Things were pretty crazy where I'm at today as well. It never got to bad at my place, except from my place, but we had a tornado about 8 miles north in the early afternoon and saw a funnel cloud...

As someone about to graduate from med school, I can only say good luck and get out hiking while you can! You will cherish the memories when you are stuck studying day in and day out.

Its actually pretty much the normal amount of rain if you look at the averages. Its just that, the drought that got so bad last year has actually been gradually worsening over the past few years, so...

Link to a thread on this same topic. If you are small and don't mind tight spaces then its a good tent. I'm too...

This is a good tent and it has kept me dry in some very wet nights. Unfortunately at 6 ft tall its just to small for me. I feel very claustrophobic in it also as I can't sit up in it, so I use it...

This is what I was going to sugest. I used to hike in my regular disposables but I switched to these about a year and half ago and I will never go back. They are more comfortable than any other...

Thanks for the info guys. I'm thinking about driving up next saturday or sunday.

I'm thinking of a day hike up Trey mtn. Do you guys up there think this weekend or next would be better for color?

MRSA may not be new but in recent years the amount of community acquired MRSA has sky-rocketed. It is something that the health community is only just starting to realize the scope of. On the other...

If I recall, I had a piece of that lasagna on Springer along with a beer that you also carried up. Definately one of the best meals I've had on the trail.

I have this jacket and I only take it on short weekend trips when I have a lot of extra room in my pack. That said it is the best fleece I have ever owned. It truly blocks out the wind and is...

Sounds pretty good to me. I wasn't familiar with the history of the word. This sounds pretty good too.

Flu shots won't protect against this bug as its NOT influenza and flu shots only protect against the infulenza virus. Stomach flu (gastroenteritis) is not caused by the influenza virus. Actual...

While I've never had a dental problem on the trail I've visited several physicians while hiking the AT and found that the were all very trail friendly and understanding of the situation. I even...

When is your spring break? I was thinking about doing the FHT for my spring break as well. Odds are its not at the same time as mine, first week of April, but I figured I'd try.

I've got some of these contacts that you wear for 30 days and then toss. They are amazingly comfortable, though I can't think of the specific name I know they are from Bausch and Lombe (sp?) All I...

Pure hypoglycemia without associated diabetes or pre-diabetes is rare. It can be caused by a rare tumor of the pancreas called an insulinoma or by some rare metabolic enzyme defects. ...

I have the tega and have used it for a 5 week trip. I have the medium sized, b/c I'm very tall, though. I have been very happy with this pack. Its very comfortable and has a nice narrower profile...

I have this problem. I agree with what other people have said but don't forget that you need a combination of carbs, fat and protein for both immediate and longer term energy. I've definately...

I'm also a new female hammocker. I'd spent many nights in a hammock when I worked at a summer camp but never thought to do it backpacking until recently when I was researching new tents. I ended up...

I've hitchhiked a number of times and it always makes me nervous. I've never done it alone and wouldn't reccomend it given some of the people who've stopped to pick me up. As a thru you'll likely...

It'll never happen. I give it 300:1 odds at best.

So I got my MRI results back. No slipped discs. Instead I have sacralization of L5 with pseudoarthrosis. I'm in the medical field I didn't have any clue what that meant. My current understanding...
