Actually just to clear the air, I did not start the petition, just thought it would make good conversation on here. I'm not sure who started it, I was just browsing through them and came across it,...

Things happen when you hike. One hike I did, we got rained out, in a very dangerous thunderstorm/flash flood situation. Fair is overrated if a hiker knew how to make reservations ended up with some...

It's not necessarily in my opinion, about creating a backdoor for people to take advantage. In my opinion, it would be about giving those hikers on the trail a chance at a spot that is either closer,...

I wasn't stating expanding camp grounds, or making new ones, simply setting aside a few spots for hikers. I understand that this would make people unhappy, but everyone deserves a fair chance, even...

So I scrolling through petitions on wethepeople, and I found this one. What are your thoughts? I think they should set aside specific areas for this reason alone. Love to hear the replies, let me...

Thanks to all those who have come before me. Army, 2008-Present

Just wondering... Is there anyone out there with a drunk trail story? Please, do share....

Oh, ok, cause I was worried there for a second.....

Too funny....

I'm not entirely sure of how this works, forgive me, but can you pm more pics? It looks like a great idea. Right now I use an alcohol stove that I made out of a budweiser aluminium bottle, and a...

Remember, there is never a stupid question, especially when it comes to hiking. My wife who is fairly new to hiking asks "dumb" questions all the time. If you need info, the best thing to do is to...

First; How many hikes have you done? Were they daytrips, over nighters, or multi-day trips?
Second; Although I don't recommend it, they have vests for dogs to carry things like food and water. I...

This is all great insight. There are some things that i have my doubts making right now, like a sleeping bag for example, but I have faith in my wife and I. My mother, who sews for everybody and...

My wife come from a long background of sewers, so I don't think the pattern will be hard. As far as the proper materials, we've already found them, and it's just going to be cheaper to make...

Sorry, I meant affordable for my pay...lol

Oh yeah, my wife and I have a page on facebook that if anyone has any good advice, or just wants to get in touch with other hikers, is more than welcome to like, or post, or send a message. It is...

So I was researching ways to go lighter, with things such as bags, tents, sleeping bags, food, etc. and I came across this guy on YouTube ChemicalCraig. Apparently this guy decided that the market...

Too bad I learned that the hard way. I was wayyyy miserable that night. Totally worth it though!

I personally have proof my self, that even a skeptic had to admit was very moving. I was doing a hike in the only Tin Mines ever operated in the U.S., and since I like to research hikes, but never...

It's always important to have something between you and the ground. I wasn't a believer in even sleeping pads, but after a recent trip to the Lincoln National Forest, where it got down to 34 f, I...

I had a fording situation in my merrel's, I didn't even take my socks off, and it was about mid 50's high sixties, and my feet dried quick, never got cold, and never blistered. That's why I swear by...

I love you pics! What kind of camera do you use? I was looking into a DSLR for hiking, but my buddy said my Finepix s2800HD with a couple of lenses that I can add to it should do just fine, once I...

How heavy is that thing? I personally am thinking of going with a sil-nylon tarp with a drop cloth. I'm thinking of sewing in loops of cord on the two far sides and possibly making doors that go on...

Why do people get offended by such a simple question? If you don't believe in ghosts, and you don't have anything that adds intellectually to the conversation, then keep it to yourself. I personally...

I use hanes cotton ankle socks, with Merrel Plexus Chameleon tail runners... The only time I ever got a blister, is when I decided to hike for about 3 miles with no socks on. Yet my wife uses boots,...
