I recently also made myself a cozy out of closed cell foam. I should post some pictures. My design is similar to this one except I used seam grip instead of tape for the joins, so the end result is...
I'm in a very similar situation, I *finally* finish up in December. Luckily I already have a part time job in my industry, which converts over to full time once my last exam for second semester is...
I have trouble playing it in quicktime, so I used VLC instead, it pretty much plays anything you can throw at it. Though also it could be a problem with not having the correct codec installed.
So...
Superbly done! Good luck to you Lion King, I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Wow, you are so hardcore Wolf, infact you are *that* good that I want to have your babies.
I've only ever done 3-4 day hikes in the Snowy Mountains, but basically I've been there so many times that I have no intention of going back anytime soon, let alone doing a long distance hike there. ...
I'll definetly try get my hands on that book. Thank you very much for your advice Johnny and frieden, I've made my decision now and I will be doing the AT as originally planned.
When I decided I was going to thru-hike the AT next year, I wasn't really aware of the PCT or the CDT. I've been doing some research on the other two and I'm now considering which one I really want...
I think you should lay off those meds for a while :D
Well not in town yet, but I've been wearing them around the house for the past few days, they are awesome.
Cheers for the tip, I was going to bring a neckwarmer, but I will take a balaclava...
I'm still researching, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up using one.
Probably put things like toilet paper, cotton ear buds etc. Plus winter clothes when the time is appropriate.
Turns out the local sporting goods store sells them (Crocs), so I bought a pair!
They are *so* light, it's fantastic. I decided on a nice light blue colour.
I also took a trip to the outfitter in...
Firstly I think I stay with the whole 'wearing underwear' thing, I'm not really a fan of commando style. :p
As for sandals, I have a nice pair of Merrel sandals, but they are heeeaavyy.. I've seen...
Yes, I definetly see your point here, thanks for the reality check :)
I was thinking the second shirt would be the one that I slept in, but now that I think about it I would probably be sleeping in the thermal top, so yeah I think I can manage with only 1 shirt.
As...
Whoops, there shouldn't be a * next to the long sleeve icebreaker top, I already own that. It was bought in NZ a few years ago, I'm very happy with it.
I need some advice as to what clothes will be necessary for a mid march NOBO thru-hike start.
This is the preliminary list I have compiled so far, a * means I haven't yet bought the item. Also...
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I will definetly be searching the forums for more info as you suggest.
I was wondering if anyone has ordered from backcountry.com, and if so what was their experience with them?
Having weighed up my options when it comes to tents, I think I'll possibly be going for...
247 is exactly what is says on my post it note for today :p
Looks like we'll most likely be meeting eachother on the trail.
Approximately 1388 Hours of staring at a monitor at work.
Speaking of counting, by coincidence just yesterday I started off a countdown by putting up a post-it note with the 'number of days to go',...
oh crap.. thank you so much for reminding me about the fact I need a visa! *starts applying straight away*, I'd forgotten that I will be staying more than 90 days and hence actually need a visa.
...
heh, I'm with you there Mike. I spend atleast 1 hour of work everday thinking about what it's going to be like on the trail. mmm I hope my boss won't read this :P
Just wondering how many other crazy individuals like myself are planning on travelling half way round the world to thru-hike the AT. I'm from the east coast of Aus.
Additionally are you planning...
