I, in my numerous gear searches (geek gear that is) came across a watch that was recommended as one of the best watches for outdoors ever. Surprisingly, it is just about ten dollars and sold at...
This is a great site. Thank you. I watch the weather alot and though I am not a meteorologist, I have picked up a few things along the way from just simply trying to figure out our hiking or...
Correct. I grew up on a small farm that my family had. We had chickens just for the fresh eggs. We would gather them and keep them out unwashed on the counter or wash them and put them in the fridge...
What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful best friend. I feel for your loss. Be comforted in the knowledge of the great memories that you shared.
I also purchased the GG Crown VC 60. I was interested also to hear those that have used it on the trail. I found a video on youtube demonstrating the inflatable Airbeam and in use with the VC 60....

Great! I will certainly look into Salomon Shoes. I purchased a pair of New Balance MT910 Goretex shoes. Not sure how water proof they are since I live in the desert and I don't normally find myself...
What is Climashield? And can it be purchased separately and added onto the shoe of choice or is it strictly incorporated into Solomon Shoes? I've looked it up but the links that pop up seem to be a...
At 18 years of age, I left the only home I had ever known in the Appalachians of VA and I went to live in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. I was there to serve my mission for the LDS Church. It was for two...
The teal ones I don't mind too much. It's the camo ones that you can't see until you're right up on them.
Ha ha. I knew about that film even before I ever saw it. Everytime I traveled and someone would always ask where I was from. When they found out I was from the Appalachians they would always quote...
Congratulations!! I will be using your advice and gearlist as a guide for what I have not purchased as of yet. Would you do anything differently as far as your clothing and gear choices other than...
To address that 'in the dirt' issue. I have a bite valve cover on mine and it was sold separately. I also have a clip on my over the shoulder strap that I slip the tube into when not in use. It...
They may be trash or just like the lawyers represented by their behavior, they just didn't know what they were getting into. Like I've said a few times in other posts, I grew up in the Appalachians...
Wonderful! When was that? There are some wonderful desert trails here in the Big Bend region that will be good preparation for a thru-hike. I hope you enjoyed your time here in Terlingua and the Big...
I just ordered three films ( I looked at a list of recommended films, I think there were ten or so, and I picked three that I wanted to watch). 'Trek', 'National Geographics-The Appalachian Trail'...
I've been researching this as well and there are postings that address this issue. What I've gotten out of all the responses to the posting was that we have two decisions to make when making the...
Closure is not about holding on to hope, it's about the unknown becoming more "known". It's a natural thing for people to fear the unknown versus knowing the worst thing possible. Closure is about...
My Dad has Parkinson's and he didn't give up anything until he reached the point where he is now in a bed. But until it was absolutely necessary that he reached that point, he didn't give up any of...
Animals have different GI make-ups than humans and their metabolism is much different as well. I'm not sure why each one is different but in humans, the spincter stays open which results in more of a...
I think alot of people in other countries wipe with their left hand irregardless of whether they are muslim or not. And I doubt that Muslims in modern countries with modern facilities do so. I have...
I also spoke with my physician and the pharmacy and they both told me that when the time arrives for my hike they would give me a 6 month prescription. I'm glad to hear that others have been able to...
I don't think I will be shaking hands with anyone on the trail.
dookie, log...
