I don't understand why this guy didn't make a beeline for Cosby Campground with his bear-bitten foot. It must not have been hurting too badly because he kept hiking along and spent the next night at...

i guess i don't get the point of a zip stove. the idea is to save on fuel weight by using sticks, right? but the stove itself is heavy as hell, much heavier than any number of alternatives. so why...

take iodine. you won't need to use it that much anyway. the spring water is drinkable straight.

go to damascus, park your car, get a shuttle to fox creek and then walk back on the a.t.

it's really only the shelters nearest roads -- mt collins and icewater -- that rangers check with any regularlity at all. you're pretty safe at the rest of them to do what you please,

i'm sorry you're having a bad day, buddy. i don't much care for your posts, either. you're always telling people how to behave and pretending to be some kind of expert on everything. i think you're a...

he was preaching and you're a dick

i thought it was a great book, and i've enjoyed some other of bryson's stuff. but there's no way katz is real. in several of bryson's books, the same thing happens -- katz is hanging out in iowa...

what do you mean? please elaborate

most dogs aren't made to walk long distances. maybe a beagle or some other breed that's built for endurance, but that's it. the rest of them like to sleep a lot

it depends on how far you walk each day

you can do that but only if you know you can. not many hikers know that road goes up there, i'd bet. the question is, why shouldn't the trail go up there? that's where the view is.

well in this case, there's no blue blaze up that mountain either. they did their best to pile as much brush and logs as possible in what used to be the trail

i was hiking in the shenandoah over the weekend and i discovered that they've relocated the trail north of pass mtn. it used to go over a mountain past an FAA tower. there was a nice view....

don't listen to those two. go out and leave a little magic on the trail. knock yourself out. it will be greatly appreciated.

can you trap a fur-bearing animal? what if you're a fur trapper? can you trap fur then?

see, if i carried a map, i'd know that

good post, muddy. why does bob peoples sign the certificates?

are you talking about your kid? why don't you just tell him what to carry and be done with it? who's the adult there?

tell you what, fart, if i ever go into the alaskan backcountry, i'll bring a map. or if i ever go off into injun territory to trap furs

how'd you get old fhart for a name? was old dickhead already taken?

your refusal to go without a map displays the fact that you are a big pussy, fart
