I took my watch off today because of this post. Hopefully it will be a continuous reminder to live now. Thank you.

I agree. Maybe I should have said, "I hope I change my life after the AT." Though, I'm not sure how easy it is to change the way you think. But now that I've actually experienced another way, maybe...

Hello everyone! I'm in Hanover tonight and continuing SOBO tomorrow morning. I just spent some time reviewing each day I've been on the trail and where I ended up each night. While doing this, I was...

Considering the weight when they were new, my tent is heavier.

Tent - TarpTent Contrail - 24.5 oz
Shoes - Soloman Sense Ultra - 20 oz

The other two pair of shoes I've been wearing on the trail...

Thank you!

Somehow I managed to pack over 18 pounds of food for the start of my SOBO. Way too much food. WAYYYYY too much weight. So if you are hungry and around the 100 mile wilderness the over the next week,...

I'm in a hotel, ready to board a flight to Boston at 7am and arrive at Millinocket around 9pm. I start my SOBO on the 5th. Everything you described is dead on with how I've been feeling. It was...

The pictures being taken by the 1.5 oz Google Glass are turning out pretty good with the latest software update. https://plus.google.com/photos/+projectglass/albums/5885764372000336609

And it does...

Thank you!

Thank you.

Here's a good breakdown of waterproof cameras for 2013: http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/features/2013-waterproof-camera-roundup. Before reading this article and watching the video I was conflicted...

I'm going to recommend the Olympus Stylus TG-2 because that's what I just bought for my thru-hike :)

Here are a couple sets of pictures I took over Memorial Day weekend at Whitewater State Park in...

You are right. All the bulls are killed in bullfights afterwards. I did go to a bullfight when I visited Spain for my AP Spanish class. We also discussed the topic of them being tortured. I'm not...

You are so violent, and your words wound me more than a bull ever could.

That's like me saying I'm going to thru-hike the AT and someone saying, "Surely some woods in your area has a hill you can climb."

Well, I'm picking up Glass on June 9th. I'll try them on the trail for two weeks to see how I feel about them. If they make me too nervous or if the battery life makes these useless, I'll just send...

I already have my plane ticket, bus tickets, and reservation at AT Lodge on July 4th and my reservation for Katahdin Stream on July 5th. But now I ran into this opportunity:...

Do you have a pack cover or liner? Also, you may want to bring a bandana to filter out bigger objects from the water so your microfilter doesn't get clogged. The bandana will actually be...

Thanks Dogwood. I'm not sure if I'll go that UL to start, as I've never hiked like this before and I want to feel at least some sort of comfort. But maybe when I get going I'll find that I don't need...

Thanks dogwood. I am happy after that 3lb+ error was found. I believe I was also given enough information to cut some more ounces if I want. I can also fork up some more money for lighter equipment...

I started reading "AWOL on the Appalachian Trail" and AWOL writes of backpacks weighing 35 to 50 pounds. My jaw kind of dropped when I read this, but than I thought, "that was in 2003, surely this...

I'm totally bummed out. I wanted to use the last post as my signature, but smilies are not allowed :(

Oh, you were being sarcastic. Well played :)

Thank you!

I heard you loud and clear. Why am I going to die?
