    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    I have always carried one, but never really needed it on the AT. I have on other trials though.

    Yes, and they are right on what works for them. When it provides value is when they explain why, and then you can compare and decide what you want to try. HYOH.

    MM, great story, the best is that he honest with himself. There is always hope in a case like that.

    MM, with 3 Boy Scouts sons and years as a leader I read/heard several times about mole skin being in your first aid kit. Was not until I was on the AT the I ever had the need for it, and boy was I grateful at that time for "Be Prepared".

    I have to wonder what happens to the "the trail is well marked and you only need the guidebook" crowd if an when they try to hike anywhere besides the A.T.
    The AT is like the interstate, where other trails I have been on are more like county roads and state highways. They require a lot more tools (map, gps, etc..) unless you are really familiar with them.

    To a point - you are right. HYOH as long as you don't drag others into your problems. If you get lost and haul out the phone and activate a SAR team, or something like that, HYOH no longer applies, IMHO.
