In boy scouts we learned not to sleep in the clothes we'd worn all day long because the oils from our body would prevent them from insulating properly. Based on that, I plan to try to take a clean...

I have to admit that I'm not a very experienced hiker, but I am a very experienced distance runner. I'm big on the Glucosamine as well, but there's a stretch I do before, after, and sometime in the...

Hrmmm...if you flew over the AT in your baggy clothing, would that make you a Flight Blazer?

What about the legality of fishing on the trail? Would one need a license?

East Tennessee State University is also in Johnson City, but I don't know how close it is to the trail.

Does nobody take dried milk anymore? And what about the semi-sorta-new 'foil' packages of tuna?

I just want to say that I've been wondering the same dang thing. Thanks for asking this quesiton, ttravel.

I'm confident that one could still find diaper pins at a specialty store. I know a friend of mine used cloth diapers for her two kids, the younger of whom is about 7.

Most carriers charge by weight OR dimension, assigning a weight to a given dimension, and then charging for the greater of the two. In this case, the box that it ships in may not actually weigh 18+...

Newb,

I have the EXACT same problem. If I'm running every day, then my left ankle is fine. If I take a week or more off, then I wake up with it throbbing, it hurts to walk on, etc. The things...

If I read your post right, trekmat, you're looking for good, current information.

Books are fun and have their place, but due to the constant changes in technologies, route changes on the AT,...

I've traveled a bit with Greyhound, and I've always been under the impression that as long as I paid, I could take dang near whatever I wanted with me. I'm sure they have rules, but I've never seen...

I use my iPod shuffle with my PC, no problems. iTunes for windows works fine with it as well. I don't know how long the battery life is since I tend to plug it into the USB port on my computer to...

My mother used to claim that cigarette tobacco would alleviate the pain of wasp and hornet stings. Does anyone have any 1st hand experience with that? Should I grab a pack of unfiltered Lucky's to...

11/15 right for me!

That's what I was thinking. No underwear = less weight, no?

I'm so going for a kilt.

Sgt,

Stay safe over there. You will be in all our thoughts.

The question for me is...what does one wear under a kilt on the AT?

Husko,

I did the same thing, feeling much the same way. The Hammock arrived this week, and I'm torn between dying to try it out and fearing that it'll just be too wacky for me. *crosses...

I applaud your decision to unplug. I can't help but think what better shape I would be in physically without the internet. On the other hand, I don't know how I would keep in contact with people. ...

On GPS and other gadgets - my whole plan is to get away from electronics. The simpler my life is, the happier I tend to be. A GPS is just something else to lose or to get broken.

They only have smalls available, but since I'm 5'6", that works perfect for me. Thanks for the GREAT tip!

My sincerest apologies! It was not my intention to misrepresent your gender.

On a serious note, how do you plan on getting protein on the trail? I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian now for about...

Who would've thought that a guy named HarleyHogPit would be a vegetarian??!?!
