where you been hikin?
Not in the traditional sense at least. Whatever his reasons for not going through with it this year, the OP was definitely planning to hike. Nice guy as well. Went out of his way to meet me one day to give me a replacement valve for my Big Agnes air mattress that he had a spare for.

Funny, I thought drapac was referring to hokie. :)
Could be. Hadn't considered that possibility till you mentioned it.
Dude, stop being so hard on yourself.

No, not trolling. I am a combat vet and wanted to join/meet LL for a hike. I went to school in BBurg and if he's hiking in that area, then I'd try to link up someday.
Wife and I were loading everything up in my Excursion to head down to GA. and then an hour later... we weren't.
We were going over the last of the things before we left and started loading everything into my pack. Everything fit well, but then we noticed the food bag had never been put in. There was no room for it. My 65L pack was full and the food didn't fit.
That was when we stopped, we just sat there not knowing what we had done wrong. Eventually we just said to each other "We've messed something up somehow" and then admitted that we might not be ready to do this. Even if my food bag fit there was still the issue of there not being enough room for my little pup for when she can't walk (rain, snow, rocks).
So it is with that I have to quit. If I can't figure out how to pack my pack then I'm a failure and can't go. No idea where to go from here, this is really killing me :(
