It's been a long while since I've made a post in here, and here's my 2cents.

I've considered going back on the AT if my job get's furloughed. My career is 100% travel and well...that's shot. So...

So work has brought me to the beautiful state of Maine. I'm in Bangor til Tuesday morning. I'm totally lost as to what to do up here? I've been told Acadia several times, is it good?

I'm a nature...

I learned in 2010...hiking with $2500 meant ramen every day every meal, and no trail towns.. definitely consider about $5k

Exactly my thoughts. I remember throughout my time in the USMC that we always field stripped our MRE. Take out the cardboard, all the stupid crap, and leave only the essentials. Even then..they are...

Do what my fiance did..buy a PLB.

I opened this looking forward to a banned notice...hehe

Holy crow...you can come visit me anytime you want. But dude, Nashville..we're like far away from the trail.

I have Bass Pro Shops Hybrid Pants/Shorts. Years ago they called them pants in a bag. They are like the REI Sahara pants, but they are water repellent and UV resistant. I can get them in light rain,...

Yep, can't say it works..Hopefully I never need to turn it on. But it passes its tests, and its ready to use should I need it. But from the 100% success rate of other PLB beacons, and the 100%...

+10 for sure. I wish that Olympus mentioned above ran off regular AA instead of stupid propietary ones. It's the only waterproof camera that's decent that I want. But alas..no luck yet.

I carry a...

I just wrap duct tape around my Gatorade bottles...

Personal Locater Beacon. The no monthly cost, military version of a SPOT. Unlike a SPOT, it has free worldwide coverage with guaranteed results under brush or even under ground to a certain point....

+1 for Sub Kilo. I have it. My favorite bag for almost 2yrs now. It's not good for large chested people or people who move around at night, its super tight. But its snuggly warm for me in the mid...

If I'm in a common well traveled area in a hiking season..I will carry water, snack food, appropriate clothes, cellphone or PLB.

If I'm in a remote area in hiking season, I carry Water, 1 MRE,...

Well I took my Zamberlain shoes back. Great, but they had a nasty pressure point on the top where the tongue comes in. I'm so lost with shoes. I think I'm going the Asolo route one last try. As for...

As I previously talked about, and because some may have doubted my sources since I work for Verizon Corporate...low and behold, officially today we publicly announced the removal of our new every...

Ugh..I had some saddening news come in today. The project I'm currently working ends at the end of February. That was the plan, knew that a while back. Perfect timing for a thru hike right? Well,...

If I'm home by then, I'll be there.

I'm an IT Engineer. I work in the field. I work projects, normally meaning no need for a mortgage or bills. Projects are easy to find, pay really well, and you keep moving.

Surprised that someone hasn't mentioned Shiba Inu yet. They were specifically bred for trekking the mountains of Japan, and love snowy hiking. Small, clean, obedient. Shiba's self clean, and rarely...

You all ready for this, I'm going to blow your mind! I'm a GIANT hypocrite from a few yrs ago. Read this news article..you know who Victor is? Ya, that's me. In the bottom picture, black shirt and...
