OH, also, the bugs generally weren't bad... April is a bit early for the bugs... they generally don't come out until early May.

Quite right. It was April, which would normally be the tail end of ski season, but with the warm winter/spring we had in 2012, it was quite nice... not to mention dry. Thanks to everyone for the...
Hey all,
For anyone interested in thru-hiking the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway Trail, I did a documentary of my hike of it last spring (2012). check it out www.trekkingon.com www.youtube.com/tuts999 ...
Breaking point... that's an interesting question. I don't often chime in on this site, though I do keep up with it from time to time. I never really talk about it in any of my films, but for me......
Came up with the name Taconic Ridge Loop Trail... any other ideas?
I'm doing this "loop trail" with a buddy in a couple of weeks. I'm going to film the experience (my first film with another person), and would like to come up with a name for this trail that we can...
Hey all,
Planning on doing the PA Mid State Trail starting near the end of this month. Would like to know if anyone out there could give me a ride to the northern trailhead. I will be taking a bus...
My issue right now is that I'm seeing a huge gap between the trailhead and the first campsite at mile 42.7... That's a very large gap even for me. Anyone know any other gaps off hand? Anyone know a...
Thanks for the info everyone. Now I'm trying to figure out where I can camp legally. I know there are some shelters (really far apart) but in those large gaps between shelters where could I legally...
Hey all,
I'm hoping to do a thru-hike of the Pinhoti Trail northbound starting in April or May but I really want to get that homemade guide through the www.pinhotitrailalliance.org website. ...
Actually, when I did the AT and then the LT the next year I did them both without a tent and didn't have any problems. As long as it's within 20-25 miles from the previous shelter, then I can make...
I already knew about the Laurel Highlands Trail but forgot to list it on my list. It's a tough thing, finding this information out. I am looking only for those trails with shelters through the...
Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out which of our nation's trails have shelters though their entire lengths. So far, I've found only the AT, Cohos Trail, Long Trail, Northville-Placid Trail,...
Hey all,
It's been a while since I've posted on this site, so I figured I would chime in again. I have made a few more hiking films since I was here last. In the spring, I thru-hiked the New York...
I actually didn't have any problems with deer flies last June for my LT thru-hike. They do suck, though, I have a lot of experience with them. You gotta slap hard and if you get them, rub until you...
I filmed my LT thru hike last early June. www.trekkingon.com I had some black flies in the south but, I found that the spots where the black flies were, I would out pace them while hiking. From my...
Mac- I left 2/17/09, so by the time you left, I was already well on my way.
After doing a little research, I found something that will help you if you want to do some of the Midstate Trail. http://www.ugcs.org/~benedett/hikes/mmt/pdf/index.html click the link and you'll...
I have one of the new generation candle lanters. I've seen them used before, but have never used mind. The one I have can be picked up at any EMS or REI... perhaps even at Dick's Sporting Goods and...
There are a couple of shelters on the Midstate trail. I cannot remember where they are but a friend of mine has a guidebook with all the details inside it. Have you checked the midstate trail...
I went south to north and hitched back down to Smuggler's Notch. Hitching is a great way to get around, especially in Vermont. I have an article about it on my website. Good luck to you and I'll...
Likely whe you get another job. One that you love doing. Find it and go for it.
Woah sbhikes... I'm way more worried about you if that's your outlook. Being away from the trail after a thru-hike can be depressing at first, but what you're talking about is a bit more than that. ...
Originally, I was thinking more about the rep us hikers would get (we all get stereotyped sometimes), but Weary brought up some great points relating to the trail's existence itself. I'm going to...
As I hiked the Vermont Long Trail last spring, I ran into this girl named Kate (didn't have a trail name at that point). She packed a small guitar and played all sorts of folk and old rock. She was...
