Hey Dawg. Several weeks ago i told my boss he sucked, quit, and now i'm about to go hike the AT!!!! You couldn't possibly burn your bridges any worse than I did. Just hang in there man - but one word...

Hey Dawg. Several weeks ago i told my boss he sucked, quit, and now i'm about to go hike the AT!!!! You couldn't possibly burn your bridges any worse than I did. Just hang in there man - but one word...
Hey A-Train. I'm hiking Flagg Mountain Alabama to Forillon park on the coast of Quebec. I leave to drive to the trailhead in 5.5 hours! Fortunately, my parents will be at the wheel so i can sleep. ...
Thanks Kerosene. I just went out and bought the Dana Designs Wet Rib you mentioned. Works perfect. Camera, maps, compass, and snacks all within easy reach.
If i just stand in my living room with...
Hey gang. I leave for my hike tomorrow (Nov. 6). Yippeeeeeeee!!!!!
I've gotten a lot of good advice on this forum and it has helped me wile away many many boring hours at work as I waited for this...
How about this. Instead of asking companies to sponsor your trip why don't you send them a letter that basically says this:
"My name is X. I am going to hike the A.T. If you find this...
I'm carrying a filter on my hike. But when the temperature plummets, rendering my filter useless, i'll rely on bleach. I was a bit sketchy about the idea of using regular chlorox bleach but i've seen...
There is no character assassination going on here. All I did is mention a factual experience I had on Wingfoot's site. I talked about a certain subject on his site (triple crown) and was informed...
dude - max patch. you're being totally unreasonable and you know it. This post came up and other posts talking about google searches and what comes up when one type "appalachian trail" into google....
I went to trailplace one. And on one of my posts i just mentioned that one day i would like to do the triple crown - complete all three of the major hikes in the US. Wingfoot sent me a message...
Maybe the bear was just trying to save the fawn ala Siegfried and Roy. :-)
Really, c'mon man. I'll buy that predation fulfills only a small part of a bear's diet, but to say that they are...
I'm confused smoky. I thought you've claimed many times that bears are not predators. This story seems to contradict that claim. Black bears attacking live deer - sounds predatory to me.
A healthy amount of fear of bears is a good thing. People like Treadwell who make films of himself "petting" wild bears and anthropomorphising them in various ways (talking to them, etc.), and guided...
I think the reason they're shy is because along the AT they've learned that we, humans, can kick the living bejeesus out of them because we've got these big loud bang sticks that hurt real bad and...
It just seems like common sense what iceman is saying. Sure, "Human + Gun = Human predator, bear prey". In that situation you're right Blue Jay. Humans are the predator. However, "Human + No Gun =...
I leave for my thru-hike in 5 weeks. Yahoooooooooooo! Man, I am so excited and about to pop w/ anticipation!
I just got my first pair of pants from this place:
www.beyondfleece.com
It's amazing. I've never had a piece of clothing that fit me *EXACTLY* right! This website lets you type in bunch of your...
www.beyondfleece.com - they will make you custom fitted fleece. You might check them out. I ordered a pair of soft-shell fleece pants from them and they're fantastic. It's amazing putting on a pair...
His book is definitely the most convenient guide. You've got a terse description of every shelter and town combined with the exact mileage. I have the data-book and the companion also, but in my...
I must say, the most recent edition of his guidebook seems extremely useful. I plan to take it on my thru-hike. That being said though, his website is quite bizarre. Entertaining actually. He seems...
I posted on a thread that I liked "Flyin' Brian" and had a lot of respect for triple crowners. I was informed that I was breaking the rules by promoting speed hiking and triple crowns. Those topics...
If i get hit by lightning, so be it. That's mother nature having her way with me. I wouldn't be angry at all if knocked off the trail because of that. But if I get shot by a hunter - yeah, i'm gonna...
I will certainly be wearing my orange hunting vest on my upcoming thru-hike. But that won't protect me from a "sound shot".
I'm not saying he shot her on purpose and i'm not saying hunters are an evil group of people. What I'm saying is that I do not understand why hunters, as a group, cannot amongst themselves say "Hey,...
I'm not sure what's more disturbing, to find out that the hunter was completely sober or drunk. Actually, that the young man was sober and conscientious is quite disturbing. If a sober and seemingly...
I just found out about this company yesterday:
www.beyondfleece.com
They make custom fit fleece clothing (soft shell stuff and all the other cool fabrics). On their website you give your exact...
