One night when in my tent waiting to go to sleep, I thought what a bear would do if I made a 'bear shaped' tent how a bear would react. I know they make a bear shaped sleeping bag, so a bear shaped...

I did not see it personally, but on my last thru I was told by fellow hikers that they saw a guy wearing 2 canisters of (anti-bear spray), and had 4 (!) more in his pack. What they said is that he...

LOL that is classic.

Southbound is a fun movie

Water will be a moot point due to the fact he has to carry not only his pack with the usual stuff for himself and his child, then carry the child on his back somehow along with the pack. Add in all...

I go slow and enjoy nature, I take my time to get to the end. To me the journey is more important than the destination. I love meeting so many unique and awesome people. My last thru I did it in 7...

1: With all of those appointments all over the place, those 1000 miles in the car, how do you plan to go to those appointments when you are thru-hiking the trail? All of those appointments in just 2...

I love the sound of the rain in the deep woods.

I think this is a scam by a bot?

He might regret his hasty actions with due to possible legal actions.

Thanks, I think having it all in one place honors Mr. Lilly in a way. He was a human being, who was according to the FBI found dead under 'suspicious circumstances'. No one deserves this fate,...

I have been greatly disturbed by the death of a fellow Appalachian Trail hiker, Mr. Scott Lilly. I have been reading about this tragic death on the forums, but the news and rumors are spread out...

YES, that is Papa Smurf!! This is the same guy I saw in 2001 on my first thru. He has not aged well, but that is for sure him. The quality of the picture is excellent, and this photo should be sent...

It was totally absurd. The Coach bag was probably several hundred dollars and it clearly took up half the pack she was hauling. What possible reason could a person have to take a coach bag deep into...

No, the picture is not of Papa Smurf, but of the knife. I thought I was clear in my wording that I was showing a photo that compared the knife papa smurf had in 2001 to the random photo I found using...

Holy crap. I met this guy on my first thru hike years ago. I always remember this guy, he was very mentally unstable, and in fact I think he was dangerous.

He was mooching off of people in a big...

When I did my first thru a woman at a shelter pulled out of her pack a Coach handbag and used it around the camp.

Insanity.

You nailed it, Blissful. This guy is only out for records and probably a book deal after he hikes the trail.
I find it amazing that he is wanting to thru-hike the AT when he has no job, his son is...

Finally, I would like to simply say to the people encouraging this gentleman to do a thru-hike with his special needs child and giving him help and advice are being irresponsible at best, and if they...
