Oh man, I tried not to expect too much and it far surpassed my dreams. If I don't do another long hike, I know I've had my great experience and it has definitely set the bar for the future for me....

Yes, Jester's article is a great parody:)

It tends to be freelance writer that has no control over what happens to it after it's handed over. I say definitely type the person's name in online first and see some of their previous "articles"...

I know these days are probably the best of my life, so I'm surely soaking it all in for future replays when I won't be able to do this someday. I've bound my journals and made photo books for myself...

Thank you Dogwood! It's been quite an amazing ride. I never could have even made this stuff up! Pretty darn happy:)

Haha, I hope that happens someday Dogwood:)

Thanks for reiterating TrailGroove's Online Magazine Mags! Nice to see that link to what Backpacker used to produce. Sell outs! Ha!

John, in the original post, you can click on the two blog titles I gave and it will redirect you to the articles I wrote breaking down what they've published...

Hi all, I don't post here often, but I just want to point out to everyone that may not have seen it, the terrible job Backpacker Magazine is doing this month in featuring women and backpacking. Much...

Walter White...I remember sitting on the porch waiting for the ride, but then the ride itself is a blank...then I remember hiking with Ace. So crazy as I like remembering details and that shuttle all...

Sarcasm, that's great! I agree that he does a great job and alway gets me at the end!
Hi Hangfire! Yeah...kinda get itchy legs if I sit still too long...I guess the trail name fits! Nice to hear...

I know Squatch will not self promote, so I'm going to let everyone know that his final film of his AT triology is now available on DVD, Blu-ray, and download. He documented his final section hiking...

Yes, apparantly they were often selling it at a loss or something like that....not surprising that they are now out of business.

I do have a friend that just started using one of these and I wonder how they compare too. My understanding is that for a thru especially, one that folds smaller has a better chance of breaking. I...

Yes, I found the hands free setup to be good with all types of movement and was surpised at how mobile I was. Only problem is in gusts when you may need to angle it to compensate. With lots of...

Great to hear everyone! Hope I don't waste you $$, but I loved having the umbrella and had many envious hikers around on the AT last summer. At least you can always send it home if it turns out that...

I've gotten many inquiries on how to get the Chrome Dome Umbrella now that GoLite is out of business...Well, the good news is that they are finally back in the US! Bad news, is that they aren't as...

Thank you Paul. It was quite the culmination, that's for sure. As a bonus, the 27mi day with the Kallins was also the first day I met Jett Cat:) All the way down in Virginia...and we didn't start...

I remember you Animal, ha! Great to hear you'll be back out there. As you well know, Squatch's final film of the Flip Flop Flippin trilogy is premiering in Portland at the end of February and will...

Damn Yankee, this is not the same family as the one that was selling youtube videos of their hike along the way. That was a different family with older kids.

Tick Tok! That 27mi day that All In talks about with me was the day we met you in Shenandoah and got trail magic! It was quite a day! Here's how I wrote about it that day....

Many of you were captured by the Kallin Family with the adorable Robin Hood (9yrs) and Cartwheel (7yrs) that thru hiked the AT last summer. Here is All In's TEDx talk on what it was like to watch his...

Hi all, Wired here. Thanks for the shout out Mags:) I do get the question about keeping devices charged A LOT, so here's my two cents...
I DO NOT recommend a solar charger on the AT with all the...

Great to hear Praha4. I'd still be careful as it isn't intended to be more odor proof than an OP Sack. It is pricey, so I hope it works for you! I stayed away from the shelters, so that helps too, ha!

Hi Capehiker! I always like hearing from those there since the beginning. It's been quite a ride hasn't it!? Seriously can't even make this stuff up! Just love it!
