Yeah, that's what I figured. I washed them and I'm letting them dry right now.. but usually even after this process, they're really hard to adjust. I remember a time where they slid nice and...

Also note that it's not hard to adjust due to overtight speedlocks, which I thought could have been the case, but I loosened them and it was still hard to adjust.

(You've been informed/warned: This probably is going to seem like a neophyte question to some of you)

I have a pair of Leki Cressida poles that I've been using for about two to three years now....

I've hiked in everything from Men's synthetic boxers to a boy's swim trunks...to short shorts from walmart to spandex capris to regular old gym shorts. Honestly, having material between my thighs was...

It may seem like extra work, but I've actually found that using that cup is less work than tampons. When you're not using it, it's one permanent item in your pack. If you're using it...well, it's...

I'm starting with my Sable this year. Though, my intentions are not necessarily to thru-hike, we're stepping foot on Springer and after that, my only intentions are to be in the woods with my dog....

I used the Diva cup on my hike. I use it at home, too. I think it's great - and it's not that I didn't want to pack out tampons, it's that I don't like using tampons at all. Or pads...I've never been...

I agree that the desire to eat food is very strong. Stronger than I have ever imagined it could be. All of a sudden, you become this machine that just hounds down food...your stomach turns into an...

Hey, I'm heading to GA for Springer fever this year. My definite date is not set because I'm still trying to figure out transportation. Ideally, mid to late March...but that's all subject to when &...

I'm a 20 year old female, starting on Springer this year, also with my dog, around Mid to late March. Keep me posted about your starting date. My trail name is "Owf", so if you see me in the register...

He is SO cute. MMM I just want to hug and kiss that happy face! (Maybe not kiss..due to the poop thing, I just remembered that haha)

Thanks for the link to that Honest Kitchen..price sounds much better! (Phew, lol!)

I saw that as soon as I posted this..I think I'm going to mix it with normal dry dog food, so he'll still have to carry about half as much weight as normal. Every time I stop in town, I'm going to...

Deadeye, that's a great suggestion. As for the way that I'm setting up now, the fly is attached to the hammock, it may help if I move it higher. Monkeywrench, I do lay diagonally..and that does help,...

I'd say that hiking up Blood Mountain in GA was my best experience...all of the hikers I was hiking with had been dreading this climb. They had an elevation map, and kept staring at it and...

Hello Hangers :) I've got a Hennessey Hammock, and I've watched all of their videos on set-up...I've tried different techniques, but it seams that every time I set up my hammock, it looks just fine...

So I went to my local feed store and discovered this dog food. Here's the link:

It's a raw-food freeze-dried diet, so it's...

Here is Sable, I picked him up at the local pound a little over a month ago...he shows HUGE hiking potential. The woods are his favorite place to be, and I just bought him a pack...

Wow, perfect..that's exactly when I told my boss I'd be leaving haha, thank you :)

Hey, my goal for this upcoming end of summer/fall is to do a section hike from Vermont to Maine. What I was wondering is...when would the best time to do this section be? I was hoping to fall in...

Hey mari, I'll be on the opposite end of the trail this year (section hike from VT to ME), so I probably won't see you out there. As for your questions...(1) June is a tad late...the most popular...

Well, I'm glad that nobody has posted a bad review yet.. :)

Cedar Tree, thanks for the offer, but I think that I am going to invest in this tent through REI, so that if I end up disliking it, I'm...

Phew, I'm only 5'4 and 125lbs, so this tent should be plenty roomy. I was contemplating using a hammock...what made you switch to a tent after trying a hammock? I've never used a hammock...

Hey, I was contemplating buying the Flycreek UL1, mostly because of its super light weight (it's just around 2lbs). From my experiences, I've seen a lot of hikers using this tent (that's got to...
