Hi all! I'm a somewhat new (hasn't been quite a year yet) and somewhat actively inactive member here. I tend to lurk and read a lot but not post very often. I've sectioned all of GA just not at one...

180 Degrees South stays in our Netflix queue. I watched Ride the Divide a while back and then watched it again with my husband. Sometimes we both have those nights where we just need to escape from...

I had to quit caffeine cold turkey when I was a teenager. I started having severe heart palpitations and fainting spells. After every medical test known to man, months of food diaries, bashing my...

I'm not a regular contributor here, more of a lurker (which I've always thought sounded a little creepy). In the spirit of adding unecessary information, I will say that the threads of late like this...

Simple. My husband is more than a foot taller than me and doesn't like walking behind me anyway. He occasionally does a funny dance and makes noises about spider webs. I have no such problems with...

I don't road cycle but I do mountain bike and have a fluid trainer set up in my living room for those days I just can't get away. I can't definitively say that it has or hasn't helped with hiking....

I make them at home casserole style with brown rice, cooked in chicken stock then sprinkled with cheese. It could easily be done at a boil in a pot if needed, just might be soupier. A bullion cube...

My husband and I usually stay together (at least within a sight of each other) but we still carry the basics (first aid, clothing, water, some food) in our individual packs. We have a 2P Nemo Tent...

Take it as a negative comment if you will but dogs need to be leashed on the trail. Is it inconvenient? Yes. So is owning a dog.

The best trained dog might obey 99% of the time but do you really...

LOL! I do in fact have some of the BIG CD's. I even have a BIG CD player to listen to them on. I just had a conversation with someone a few days ago about "kids these days" not having any clue what...

If I'm not carrying one of the small rolls, then I just wrap it around itself like someone else said. There are so many little self-wrapped rolls of DT in this house. I just randomly find them all...

The age restriction is hidden on the application. I'm glad you found something for your son and hopefully he will learn a lot from it.

CB1821 - I was pretty sure, so I checked the website to confirm. There is a minimum age of 18 to attend the SOLO classes at NOC. I don't think it could hurt for you to take the class and share the...

Congrats!! I saw the story on Yahoo first thing this morning and then it clicked it was this same story.

I love Bear Naked but I've recently just started making my own granola and cereal. I know exactly what's in it, exactly when and where it was made and it's cheaper. I've become a little obsessed with...

I will definitely be checking these out. If it works, it will save hundreds of dollars spent/wasted on UA brand bras since they are the best thing I've found so far. I abhor the uniboob and hate...

I use it almost exclusively for cooking now. It fits in with a lot of diet plans too if that's your thing (dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, paleo, etc). It doesn't have an overly nutty taste and can...

This is my little old guy Hammy. He started out as jack russell number two at my mom's house but jack russell number one wasn't having it, so he came to stay with me for a two week vacation....

I miss my grandmother. That lady had probably a 90% accurate prediction rate. She was a country gal who lived off the land. She just knew things.

My single biggest regret upon moving away from Washington was never actually setting foot on that giant mountain I looked at every day. (Except those strange Washington days, when it was sunny and...

Is going to college completely out of the question for you? If not, there are schools, like Warren Wilson in Asheville, that offer degrees in things like Outdoor Leadership which would give you the...

I can't remember a time in my life when there wasn't camping/backpacking/hiking involved. I was fortunate to grow up with outdoorsy parents and in a very outdoor activity friendly area, in the North...

SOLO has a couple in WY - link here: http://www.soloschools.com/index.cfm?event=courses.show&ctid=1

I'm only 30 but in my entire lifetime living in the area, I've never known them to dry up. Get low? Sure. Unless the rest of the summer is a complete bust for rain, I wouldn't anticipate low levels...

Currently, I'm roughly 340 miles from Franklin. Home is about 18 miles from Neels Gap.
