congrats man, did you stick through with the minimalist footwear?!
I'm almost disgusted to find that no one carries cholula - the ultimate spice combo! I was happy thought that someone mentioned texas pete, thats the only thing the navy gives us on these tin cans!
wow, seems like the word on ULA is unanimous. I typically drive up to Ohio when I go home for the holidays, so I'll attempt to pass by Neel's Gap on my way up and try to get fitted. I'm quite...
I stumbled upon ULA again in another post, so I moved them up (actually to the top) of my list, the reviews and pictures on backpackergeartest.com were excellent in regards to giving good perception...
@swjohnsey: that bag looks nice but its quite a bit outside what I'm looking to spend for gear. I settled with the GoLite 3-season quilt and I'll settle on a pad sometime tomorrow.
I contacted...
WOO solves it again! lol I just bought a golite 3 season quilt and I'm really excited to try it out. I'm still on deployment, but I'll be returning home in Dec and driving up to Ohio to retrieve it...
Because the air force recruiter, after noticing my dreadlocks, birkenstocks, and bob marley t-shirt, thought I wouldn't pass a drug test...the navy didn't care :P
There have been a lot of conflicting ideologies coming from different friends and family members, but after sitting staring at gray walls all day deployment after deployment dreaming about the trail...
I'm bumping this thread since I'm waiting on word on a possible opportunity to get out mid-march next year.
Does anyone have anything negative to say about the quilts? I sleep in a sleeping bag...
They allowed me to enjoy the trail while I've been deployed, that young woman appears to be able to kick my ass on (or off) the trail any day. I've been curious as to the kind of comments he got on...
I'm seriously considering it. However my contract with the Navy doesn't end until August. I'm hoping I can get at least a three month cutt of of it. I hope I can get 6, that'd be swell. If you want,...
When I clicked on this link all I could think of as a response is "well, eat it"
I recommend reading Born to Run. I know there are people against it, but its out there and its all valid data and examples.
I hated running, I started slowly with my minimalist shoes (Merrel Trail...
like WIAPilot just said:
I'll be 24, just got finished with my 6 year contract with the Navy. I paid my car off the within 24 months as a deployment present, the biggest thing I own is a queen...
She sounds like an angel in my opinion. I can't get my mom to go to the blessed park, let alone meet me in the mountains for a celebration!
Is she looking for an adopted child?
I think we're all forgetting the ever so impressionable: HYOH. For instance, I was raised in Ohio and I live in Florida, both of which are drenched in those ****ing bugs. I ****ing hate mosquitos, it...
we started a deployment june 29th, so in typical navy fashion if you aren't on watch you're sleeping. and sleep I did and when I wasn't sleeping I was reading AT journals in my rack.
I'm more of a lurker here and a meticulous planner for the next year or two before I can actually get out on the AT. I've still got a year on my contract before I can get out of the Navy so I'm...
I'm very found of reading journals on trailjournals.com
if you need assistance with wordpress, just shoot me a holler. been using the software for years
lets say someone had a degree in mathematics/computer science but would rather spend all day hiking, would you have a position for them?
I'm frugal as well, which is why i've been trying to piece together figures as much as possible. however i think a big part of this is what food you're into and willing to pay for. in the military...
Yeah, my buddy and I are going to be getting out of the Navy around the mid-end of November, we're stationed over here Jacksonville. We're taking the time during this next deployment and the time...
Thanks for that list WOO, in on this thread for all intensive future purposes.
I pack a lot of tuna packets with me when our ship goes out to sea, and I plan on bringing around 75lbs of it for...
thanks for the word on maildrops bigcranky, I've heard a lot of opinions on both and looking at shipping prices I'd go ahead and put together a few numbers that would probably prove that even a few...
sorry for the double post, government internet is pre-56k apparently
