I worked as a Forensic Nurse for 22 years. I agree with you. Part of my teams job was to evaluate mental status. It is amazing how sane our clients act for short periods of time. They will always...

Please, do not set up your tent inside the shelters. I hope you enjoy your hike.

Thank you pafarmboy.

I hang and I assure you most hangers are considerate and practice LNT. Please visit hammock forums and go to the outing planning and trip report section. You will see many hammocks hung correctly. I...

On my first section hike, I started the approach trail, skipping the stairs, in a storm. I finished 5 days later in the rain. It rained the whole hike. This is very much a personal decision. Good...

This is worth bringing up again. Many people will start their hike this year and many of them may not know this information.

A couple of good loops at https://www.floridastateparks.org/park/Torreya. These trails are the closest thing to match the AT in Florida. You can do these trails at Torreya almost any time and then...

Found this in our local grocery. Combine a pack of Lance Toast Chee crackers (220 Cal) and a pack of Spam Snacks (220 Cal) you have a nice light weight snack with fat and protein. I purchased...

Very good post. While you are greeting these new thru hikers are you asking them if they are White Blaze members or at least if they visit the forum or other forums concerning hiking the AT. I would...

It is amazing this discussion has continued on as long as it has. During the summer months there are days when the traffic is bumper to bumper for miles and hours with every overlook parking lot...

I think you are a little far north to catch many. Try anywhere between Woody Gap, Georgia and just south of the GSMP. Just my thoughts.

I think the problem is folks just do not do the proper research. Here on WB you will see folks post they are going to start their hikes in two or three years. These folks will do the research and...

I have hiked between Franklin, NC and Springer Mountain, Georgia, between May and October for years. I have never used a bug net in that area. I do have one, but it is just extra weight. I do...

DavidNH, I wish to invite you to come visit sometime. The south has the friendliest and kindest people you will come in contact with. Some of us are fat and some of us are thin, but most are good tax...

+1 on Torreya SP. I live about twenty miles from Torreya SP and use it before my section hikes on the AT. The park offers the closest hike we have in Florida to what you will find on the AT. The...

I love it! Have fun.

Jerks are a dime a dozen. Get out there and hike, but do not overdo it. I am on the fat side and I will never forget the look on afew hikers faces when my grandson and I met them just north of...

+1 On your statement. The one thing I learned about WB over the years is that you have to have tough skin. Some feel if you can't hike 30 miles a day with a 5 pound pack you are not a real hiker....

I have driven right up to Blue Ridge Gap and parked my Outback twice this past year. The road was repaired last summer, but I would check with the Forest Service on it's condition now. For years it...

+ 1 on all Bigcranky posted above. My first section was from Amicalola State Park to Neel Gap. Our truck was left at the park and was safe the whole time. The only problem was it rained the whole...

One thing you will learn about most grit eaters and that iswe have the ability to laugh at ourselves. We also don’t go all crazy when northerners make nasty jokes about our grits. I hope we never...
