These boots have 60 New Hampshire trail miles on them. Worn by a 135lb female hiker. They are in excellent condition. I don't know when or if I will ever be able to backpack again and I can't see...

Attended my second REI Garage Sale yesterday. So far both have gone well for me other than a child (10-12 y/o?) that ducked under and came up right in front of me. I put up with him long enough to...

I have donated to them in the past. Received this today. I'm sure it can be checked for verification.

Urologist blame the constipation. GI says it is a MOTILITY DISORDER. Put on a new, very expensive medication for constipation, that doesn't help.
At this point I either don't eat or use a liquid...
I suffered a lateral tibial plateau fracture last June on Mt. Madison. Next we had a tough winter. Then I developed several medical problems. During that time I sprained, fractured and tore a...
I usually have trouble during my first week on the trail. I carry Glycerin Suppositories which help most of the time. If you are out and experience a severe case where nothing helps you can use a...
"As you probably know, you can't backcountry camp in Natural Bridge State Park."
While this is true, Natural Bridge's Backcountry was the first place I ever camped. The Hamilton Country Park...
I did not care for the book either. Delving into her sexual promiscuity was not necessary. It seemed to me that she was a bit repetitive throughout the book also. While I'm not as interested in the...
Decision made. No hiking this year. Broke my ankle!
My concerns are being fit enough to start where I have to & having to mentally deal with the mud. Over the past 3 years of hiking I have met SOBO hikers with horror stories about the mud in Maine. It...
In 2013 I planned to finish the last section of my NOBO hike. It was my fifth year and I picked the trail back up at Franconia Notch. After breaking my leg on MT. Madison, I only made it as far as...
Just went on to download. They are charging $3.99 now. ???
You nailed it.
June 27, 2013: In the Whites, lost my balance, twisted my ankle and fell backwards resulting in a tibial plateau fracture. I just thought my knee was acting up so I hiked for three more days...
In the past knee pain was what always made me leave the trail. Along with the advice already given, I would add: get on a physical therapy plan to strengthen the muscles around the knee ( and make...
I broke my tibia on Mt. Madison this year and I hiked on it for another 15 miles. I had a cell but chose not to use it. Everyone has a different pain tolerance level.
This year because of weather and timing I ended up staying at some of the huts. Each experience was different. I will say that upon arrival I was not greeted and always had to say "ahem... could you...
When I was a teenager my Sunday school teacher got me started hiking. Later in life I did my first backpacking with our County Park District. Next I discovered The Great Smokey Mountains Institute At...
Your mileage expectations are too high. Leave the dog at home. Met a few in that section this year and they almost all had bloody paws from the rocks.
I'm just a section hiker. This year my section was to be the last 380 miles NOBO. I started at Franconia Notch (the Whites are not a good section to start in). I only made it 60 miles and the last...
Double Rainbow Tarp Tent.
I feel like I hike head down but, somehow I still end up with hundreds of pictures.
I've seen and taken pictures of three of them.
I am a purist section hiker. This year in the Whites I met several people who claimed to be thru-hikers and were getting work for stay at the huts. One guy started in central PA, one guy skipped PA,...
