    1. PLB ResQLink broadcasts at 5 Watts to get a signal to a government satellite and broadcasts a local homing beacon to get me help when the SHTF and I’m in serious...

    If this is the biggest thing you have to worry about, that’s awesome. The logo shown above does have the registration symbol below it. It’s not like the AT is a business designed to make money. The...

    I have a wireless sensor that connects to my watch. It’s about the size of three stacked quarters. All Garmin gear.

    Being ignorant about such topics, I have a question. How does one navigate on the trail with a service dog? Do dogs know to follow the white blaze? That seems like a stretch to me. Clearly such a...

    Haven’t worn a watch in about 25 years. Recently bought a Forerunner 935 from Garmin and love it! It’s basically a Fenix 5 in a lighter casing. It’s way over your budget at $500. However, I can...

    I’m a little more basic. I just carry a big black garbage back and put the whole pack, shoes, etc in the bag and kinda tie the end up - since it sits under the hammock. I always seem to get splatter...

    I wouldn’t get too worked up about it. I didn’t watch all of the videos, but I did watch quiet a few. I for one was surprised that you weren’t monetizing the YouTube content and that you weren’t...

    And one normally encounters rocks on the trail. So, you wedge your hiking pole between two rocks and bend it and it’s Leki’s fault? Now I know why these poles are so expensive. They are replacing...

    They will cover breakage due to user error? That’s pretty amazing. And don’t tell me hiking poles should never break. That’s bogus. If it’s deep in a big and you put a lateral load on it, that would...

    I was on the trail a couple of years ago during one of those torrential fronts. It rained like 6+ inches those few days. Even without the winds, it was miserable. Rain, rain, and more rain.

    “He summoned the courage and hobbled on. But he thinks his SPOT sparked the tenacity he needed to continue.”

    So, without his SPOT, we would have just given up? Yeah, right.

    IMHO, there really are no grounds for a complaint as you elected to use this system and perhaps had some unrealistic expectations regarding what it could provide. You clearly understand it is not a...

    And he refused an ambulance ride. Didn’t appear to break the skin. Not really a story.

    They didn’t “bend” the rules for this family. So what makes you think they would do so otherwise? I agree with the comment that the AT needs to be routed out of BSP. Sounds like the relationship is...

    Whether there was or not, whenever I think of the BSP rangers, I’ll picture Barney Fife with his silver bullet.

    I’ll be sure to tell a police officer that next time I inadvertently speed - I’m sure he’ll let me off. Just because I don’t condone breaking rules doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s a dumb rule.

    I couldn’t agree more. Besides, this ending leaves them with a more memorable story. When someone asks the kids in ten years about their journey, they will likely end their story with a footnote...

    +1. Stop at the property line to the park and leave it at that. That would sure make a point.

    They have been making YouTube videos the entire way. Don’t you think they did the final day as well? The posts are just a couple weeks behind. Be patient.
