Wow, I was looking into it, and Mt Fuji looks pretty straight forward to climb. It sounds like I'll be there during peak season, but I'd almost prefer that safety wise. Can't wait to have the...

I'll be traveling to Japan for work for a month, and will have quite a few days off to explore. Any hikers here ever hike/camp in Japan? I'll be living in Tokyo, but was thinking that the Shinkansen...

I'll be going on my 2nd week+ section hike this July and would like to pass and socialize with some though hikers along the way. Where would be the best place to pass though-hikers (NOBO or SOBO)...

Diddo. I'd be in to test out some new gear (my winter gear is a bit lacking though). I'm right in center city. There are two state parks resonably accessable by regionrail if you don't have a car....

I was just there this weekend (10/3/07) and the spring was putting out about a quart every 10 minutes. Drop by Drop. No puddle to pump out of though, so bring a pot or something to fill up.

Hey all, I'm planning on doing a hike from Swatara Gap then head north to either rt 645 or rt 501. Any one know which one has better/safer over night parking?
Also if anyone knows the water...

We will likely have between 4 and 8 people with atleast two cars.

Right now, my plan is to park one car somewere in Port Clinton (if anyone knows any good spots please tell) and park the...

I will soon be organizing a back packing trip for some of my university friends, most of whom have only been "car camping". We all go to Drexel University (Philadelpha, PA), and I figured the Hawk...

The offering of "The Pack Shack" seem to be exactly what the president of the outdoors club wants. Thank you LIHikers for that advice. Although all of you that suggested EMS/REI for gear supply seem...

Hello all, I am a student at Drexel University (in Philadelphia) and have recently volunteered to organize some sort of out doors trip for a Drexel Club. I personally have completed the northern half...

I plan to do 5 or so days north starting at Duncannon, and the easiest way for me to get there is to drive myself. Whats the Safest and best parking in the Duncannon/Clarks Ferry area for that long?...

I put the contents of the bag into a zipplock back enough water to cover it all, put it in a cozzy and wait about 15 min. They're normally done enough, and heck they're good raw too so if they don't...

I've never stayed in either of the places you've mentioned, but I have done all of the AT in PA north of rt 501 and there are plenty of nice places that aren't neccessarily in a state park. If you...

When are you planning on leaving? I'm probably doing that area late march.

When I started out as a kid i had a used jansport scout. It did me fine for quite a few years untill I needed a biger pack. The last forever, I think my is on its fourth user now.

Thats very interesting. I've been doing the same thing for a few years by just putting rocks in the bottom of the big pot, to hold the smaller baking pan. Does this do any that rocks can't?

I'd have to agree with John. My Boy Scout troop has been using Eureka tents since I can remember, hold up well too.

how about none at all? I've given this some though, and since my eyes aren't that bad yet I'm thinking about not taking them at all. I wear them normally day to day, but a day with out them doesn't...

It's very possible its done real time. There are computer programs writen to you can connect to home made hardware to control lights with a computer. They're designed for Dj's, but I guess you could...

I've had one of the Dana Designs one for a couple years now, and it works pretty well. The main reason I got it was because of the additional water bottle holder, but it has a good sized map, pouch...

I've had a North Face Canyonlands for a couple years now. Used it on some section hikes, and Its better than anything else I've used. I've used the Timberline 2 before and its just a bit too heavy. I...

actually my co-op would be for 5 months so it seems as if it would work out pretty well. Thanks for all the advice so far. I'm begining to think about waiting till I'm done, but I want to do it now...

I'm a college studen and possibly planning a thru in 2007. What I was wondering was how do your find time to take your hike? I've heard some people say they got their college to sponsor them or...

I recently found out how well backpacking keeps you in shape for Skiing and vis vers.

I was just wondering if it was possible to have an RSS feed on the Photos portion of this web page. I already have a regular RSS feed of the site on my google home page, but the google side bar has...
