Instead of total hip replacement, consult your surgeon about the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR). BHR is a much better alternative to total hip replacement. I had BHR done in January 2013.

Florida trail is your best bet for foot travel!

Dental Floss needs to be included. A dentist friend advised it is more important than the toothpaste. I take it out of the container and just cut it with my small knife. I agree ditch the deo,...

I have backpacked in Denali. You will love it. There is not a formal trail system so you need to have basic Land Nav skills. If you do not have these skills go get them and practice them using...

Check out the cycling section of REI or go to a local bike shop and checkout their selection of detachable arm sleeves. No need for velcro. I wear them all the time will winter cycling in SE GA.

Thanks to all. Sounds like I need to get copy of the AT Guide for the sections mentioned. I was thinking of making nice easy days of hiking and sightseeing. No more than 10 miles each day -...

I have heard there are some balds along the AT in the northern section of NC and the southern section of VA. Can anyone give me a good two or three night route in that area that would enable us to...

Just saw the subject thread. I do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread; however, I want to pass on the following. I recently completed a five-day Leave No Trace Master Educator...

I always fire the thermo-cell up while hunting Turkeys in SE GA. That is the only thing that stops the onslaught! I do have a hooded camo bug jacket from Cabelas that I use for Turkey Hunting;...

Met a guy by the trail name of Hawk at the Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega on 12-28. He had already hiked south from PA and was planning to leave from Springer on New Year's Day. He does not post...

Instead of a total hip replacement check into the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing. If you qualify it is a much better alternative. No restrictions. I had it done 2.5 years ago. I am in better shape...

I have to wonder how much mountaineering experience they have. One article mentioned they had extensive experience because they spent three weeks on the PCT last year. Nothing against the ladies...

I am actually going out to climb Mt. Adams. Haven't considered Mt. St. Helens. I will check it out. I was hoping to find an easy route to do on the PCT with my fiance. Not interested in big...

I will be staying near The Dalles in OR, during the first part of September. I hope to have time for a quick overnighter or possible two nights out. Looking for recommendations. Thanks!

Try looking at the Sierra Designs Convertible Tent. Mine is at least 10 years old. I think there are several different models that have been produced over the years. It has zippered ventilation in...

The "go-light" mantra can get alot of folks in trouble in late winter and early spring on the AT in the SE. I have hiked through the Smokies in February wearing snowshoes. I have to wonder about...

I thought I would weigh in on this conversation since I have have versions of it many times with various people. I think the type of camera you carry should be determined by what you plan to do with...

Any recommendations on boots for such a trip? My Scarpa Invernos (Double plastic mt boots) are probably way overkill. I have a pair of older Lowa goretex boots. Would they work?

After many years of weighlifting, running and mountaineering, I started experiencing a shooting pain in my left hip. A chiropractor told me it was an IT band problem. Eventually I went to an...

Has anyone had a snake slither in with them? SE GA is full of Eastern Diamond Backs and cottonmouths. Sometimes I get to thinking about that while I sleep under my tarp!

I am thinking of doing a winter hike/camping trip in the Mt. Mitchell area. My goal is to wait for a really cold weekend and incorporate a summit of Mt. Mitchell into my hike. I was thinking of...

I recommend the Illinois River to River Trail. Not sure how you can do a loop but it is mostly National Forest Land with little to no restrictions on dogs.

I would not carry a fleece blanket. If you have a down sweater simply zip it up over the bottom of your bag or take your fleece and pull it over the bottom of the bag. Wearing a stocking cap will...
