Some grizzlies weigh in at 1,500 pounds in coastal Alaska. They make Rockies bears look puny.

At least its a dry cold in central AK, not like the clammy wet cold you have on the AT. Hope you're having a good time, take some pics and post em here.

Also dude you need to change the location...

At 8.5 ounces, that's a contender for sure.

At least the dog poop won't stink if it freezes instantly. Enjoy it, SMS. Give us an update when you get to that on-grid library.

Guess who has the lowest divorce rate? Ultraliberal Massachussets.

Old gear. 1960s longboards. They were good stuff but I'm not sure I'd want to carry around a 2 pound stove for nostalgia's sake.

How is smokymtnsteve going to survive in a cabin in the Alaska outback without free trade organic peruvian and fresh bean sprouts every day? :-?

Whats the weight of a sweet setup like that?

Has anyone ever had a mouse or bear go after their toothpaste?

A thread may die, but Wingfoot cannot. 100 years from now, hikers will still be debating Wingfoot the way students today debate theories of other great philosophers.

It will change your wife.

Wookie are you and I.M. still on the coast trail? Read your post earlier about catching some waves on the Northcoast. Hope you didn't break your head on a rock!

Right now I'm following Tha Wookie's journal of his West Coast Trail hike. Him and Island Mama started at the tip of NW Washington June 5, and they should be somewhere around the Bay Area now. ...

And what about all that exhaust pollution from your support team's...

C'mon chameleons, quit dodging the point. I'm talking about pink socked, prancing ninnies who don't carry a backpack.

Listen here you SUV suckin, Twinkie-toed lightweight, you either carry your weight or ride in freight.

I read some comments about slackpackers with "support teams" doing the AT in record times. In my mind these ninnies are not real thruhikers by any stretch of the imagination, and cannot lay claim to...

I thought TP meant toilet paper. Toilet paper links? :-? :rolleyes:
