Hi C Seeker,
My friend and I are hiking SOBO and plan to be near Front Royal possibly this weekend or Monday. Are you still making your yard available?
Thank you!

Hey there, HikerMom,
My friend and I are also SOBO, holed up with friends near DC for the storm, but heading back to the trail at Harpers Ferry when we know what the situation is like. Any chance...
Thanks everybody! I appreciate the responses. I'll go check those links out, but I might not have the time or motivation to actually do it. I was curious, though...
Can anybody help me find the instructions for how this is done? I remember reading once that there had been such a thread/discussion, but I haven't found it yet in my search attempts.
Thank you!
...
In less than three weeks I'll be out there behind you. I'll look for your register entries. Nervous excitement is the perfect description for how I feel, too.
I understand the motivation as well. My friend is 38, same age as I am, and she hiked rim to rim in the Grand Canyon a few years back. A couple of years ago her scoliosis acted up and she had back...
I'm super excited and thanks for your comment. I know. I am a terrible dog owner for leaving my best friend behind with friends. I should be punished for not wanting the responsibility of dealing...
I had a similar experience with a couple of my first posts and I developed a very negative perception of the majority of WB based on that. However, I managed to stick around, partially because I...
Yes, they are, and they can also have false negative tests. I know a dog who had multiple false negatives over more than a year before he was finally diagnosed with Lyme. In the meantime, he was...
2011 thru-hiker Badger wrote a book called Appalachian Trials. His real name is Zach Davis. He has a whole section about life after a thru-hike. I highly recommend the book and believe it will not...
I'm a side sleeper, 220lbs and just got me a NeoAir All Season. It's a tad narrow for those times I do end up on my back, but my hip has never touched the ground yet. I love mine!
...
Thank you, everybody, and especially Judy (since it is your tent). I will go ahead and try Nature's Miracle or one of the enzyme treatments. I was worried I had already ruined the tent with the...
Please tell me that somebody out here knows how I can get that smell out. My tent is a LightHeart Gear Solo and the cat tagged it in several places. I assume this happened when I left it set up in my...
I don't mean to hijack the question, but my debate is whether to bring the wind/rain jacket for my thru-hike starting April 19th, and leave behind the wind shirt and poncho? Or vise versa? Seems the...
I'll be carrying a D5100 but I've been told I'm crazy. I just see the photography as more than half of my reason to be on a thru-hike. We'll see if I have to send home all my other gear in order to...
Okay, one more update now that all reservations are made and tickets purchased. If I update again it will be with a trail name.
Trail name: none yet
NOBO
Start April 19
No Approach Trail
I hiked in a skirt for the first time this weekend, over my shorts. It did well as a windbreaker and was particularly awesome for when I used the pstyle. Just turned my back to the most likely spot a...
+1 on the Pstyle, but you still have to drop your pants if you don't have a zipper unless they are loose enough to work with. Still it might help save the knees a bit with about half (?) the...
Thank you, even more.
+1 You are a man after my own heart.
He looks cute. Might be a big guy with the Mastif in him. It's hard to tell what the personality of a puppy will be until they're closer to adulthood, though. Most puppies are energetic, but then...
I think a mix would do better than one of the very thin coated breeds. The lack of a thicker coat actually might make them overheat more easily. Pitbulls are muscular and strong and can be energetic...
Thanks TOMP! I'll go look those up and I feel better about my tent now. Funny thing, I haven't set it up in my new, gravel yard because I didn't want to drive stakes through the landscaping plastic...
I love Pit Bulls and they do get an undeserved bad rap, however, even if you know the truth, that they are loving, loyal, protective dogs who will do anything you ask of them, other people don't...
I came to the UL Forum because I bought the LHG Solo tent in order to cut weight in my pack, and I'm very happy with it so far, but I'm a NOOB and am afraid I may come across times when a...
