Food just takes up weight and space but look for foods with the higher fat and protein content and try to plan for more frequent food resupply. I also buy olive oil for myself when stocking up. I...
Sorry I don't have any pictures of the natural spots. Those blue blazes that are tagged are usually along the AT at water or shelter junctions.
I also heard from a friend that he tagged a rock at...
Oh, and I don't know of anyone saying anything to him but I know a lot of people plan on it.
Fun fact, he almost never signs shelter logs or trail logs so he's kinda tough to track.

Presumably what he's doing is illegal and that means that some sort of penalty is in place for it. Whether or not something is done is a different matter, but something can be done.

I can't post pictures from my phone but if somebody wants a buttload just give me your email address. Maybe you can post them for us. Also it may be hard for me to call when they're open as I'm not...
The title says it all. Chopsticks is tagging EVERYTHING out here. Signs, fence posts, shelters, and tables. Natural spots like rocks, trees, and even beauty spots like Angel's Rest.
It drives me...
I got the the Roll Top Blast Food Bag from ZPacks. I tired using smaller bags but once I actually got all my food packed up I realized that I'd like more room for it. I'd suggest prepping your food...
I got one too and I love it!
This is my fourth iPhone (1 was stolen and 2 got wet) and also my GPS, camera, notepad, and blogging comp for the trail. I love the fact that I can pull out my phone...

Bruce loves to party!
Scratch that. I realized it's not easily accessible so I set up www.nickandbruce.blogspot.com
Are those temp measurements taken on the top of Springer or are those taken at the nearest town? Usually those numbers are based off the nearest town.
I'll be starting on the 15th also. Are you going to do the approach trail too?
I dropped my buddy off and hiked the approach trail with him last year staying overnight from 3/31 to 4/1 and that...
I got one of these and I'm stoked to take it on my thru! I haven't had a chance to test it but I'm confident it will be perfect based on my buddy's recomendation.
As far as the lack of hand...
If your dog is tired you should stop. If your dog is getting overheated or the trail is tough, carry its pack. If it's limping take a day off.
You should be able to tell when your dog is tired,...

Here's another vote for the Palisades.
I got one recently for my 60 lb pup and it's holding up great through our local hikes in prep for our thru this year. It has a well designed harness that...
Really dude?
I'll be posting updates for my friends and family via instagram.
I figure I can upload a picture with a description and a geotag for my location and that should satisfy most of my communicative...
A smart phone could be a lighter option if you consider its weight vs a phone + gps + MP3 Player + camera + etc... You could even use it to replace a notepad/journal and books as mentioned earlier....
Dude, I'm 26 and live in Tampa. Leaving town on the 14th, hiking springer on the 15th. You'll probably end up catching up to me and my dog since I plan on taking it slow at the start.
If you plan to take your dog hiking I think its a good idea to take your dog to the dog park or even downtown several times so that it can be acclimated to strangers. Socializing your dog is...
Slightly off topic:
I have a LHG Duo that I had seam sealed by them and I just wanted to chime in and say I'm thrilled with the quality of the tent!
