I did a section starting at Pearisburg and ending in Damascus last spring. I was hiking through the bubble of hikers who left Damascus after Traildays. The most NOBOS I saw in one day was 82. They...

I've never had a problem with mice. I don't stay in shelters and usually camp far away. I hang my food - mostly out of habit having started hiking as a kid out west. I drape my hiking clothes over my...

No we saw her after her fall. We gave her ice and she stayed for a while. She decided to hike on to DWG.27664 Here she is elevating her wrist with ice. I hope she gets back to the trail soon.

We provided trail magic at Fox Gap (Between Wind Gap and the Delaware Water Gap) and visited with the following hikers: Cake, Duff, Trigger, Greenland, Opus, Lara & Michael & Tucker (their dog),...

I use either the Batchstovez 10cm or 12cm pot http://www.batchstovez.com/batchstovez-cook-pots.php with my alcohol stove. I used a grease-pot for years, but prefer anodized aluminum. ...

I've used a Jam for the past two years, including a 400 mile section hike. I like it for summer section hikes, but it's a bit small for my winter trips with a larger, heavier sleeping bag and more...

That section is not too bad. The rocks get worse north of Port Clinton.

Whiskey comes from Gaelic - in Scots Gaelic uisge beatha - literally water of life. The spelling used in the UK and Canada is generally "whisky". In Ireland and the US it's usually "whiskey." As...

I've hiked from Mohican Outdoor Center NJ to Pearisburg, VA - about 670 miles. By the time I finish I'll be ready to retire and have time for a thru-hike.

I almost always hike SOBO probably...

Almost all SOBO - don't know why.

I wouldn't worry too much about the gap at the bottom of the tent. I camped this weekend in Wharton State Forest (NJ) in a Mountainsmith Mountain Shelter LT which is a single-wall tarp/tent with a 1...

In regard to the abandoned well, Yellow Springs is in State Gamelands so you should probably contact the PA Game Commission.

I use the LLBean version of the Patagonia Nano Puff and an 100 weight hooded fleece on my late fall/winter/early spring hikes here in PA. This with a long-sleeve polyester t-shirt underneath and a...

Drinking bourbon at the end of a day on the trail beats drinking bourbon and thinking about the trail. I actually spent a couple of days last weekend walking on the trail between Port Clinton and...

Dollar General is great for resupply. Some small towns like Glasgow, VA don't have traditional supermarkets but usually have a Dollar General or Family Dollar.

I carry a mini photon squeeze light, but I've never used it - so it's probably just extra weight. Years of spelunking made me a little paranoid.

I've come to enjoy lightweight backpacking and that becomes difficult if it gets too cold. I draw the line at my ability to find liquid water at or near camp each night. I don't want to haul around...

While hiking REI Sahara pants alone down to 25 F or so; below that polyester long johns under the pants. In camp I put on some microfleece pants between the long johns and the pants. If it's really...

"Take your $, phone and electronics in with you. No one in the general public wants your smelly tent, clothes etc and other hikers already have that stuff."

This is what I do and I've never had...
