Two snake bites in Maryland this month. Both while the victims were going to the privy at night. Becareful.

The hiking need not too difficult in order to train. In fact I would start of with easy hikes and then increase the challenge. Maryland offers great opportunities to get out on the trail and train....

Been using that Marmot Trails bag for a week or so and I very much like it. It is defiantly a summer bag- we had a freak chilly night and I was chilly. However it is very comfortable; it has a micro...

yep, Shades -game 2005 oct 6th

I tried the Scott farm idea, even timed it so that I arrived at dusk.... I ended up night hiking out of the valley. It is a sensitive area and many people have worked to ensure that the AT has a...

Just bought a Morrmot Trail (long) 1.3 lbs 90ish $. I'm 6'4/235/size 12. Send me a message in a week and I'll let you know how it holds up.

I would contact the park first, to know what their regulations are for trail magic. This could prevent a well intended event from becoming a unpleasant one.

Don't need some church promoter to inspire me on the trail. Walking in the wilderness (mostly wilderness) dose that already.

CNN Money Fortune Magazine brings Kleercut Campaign to the business world. Senior writer, Marc Gunther's article "Are Kleenex tissues wiping out forests?" lays out the arguments on both sides and...

Don't go back to something you left that was stagnate or that you know made you unhappy. Move on, and keep challenging yourself.

Isn't LNT more of a resources management technique, maximizing experiences for resource users? Conservation only goes as far as to preserve the resource for future users, not the conservation of the...

Congrats. Nice meeting you in Maryland. I love the LNT tat!

I usaully mistake WBers as thru hikers, cuz they hike smarter (small packs, etc). Not that thru hikers are smart.

350 miles not 305. here is a web site for the trail. www.atatrail.org

You can link up with the Great Allegany Passage and walk to Pittsburg now. Only one short section in MD that isn't finshed. 305ish miles with the C&O.

I used to feel that I needed to be far away from other humans and their tailings to be enjoy nature, but not so much anymore. Now sure hearing the interstate or aircraft overhead can be disturbing,...

Ever stepped in human ****?

LNT makes since to me, but that is what I was brought up on. I feel the principles are the same however, but LNT is more inclusive expounding the message to not just trash, but better reflecting the...

I got sick in erwin, and coming into catawba- wounder if anyone has ever tracked this.

Seems every year a bunch of hiker in one area of the trail or another get a stomach bug. Currently they are crawling into Hapers Ferry with it. It seems to hit all hikers without regard to their...

You can't take one trait and use it to define a population that would just be another stereotype. Every individual is just that, an individual. A hiker by any name can be just as rude.<?xml:namespace...

I hiked a good bit with Sawbuck last spring, he's the one who instilled into me the belife that I could finish. We keep Warren's pace in S. VA with packs, but I think a strong hiker is somebody who...

After dinning on there fine fare, I straped a couple large pizzas to my pack for my resup. I really liked the place; kids toys laying about, a young man and who I assumed was his Father, and a...
