I have used Aqua Mira since 1999 and never been sick while hiking. I first learned and tried it as I hiked the AT, since the outfitter did not have replacement parts for my PUR Hiker filter. I...

Check your photo software that was either bundled on the computer when you bought it or photo software that you added since a lot of the photo programs have a screen saver utility that will allow you...

:jump Jeff,

I have had 3 pairs of them and have never had a problem. I have worn each pair over 900 miles and the last ones I am still wearing, even though the don't look good and nearly worn...

:rolleyes: I am sure you will get a lot of help with these questions and I won't even guess about the switching of shoe and the width sizes, other than to say, maybe try it prior to starting your...

Miss Janet,

I tried to send you a private message but the message I got back was your private message box is full.. so I could not send you the email. I do not have your current email address...

Miss Janet,

Yes, I remember Bible Bill and Faith Walker very well. In fact I usually get a letter or card from the every Christmas, however this Christmas I don't think I did. I will check... ...

I agreee with MOWGLI16 about the paper getting wet, even as careful as I was I still had a few times where the paper got wet either from rain, or sweaty hands and ect. However, it may be worth it to...

:confused:

You should be able to find them most anywhere the dehydrators are sold but I could be wrong. I did find mine at Walmart where I bought the dehydrator, however I did have to ask,...

:clap Jo Jo,

Glad know that you are doing great since I missed you at Trail Days the last couple of years.. I had followed along with you in your journal when you hiked from Florida up to VA...

Tracyyam,

I just simply measured out what I would use in one meal and put in a zip lock bag. I experimented with the meat to find out just how much I would need to make chili or how much I...

Chef,

I dehydrated meat for my thru hike in 99 and it worked great. I had some of the meat until last year and it was still good. I think if you read the thread about dehydrated hamburger it...

I have not used the bleach except in an emergency a couple of times so I can't really say how well it works. I used Aqua Mira on my AT thru hike, however several people I know did use the Clorox...

Since I thru hiked in 99 also, I have backpacked at least a few weeks every year since. In 2000 I hiked 2 weeks back on the AT, then in 2001 I did the approach trail to Springer Mt, which I never...

I can't actually recommend any dehydrator over another, however I have used the cheap American Harvester with good result for meat. I have dried ground beef, roast beef, chicken as well as chili and...

Hikerhead,

Glad to know that you had some great days hiking and the weather was great. I am sure Kerosene is enjoying it. Thanks for the info.... Have a great day, however I am sure it would...

Hikerhead,

I hope you and Kerosene have a great hike. I hiked with him last year and he is a great guy.. Happy Trails........ Ed

I guess I was very lucky that I never had to endure 3 blizzards while hiking the AT. In the both of my hikes in late March and early April, I saw less than an inch of snow both times and it was...

Sorry about the typo, I meant 10 times that amount.... I would venture to say I knew of a couple of people that really did spend over $20,000 or more on the hike. Sorry about that.... my typing...

Miss Janet,

Glad to know that everything is working out for you and the AT hikers. Thanks for the update and you are a wonderful sincere person, and deserve the very best in this life. You...

I did my thru hike in 99 at $2000 for the entire trip which did include maildrops and some zero days. However, it goes back to the words to hike your own hike... it takes planning and a desire to...

As Kerosene has stated I doubt that they have the "standby" offers anymore. Back in the 60's & 70's it was very common to get a seat on a plane as a standby, which was usually about half price the...

Yes, it is a very good book to read. I read it several years ago and still have it around here somewhere. I may look it up and read it again. I grew up in West Virginia and know many of the...

Congrats !!!!! A-Train... I am sure you have some wonderful memories that will last you a life time and you will never be the same.. Congratulations.....

Sincerely,
Ed

For me Coca Cola the first night, then Crystal Light Lemonade mixed with Gatorade the following nights. During the day nearly always water straight out of the springs. Cool Clear Water fresh from...

I would second TNJED's choices of hikes. I think they are the two best location of the AT in the South, which due to the time of the year, I would recommend. I have hiked those sections 3 times...
