I'm in Franklin, NC with my 14 year old son. We are just over 100 miles in.
We are doing a TJ, but it is more for ourselves, friends and family, but if interested, it's...
I would think going with straight talk for $45 a month using at&t towers would be much better than t-mobile.
I would casually ask if they needed a hand, and if they said no, i would go about my own business.
I don't know. I will weigh it one time as I'm leaving the hiker hostel, and then will just go with it and make the necessary adjustments on the trail. My shoulders tell me so much more than the...
That's about what I'm thinking, and last year i left in April with less warm clothing, and weighed in at 30lbs w/ food and water. I'm not going UL, but i am slowly bringing my weight down. I wanted a...
I like my knife. It's a folder and I'm fine with its weight, i don't like cutting with small knives.
The stove will be used by my son and myself. I'm happy with my fuel bottle.
I sleep in a...
I'm less than a week from leaving, and think I have my gear locked in for now. I believe this is everything I will have with me except for food and water. I don't really count the ounces, but I will...
I was going to say the same thing Coffee. Social services phone would be ringing off the hook.
This is exactly the way i am too.
I had a three level fusion on my back, and i can't sleep on the ground on my back, but in my hammock, i sleep like a baby on my back. Just make sure you like it...
I "Liked" as well.
Will be interesting to see more details.
Smart phone or pc's in town, and some have people at home transcribe and post their entries.
I know, and i may have been to serious for the thread. I should have thrown some emoticons in there.
Just find it weird that people will give a stranger money to take a vacation.
I'm not a baby boomer, but i agree music has went down hill since the 70's.
probably 75% of the music on my mp3 player is classic rock.
I would call first. I looked in the 2013 AT guide, and it doesn't show that they hold mail.
5 murders vs how many safe thrus over 80+years?
odds of getting bitten by a shark while being hit by lightning are much higher.
do you think we can keep this in proper perspective?
in 3 separate...
Sure, i live in Oklahoma. Need directions?
Honestly, I'm not big on charity, but i have no problem helping a person in need, and wanting to do a thru-hike doesn't qualify as in need to me. There...
I will be out there on the 7th, and hitting the trail on the 8th. Time always seems to creep in the moment, and then you're only days away trying to tie up loose ends in a hurry, but next thing you...
Whisperlite works great on the trail. I personally like being able to simmer. It is what i use.
I have only hiked from Ga to Md, but never had a problem finding it at resupply points.
I think part of why the same question gets asked over and over is because it is not the easiest thing to find if the question has been asked. I gave up on searching topics from within Whiteblaze. A...
"Why pay your own way if others are willing to do it for you?"-Seems to be a common attitude these days.
I personally am not comfortable taking money from others. There is a satisfaction to...
I ran up on a grouse one time that went into attack posture. It had chicks and just distracted me while they crossed the trail about 10 foot in front of me. It went back and forth between mock...
Not sure i want to hike around you when it's above 90.
My own shadow. That's why I'm hiking the AT and not the PCT!
Ahh, one of the people i named on the trail.
Hope everything is going good for you Punchline. Hated to see you leave after trail days.
Congratulations!
