That there is some great advice.

I am also from Ohio and did a 3 week section last summer starting at Harper's Ferry. I'm not sure what mode of transportation you have planned, but if driving, I...

If you do not have backpacking experience, I would not recommend planning any days longer than 16 miles, even if you are physically fit. That section is not particularly challenging, but like others...

Try not to overthink it.

Even before you can take her on an actual walk in the woods, introduce her to outdoor activities where she will be moving and engaged like camping, going to a local...

I think it would be possible if you walk slowly and carefully enough in perfect conditions. But where is the fun in that? Some of my favorite memories I have spent on trail are situations when I've...

I use/used an Osprey Poco for my most recent child starting at around 10 months. On our family hikes she was along for the ride for trips of up to 10-12 miles up until the age of approximately 3. She...

I managed to step on a timber rattler last August In New Jersey two miles or so north of the Mohican Outdoor Center.

I was hiking on a sprained ankle which PA had given me as a parting gift two...

I don't think there is anything that you can do in the summer months to keep the stench away. Even if I shower and wash my clothes I always smell like I rolled out of a dumpster after an hour or two...

Unfortunately, it wasn't a typo. The Sheriff's office confirmed that he did indeed weigh 83 lbs. I want to be careful not to make too many assumptions. However, I think it is safe to say that he was...

The Collier County Sheriff Office posted an update

Deceased hiker CASE UPDATE

You are correct, the official announcement has not been made. I would assume this is because they are still unable to positively identify him. The photos provided are from others posting to the...

This possibility was brought to the attention of the Sheriff's Office in the past 48 hours . However, it unfortunately seems unlikely as there are reports that he was not carrying a phone for the...

The hiker known as "Denim", "Mostly Harmless", or just "Harmless" hiked southbound on the AT in 2017. He started in NY and hiked to Springer Mountain, arriving sometime in December, with plans to...

My biggest issue is one that was barely mentioned.

Keep your dogs on a leash if it is required. If leashes are not required make sure they are 100% trained on how to handle themselves on trail. I...

I did lot of calculating on this for a hike last year. Postage would run closer to $250-$300 using 13-16 large flat rate boxes each consisting of a 5-6 day food supply, which cost around $19 each....

I haven't hiked any of the trail north of NY, but I'm fairly certain that if utilizing mail drops, one could hike the trail for less than $1500 if they could hike it in less than 4 months. (total...

This has already been discussed previously. Bottom line, they were knowledgeable and well prepared and left weeks after the Crawfords.

If you have watched the Crawford family's videos of their...

I stopped giving them clicks about 2 weeks ago.

I think some people are making incorrect assumptions about Bill. He stated that he sent an email alerting the GSMNP to the families presence during...

That’s the hostel a guy was shot and killed a few years ago. I stayed there but put up my tarp in the back. Some of the guests were ill . They had a big hikers feed and AA meetings .

Thom[/QUOTE]...

It was established over three weeks ago that the information provided by the individual on trail journals was incorrect. I am just as glad now as I was then that the reports turned out to be false....

I don't know what happened in my last post, I always type it in a notepad so I don't accident erase it before sending. So here it is again.



I decided to catch up on their videos. Quite a few...

I decided to catch up on their videos. Quite a few things I've taken away but want to avoid writing a book about it.

As they neared the Smokies I was really glad to see that they weren't...

For me, I guess you could say I 'lucked out' and got laid off a couple weeks before my first child was born. I've been a stay at home father ever since while my wife put in the hours at work. Now she...

Last post should say, that I'd love to be able to do what Tipi does. I don't know that I'd be able to though. Seriously, the weight you carry Tipi is pretty hardcore. I've moved about at far as...

Oh, I'd absolutely be able to do what Tipi does. Maybe not all the time, because I really like doing more miles, but man would it be nice to just move at a slower pace once in a while and to be able...

Tipi, I pretty much agree with almost everything you said in the last post.

The issue I have with it is, that it just isn't applicable to the OP. The poster is leaving in a month also stated that...
