Thanks for all the good feedback. Just what I was looking for!

I've been fortunate in that the complete ACL tear was the only injury (well, a bruised tibia where bones collided). All else is...

I'm looking for suggestions for knee braces for hiking. Anybody have a favorite?

After hiking on the AT this summer without any significant injury, within a few days of returning...

Watched the same video, didn't see the boots either!

I hiked for a few weeks on the AT with Vasque Women's Breeze 2.0 GTX, and while they came highly recommended, they just weren't for me. Could...

Tom Johnson in Front Royal, VA is in the process of writing a book on the history of the AT. I got a shuttle from his wife Sharon and stayed at their house. You might want to contact him:...

I just finished a section hike in Virginia with my dog, and English Springer Spaniel, 43-lbs. We used an REI Dash 2 http://www.rei.com/product/862419/rei-dash-2-tent
Really liked the tent and it...

Thanks, but already made too many arrangements to divert from starting in Catawba. Enjoy your hike!

Is the Silnylon Stuff Sack waterproof? Will you use that alone or put your bag in another dry bag?

Looking for someone to start the AT with me at Catawba, May 4th. Hiking buddies I thought I would have had to cancel. Would really like to have a hiking partner for the first day/night. Just going...

Did you get it? What do you think?

Thanks for the responses. Yes, he swims a lot but the water doesn't seem to get thru to his skin. Good point, he'll probably be okay then as long as we're hiking, and I do have something to dry him...

My dog is a water dog (English Springer Spaniel), but I can see if there are hellacious thunderstorms and days on end of rain, that he might need some protection. Anybody have experience with this?...

I had the Big Agnes Fly Creek UL 2 (for me and my dog). I'm not a big fan either. The tent I got had a small hole in it, so I returned it. I found the walls sloping in made the tent feel very...

Very nice workmanship. You'll see. I was impressed with how easy it was to pull/open the drawstring at the bottom and convert between a mummy and a quilt. Also impressed with how light it was. And...

Got it! I ordered Inside Fabric Color: Coyote, Outside Fabric Color: Sunrise. I have to say, it looks a bit like a pumpkin! I might have made different color choices if I'd been able to see the...

Yes, I seem to remember that too. My order date was March 3rd. My order went from "Awaiting Fulfillment" to "Shipped" within a day it seemed. I don't remember an in-between status. They also knew...

After a month of waiting, got the exciting news that my EE Revelation 30 has shipped!! Wahoo! Should have it soon.

I did, in fact, get Musher's Secret as well. Haven't tried it yet. The booties are a backup if something happens and he needs extra protection. Hadn't planned to have him wear them daily. We've...

After reading thru this thread, I decided to go with an Exped SynMat UL 7 Air Pad and got the Exped Schnozzle Pumpbag. I love this pad! It's such a huge improvement over my old Thermarest. Temps...

I got dog booties for my dog, Cisco, in preparation for our hike on the Appalachian Trail. It's a backup plan, in case he has any paw problems and needs a little extra protection. There's a front...

My dog is trained with the “place” command too, but I’ve not used it for an extended stay. That’s a good idea to keep him from visiting people too much. He’s a very social dog and like to greet...

I got my dog a Ruffwear Approach. http://www.ruffwear.com/Approach-Pack-Dog-Pack
A local outfitter thought he would take a medium--he's a 43-lb Springer Spaniel--but actually when I measured him,...

That's all pretty interesting. I was wondering how you knew that you consumed an average of 3258 cal per day, then saw
"I always wore a Polar F7 heart rate monitor (chest strap and watch combo)...

Connie, that was a good suggestion. I did that, searching on calories for women athletes, and found a couple of sources that gave me results that were very much the same.

Source 1: said...

I'd tend to think the data in the Nutribase reflects more of what is true for men, and not likely for women. It's why I posted this in the Women's Forum, hoping someone had come across data that was...

Thanks for the effort you put into this. My observation when using the Expanded Nutribase table for activities is that it's based solely on weight, and does not take into account what might be...
