Since the Exos has a fixed suspension, you may find that to be the problem. If you are having to pull the load lifters all the way forward, then there is definitely a fit issue. It could be that your...
I love the simplicity and the versatility of a tarp. However, I'm a big guy with broad shoulders. Sleeping in colder weather or bug season in a bivvy doesn't work for me. So, if in bug season, I have...
You'll be surprised. They work pretty well.
Longhiker -
Get to an REI store. There are two in New Jersey. East Hanover and Marlton. Take your current pack/s with you. They will help.
Second, I find it hard to believe the pack itself...
Every pack fits the body different, and everybody can't where the same pack.
I fit packs professionally. Generally speaking for the shoulders, you should be feeling pressure at the front of the...
Meadowlark - I'm posting this without reading any of the other responses because I had a similar experience with my wife.
Quite simply it starts by communicating honestly and ensuring your spouse...
I would agree with that. I've spent more time in the southern 100 and the Whites than anywhere and in all the shuttling we've done for free, "eccentricity" really comes alive with folks my age or...
I could agree with it being fun, but a couple of folks have pointed out on their blog that it's illegal. In most national forests, recreation areas, etc, it is indeed illegal unless they are...
You're welcome!
I find this whole concept damned funny. Seriously putting the other stuff aside, as hikers, I want to see them succeed. As for the documentary, it's something I personally wouldn't watch as I have no...
LOL - I'll second that one ;) Drinking a quart of water in the morning and then attempting to chow down powdered eggs as part of your breakfast... not a good idea! A few Immodium tabs and even some...
My daughter did a great review of Hawk Vittles on her website - www.practicaltrailcooking.com
The best thing I like about his meals are that they are not assembled from other ingredients like the...
On the same token, as an older male, I've dealt with younger women who seem to think I'm "Old" and they can do or act in whatever manner they wish. Noisy, disrespectful language, using the word...
I also wanted to mention, I'm a filter guy. I just like the taste better. BUT, I always carry Potable Aqua as a backup. I've been out on the trail before and had a water filter handle break so it was...
Don't discount the Body Glide. First, alot of hikers have problems with chafing, for alot of reasons, usually in the first few weeks. I always do, especially if I'm in constant rain and wet for...
Cortisone is essentially an anti inflammatory. In 2007 I did soemthign funky in my knee and got a couple of injections over the summer. It eventually healed and all was right with the world.
Some...
I really don't think that would be a fair way to assess it either. When you work with the public, AND you CHOOSE to work with the public then it is your responsibility to try and put on the best face...
Another WB member took the time to contact me via PM and offered some knowledge about UJ's past endeavors. Which helped.
My largest concern personally is that I have him on my list to stop at and...
I really don't agree with how the OP started this topic, BUT, I want to point out that in AT Troll's Trail Journal from April 30, the shuttle driver was apparently stricken with the same sort of...
That's an incorrect analogy of my statement. I can AND do go hiking without my phone on many occasions. However, as I have pointed out in my original post, my phone is more than a phone and I enjoy...
You post a question which invites discussion, then you retort with some silly smart aleck comment?
This is pretty much inline with my last post about how people's experiences get ruined.
It's illegal in almost all national forests, recreation areas etc. Not to mention, it can get bears killed. Period.
It was simply an irresponsible thing to do, done by "A Lawyer, An Ivy Grad, and...
Not everyone who hikes or backpacks is looking for an escape though. Living in the digital world means balance. You have to find balance with nature and your personal life. I go backpacking to enjoy...
My blackberry 8530, with extra capacity batts, couple of different micro SD cards does the following items:
