and wandered in the dark?
Does anybody know--why do gnats dive for your eyes, ears, or nose? Are they looking for

Just a suggestion-- what if-- she walked off trail to go to the bathroom--finished her business--then instead of
walking back to the at, she became confused and actually walked away from the at?
I just heard that Trail Days had been called off due to lack of interest. Do you think that
it would be worth showing up in Damascus--anyhow?
Directions on package say to add the hot water and let "simmer" in a sock for about 7-10 minutes. I find that I need to leave MH in the sock for at least 20 minutes to get a good meal. Anybody got...
Standard advice is to make the pack the last piece of gear that you purchase. Load up all your "stuff" that you
intend to put in your pack and take it all to an outfitter. Only way to find out if...
How much Gatorade or Propel would you have to consume--per liter of water--to keep the electrolytes

Got a case of crotch rot once that was so bad that amputation with a chain saw seemed like a possible
solution. Happened early in the hike so that I wasn't packing any of the suggested remedies or...
While we are talking about sleeping in the cold, can some one clear up an "issue" for me? I've always understood that in cold weather, one should sleep in the sleeping bag--assuming it is properlyy...
I have a Big Agnes Seed House 2 with footprint for sale for $200 shipped. The reason that I'm selling this tent

Just wondering if she has to be alive for it to count?
Do you have a Dollar General store close by? They generally have Croc knock-offs for $8-9. Crocs are usually

As was mentioned earlier, if your pack still will not fit in your tent, then slip a heavy duty trash bag over the pack

+1 Suspenders ! What happens is that you lose so much weight that you end up hiking with one

The persimmon trees in this part of the state are just covered in fruit--and we haven't even had
