Hello all, I'm getting back into backpacking after several years off when kids were littler. Went recently to Grayson Highlands with my 15yo, and we took our old Kelty down bags as I figured they'd...

Just replying to say hi to someone living in my hometown! To answer question, I don't honestly think I've ever gone more than a day without seeing someone else. I've hiked a lot in NPs though, so...

Yeah I wasn't really sure about that either. I've never done it before, but I'm extra freaked out this year for some reason. I won't, but I feel like I should just take a bath in it.

I don't get why it has to be a competition. That's still 20 pounds in a very short timeframe. A typical person losing would take 2 1/2 months at best to drop 20 pounds. And about 7 months for 55...

This is now my retirement plan. Just got to make it 9 more years & hope they're hiring then.
