I'd have to say this is unlikely, purely on a biological standpoint.

I just throw on my rainjacket in those temps.
I went through Damascus at 10:30 at night, so I missed the Place, not even sure where it was. My headlamp batteries were severely low, so I could barely see. Got water at that spigot in town and went...
Doubtful. I have been carrying a swiss army knife for years without any issues. Lately, I carry a Folts minimalist for my fixed blade, 2" blade and weighs about 1.5oz, and sturdy enough to baton...
Even for $40 a night a motel isn't worth it, personally. I stayed in only 2 on my thru, in Franklin where it was split 3 ways, and near Fontana when a friend's dad paid for it, for a couple guys I...
Golite Quest large: 3lb10oz
Cut down and modified ridgerest winter pad: 16oz
Modified tarptent: 16oz
0degree(really a 15, probably)modified quilt: 2lbs8oz
Total: 8lbs2oz, but it is comfortable...
That's odd, every time I see a church around where I live, they have parking spots and wheelchair ramps. I don't think they should be exempt, honestly.
I met people in the Army that couldn't...
I like a cut down wooden closet rod as my hiking pole. It is stout enough that I can put my weight with my pack on it in any position and it won't break.
Yeah, I rarely shower daily unless I go out for a day hike or something, it is just not needed. People have been brainwashed to be mindless consumers, and do things "just because they have always...
I sleep badly the first night out, but pretty well from that point. I remember the first night of my 2010 thru, camping in the snow in about 20 degree weather, wondering if I had made a mistake,...
What permits would you need, and how many miles total are the roadwalks? I have thought of doing the FT since my AT thru in 2010. Is the trail well known enough in towns that cops won't stop and talk...
Too heavy, serrations suck, Gerber knives generally aren't all that great. I won't go into Bear.
I didn't mean you, I meant the two previous posters. I don't mention Iraq for accolades, it is more of a reminder to people that you have no idea who you are talking to on the internet, and jumping...
Merrells, XCR moabs were the second, not sure about the first. You need to reattach the upper to the sole, as it splits. I used paracord through the sole and sewn to the upper. Had 400 miles on them...
It's sodium laryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, those are the harsh degreasers in shampoo. If yours has it(most do), then it is probably pretty bad for your hair or scalp.
Not a female, but I did have long hair, growing it out again. You actually do not need shampoo, as your scalp and hair are self cleaning. I just run moderately hot water through my hair for a minute...
Stainless steel tends to dull fast. I carry a small diamond rod sharpener, might be an ounce, and I can put a razor edge on all my knives.
I've missed Pirate every time I have been through there. Supposedly he is a really cool guy, sad that I never got to meet him.
Whatever, I was mainly talking about the whiny civilians getting all p1ssy about it. I'm not hiking on food stamps, I was merely stating that it might be possible. The guy asked a question, I...
Anything I ever owed this country, I paid off in Iraq.
Used 2 pairs on my thru, still wearing the second on hikes.
Not mooching at all, healthcare is much too expensive, there is no reason it should not be affordable for everyone. Not free, but affordable. I looked into a ton of healthcare plans, I am 31, in...
I think you can get them as being homeless, and you could be looking for work as well. I considered doing it, just so I could hike continuously. It would honestly be worth it, to just be able to hike...
Tie two belt loops together with 550 cord.
You can use a fixed blade knife as a can opener. Put the point on the can on the edge like you would do with a can opener, hold the knife, and hit the pommel with your palm. Then, rock the blade back...
