That said...shelters exist to minimize the impact of overuse of the trail. Shelters are good for the trail and using them is good too...especially for those who are "LNT ignorant." Careful LNT...

Hey guys..stumbled on this thread because I was looking at this MassDrop for a "Granite Gear Crown X60" for $119 which looks like an amazing deal to me. That deal expires tonight...just FYI. I...

So...I'm Cobble. And I like hiking.

Hey everyone!:banana
Just a space for everyone to introduce themselves...

In heavy flea infested situations you can wear two flea collars like for cats as wristband and ankleband on opposing sides of bodies. This is what we did in Afghanistan when living among the people....

I had a cartoon strip one section hike. I thought up the next cartoon during the day then entered it into the log at the shelter at night.

Seen a number of short stories spread over the...

Awesome Coffee. Sorry to hear about the change in plans for this year, but here's hoping with you that you get to do the Thruhike you're wanting to do next year!(wow runon sentence)

Here's to the...

First off...ouch!
Second I guess I fall into the second category. Trying to figure how to swing my rent during a PCT thru next year. I'm hoping I can muscle enough money from work to coast on over...

Are you or anybody you know named "Two Tone?"

Do you or anyone you know recently broken their foot?

If you answered "yes" to both of these questions I'd love to get in contact with Two Tone...

Right now it is 100% a money thing...I hate that it is, but it is.

DirtyNails good to have you out there. Maybe if I go slow enough you'll catch me...highly probable actually.

Razorshot...the vids and images I've seen take my breath away. I'm looking forward to...

What if I said to minimize ecological impact?

yeah its BS for me....its just easier. (But it does make me feel better about myself!)

I always hiked ahead or behind the main pack of thru hikers....and so it made sense for me to carry a small tarp for emergencies and ditch the tent for Erwin --->Hanover

people rolling in after...

As long as its poisoned peanut butter..no problem :eek:

Check under the Cooking/Food Section. There are like three people that do and they keep posting under fifty names each...or 150 people posting under one name each. One of those.

Don't do post hike. After coming off the trail move directly back into prehike, begin planning your next trip, tweak your gear, stock up on fuel and foods, research new pack configurations, and most...

When you don't have three changes of clothes in your bag...lol

Yeah same for me..clouds rolled in as I hit the sign.

I figure if not too icey or too steep a trekking pole should work for self arrest in a pinch.(certainly not as good as an axe admittedly and probably will screw up the pole) Would certainly miss the...

I know everyone says carry them...then they said that they never had to use theirs...but they were glad they had them "just in case."

After some years on the trail, I learned of the many stupid...

I had a base weight around 18 to finish the AT. (5.5lb pack, 3 lb bag, 2.5lb tent) Where I went crazy was my 5-10 days of food that I carried, I just didn't like resupplying. Now granted I was...

Razorshot...looks like your big K day was pretty lousy. You get any views on the way up?

Lol. When I tell my boss it will be my two week notice! At least it guarantees 6 months off.

Heard of a "Suitcase Challenge?" Where the challengee packs 12 bottles of beer, drinks 1 per hour, and hikes 1 or 2 miles per hour, for the entire 12 hours.

A young lady that did this crashed into...
