"realistically"? your gonna pig out in town.
I used it on the PCT, and it was fine. It seemed to use batteries faster and faster. Other steripem users said the same thing. Mine used the sometimes tough to find cr-123 batteries, which can also...
Maine was my favorite state. It is very challenging, and will wear you out. I wouldn't call it dangerous. There's some spots where you need to focus on what you are doing, but no need to be...
You'll meet up with people guaranteed. No problem. Just head out there(really) and it will happen automatically. You will be able to pick and choose,without feeling awkward like you might if you...
I meant that to some degree, you will often see people correct their behavior. Sometimes it's enough to have other hikers in the vicinity to call them out on their B.S. I'm not talking about serious...
I seem to have inserted part of my comment into Jack's. Where it reads "yep, the wrong facts don't serve any good purpose. Too easy for that to happen", was my comment, not Jack's Sorry, Jack.
yep, the wrong facts don't serve any good purpose. Too easy for that to happen.
There are authorities out there, and I think often, the trail is somewhat self-policing. Jack's post...
I know that when I was on the trail, somebody got me confused with somebody else on the trail, and it created a few awkward moments. I heard some interesting stories about things I had done; they...
I've also found there is often a misconception that the Northeast is just a big city. New York, for example, is a decent size state; only a small portion of it being city. However, doesn't seem to...
Definitely NOT a stoner.........:-?
Is that a joke? Granted, sleeping in a shelter is a crapshoot, but snoring is no different then excessive farting, talking loud/late, music, cellphones, or anything else you know interferes with...
Why? You gonna lump 'em up? Show them your brand of trail angel-ing?
Way to be a trooper. Sorry to hear about your injury, but s*%t happens. I broke some bones in my foot years ago, and it felt better in about 3-4 wks. Be safe though; you don't want to aggravate it.
I find it true for me anyway. Your ankles get pretty strong, and with less weight, you're less likely to roll them. I think you automatically watch your step a little more, too.
Not that bad. You will learn to identify passes. (it's the low spot between the peaks). Learn to read a topo map. The trail is often buried in the snow, however most of the time other hikers have...
The horse manure is pretty bad, especially when it rains. Nope, that ain't ankle-deep MUD. In cities, they have a little bag hooked up. Wonder why people can't use one of those and dump it off the...
I would think it would be hot and chafe my arms unless I moved in an unnatural way. I use packs that allow me to reach the side pocket where I keep some snacks. I also take my pack off periodically...
I hiked in '08 and heard about that. Some people bashed you guys "that's not a thru, they can't say they DID the trail"; I think it's awesome, and will do it myself the next time around. What a great...

cheese will last just fine. not an issue.
Al Roker and Abe Vigoda yo-yoed together.
Doesn't get much better than that.:sun
Good luck sobos! yer gonna love it!
KEEP SOME DRY STUFF IN YOUR PACK! save a set for just sleeping in. put your wet clothes on again in the A.M. if its still raining. I know, it's not fun, but once you get moving it's ok. that's about...
