounders" is no longer offered on Netflix. I was a little upset about this as it was one of my favorite movies.

13 mpd is alot. If you have the time go and actually walk 13 miles around your neighborhood. I attempted to the CT section of the AT but failed because my shoes were cheap, and the 15 miles per day...

Hey Guys and gals,

I about to do a section hike of the CT section of the AT. I am looking to do about 15 miles a day for 4 days to complete it. The last time I went hiking I bought a new pair of...

My sneakers are dead at this point but I will still wear them out and around. I figured that boots/hiking shoes would be better for my feet than old dead sneakers and rather than buy a new pair of...

Hey Guys,

I have never actually owned a pair of good hiking boots as I have always just worn my running sneakers on the trail with no issues. I recently purchased my first pair of boots and was...

Thanks guys for all the responses. I just wanted to know if it was a wide spread thing or just a few people with poor attitudes.

Hey guys,

In the last couple of days of reading posts I have noticed a trend in some of the posts here. It seems that alot of thru-hikers think very little of section hikers. Why is this? I...
