Completed in 4 full days and 2 half days in mid-May, very well-marked. The flats are easy walking, but there are some steep climbs and descents. Saw 1 other backpacker, 2 dayhikers, a bunch of deer,...
Thanks for your insight! Appreciate it!
That looks awesome! I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have a question...
I was planning a trip there in May, but am having some second thoughts after reading about the nuclear reactor that...
Is it possible to thru-hike the MidState Trail? I just dropped $43 on the mapset only to find the southern, like, quarter is on state game lands where camping is not permitted. Hard to tell the exact...
Thinking like an OR nurse doing sterile/clean technique, etc. etc. I am super aware of what I touch, and what has touched what. When I use tampons, my fingers stay completely external, they never...
Thanks for your input, KnightErrant! Good to know I'm not the only one questioning the cup in the backcountry. Definitely sticking with tampons for this summer at least. Double-bag 'em and we're good...
I like the DivaCup in real life, but I just can't get it to work for me in the woods (anything longer than a day hike). My hands always have a layer of ground-in grime on them when I thruhike, which...
I have been slowly day-hiking the NET (which is more certainly NOT a wilderness experience) over the past few years, and I took a Lyft in the Westfield area of Massachusetts, which is very urban. It...
That is the whole reason I drive 4+ hrs to New Hampshire! Oy.
mad props to both of you! Onwards and upwards
As a healthcare worker, this makes me cringe a little bit. Obviously there are some really big issues with the system, but if you come into the ED in really bad shape, we will patch you, stick you,...
I did a SHT thru from the Northern Terminus to downtown Duluth in 16 days (with 1 nero) last September 2015. Having previously done the AT, I think it would make a really good training wheels/ test...
I am not going to say that this is good and you should do it, but I thru-hiked SOBO last summer, and I would guesstimate that > 2/3 of thru-hikers used bleach. I myself started with a Katadyn pump,...
Amongst the people I met, Verizon pretty consistently the best coverage this summer, for what it's worth...
I'm also hoping to start SOBO early to mid-June. I'm flexible on an exact start date. If I started with a buddy my family would be forever grateful! :-) Feel free to PM me
I dayhiked Katahdin this past summer to kind of check out the territory. We drove 8 hrs overnight to get there, hiked up the Abol Trail (6:30 am) and came down the Hunt Trail (done by 4:30 pm). It'll...
I will also be SOBOing, most likely starting mid-June. Due to a college schedule, a NOBO attempt would have to be super rushed and just didn't seem worth it. So SOBO it is!
:-)
I know this is kinda silly and you guys are gonna laugh at me, but I am a sucker for actual, legit, paper maps. The kind with creases that you can fold into nice little squares and mark-up with notes...

SOBO
Hoping to start mid-July, still looking for a partner. There are potential candidates, but it's hard for them to commit right now. My fam is going to freak out if I try to go solo!
