My Dad is on the trail right now and last night he was around Blue Mtn shelter in Georgia and he heard there was a tornado nearby. Apparently pretty bad lightning and lots of trees/branches down...

Recompress is totally right on. Getting used to the people, noise, traffic, and the resulting anxiety took a couple weeks. Getting used to working everyday, stress, and living in society is still...

Hey all! I'm trying to get the full name and addresses for the following three people:

1. The Mayor's house (Dick Ludwick?) - Unionville NY

2. The birdcage- Dalton, Massachusettes

3. Chet's...

The Hiker Hostel- Josh and Leigh are awesome and the hostel is so clean!
Kincorra because of Bob Peoples and Hardcore. Lovely waterfall nearby that Bob will tell you how to find.
Mountain Harbour-...

I used three pair of Vasque Blur trail runners.

I started March 23rd and was just north of Duncannon.

Thats cool- when I was picked up there in 05' it wasn't a problem- but I ended up hiking out to the pavement because it was raining, I was cold and sick of waiting. In 06' I was dropped off there to...

try on both a small and a medium waistbelt. If you go with one of the heavier osprey packs like the ariel, you can get a small pack (torso) and a medium belt. You can't do that with their lighter...

Hitchhiking probably could be avoiding with some extra planning along the way, but you never know what might happen that will make you want to hitch to town. Usually you will be able to hitch in with...

I used the Osprey Talon 44 on my thru-hike. It isn't women's specific, but it is one of their lightest packs and it worked great. The women's specific packs really only change the shoulder straps and...

My first hike on the AT was a Georgia Thru-hike. It was great, but I'm warning you, you might fall in love with the trail and be forced to thru-hike it later! Anyways, when I did just Georgia I hiked...

He finished. Let me know if you want his contact info.

I wouldn't worry about it. I wasn't carrying an extra 40 lbs, but I sure couldn't run 3 miles or even one before I started my thru hike. I don't think its so much about the fat as about determination...

I'm using the Olympus Stylus camera. Mine is a 7mp but they probably will have a higher mp camera by the time you start. I love it out here because it is waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof, and...

I've been using the hyperflow on my thru hike for the last month or so. I'm still undecided about it. At first it was awesome. It filtered water faster than people could use aqua mira, steripen or...

Does anyone know if the Hazel Creek Outfitters in Fontana Dam holds maildrops? Who else besides the hike inn and post office will hold them?

I LOVE honey teddy grahams in my gorp. (those little bear shaped cookies) They are awesome in gorp.r

REI will be selling it, MSR hasn't shipped it to REI yet so its not on the website for sale.

Has anyone thru-hiked with the stove? How easy is it to get feul along the way?

Edward Abbey would be an interesting dude to hike with.

My friend knows a guy who is a 'survivalist' that claims to have hiked the whole AT by living off the the trail only. He lives in one of the Carolinas and teaches wilderness survival, hunting,...

I wasn't very clear before. I have an olympus stylus 790sw- the bombproof one. The charger for this camera is huge and i don't want to use a bounce box. I was thinking about carrying extra batteries...

This seems like its been a popular camera with hikers. I was wondering what people have decided to do about charging its battery? The charger it comes with is exceedingly large.

I know there are other Hennessey hammocks besides that one FD mentioned. I believe that there is a backpacker one too and maybe another. If your REI doesn't have it and it isn't online then go to the...

Do waterproof compression sacks actually work? Anyone used one? Thoughts?
