Okay, dumb question here...but does duct tape stick to your skin so well that it rips it off (the skin) when you remove it?
Thanks,
I was beginning to think that there was another dangerous peril out in there them woods that I had to get innoculated against. Glad to hear it's only a mental thing. :D
The A.T. hooks anyone and everyone that is 1st interested in nature and 2nd interested in athletic activities. I had no idea about the A.T. until about 3.5-4 years ago and in 2002 took my first steps...
What you could do is send out the "allcall" and let everyone know that if they want a shirt, send you $$ to your address and a size request. Once you have at least 140 orders and money, then have...
Guess I have a big pack...5000 cu in. my first long trek (4 days) I carried 45 lbs, yes I know, YIKES.
Last summer, down to 40 lbs for 6 days, better...
This summer I hope to carry about 30 lbs...
I've seen my tax dollars spent in worse ways.
No really, if you promise to perform and do perform recruiting activities at trail towns (great idea to get the message out to America) then sure,...
I have to agree, consider how you sleep and consider taking long johns just in case.
Last summer, June, I came up with the same idea and carried a fleece bag only. Unfortunately it got cold up in...
I also own the Eureka Solitaire. It is a nice bivy tent, but I must say, even though I'm only 5'3", it is a little cramped, which doesn't matter if all you have to do in it is sleep. However, I've...

lol, any excuse to hike!
In sandals...do you ever stub a toe? That would be my one concern on a really long and grueling hike. I hiked in sandals once and my one gripe is that they didn't fit my feet well and my foot would...

Down in Fla they wear white sneakers with black socks and then put on a floral print shirt, TACKY.
Last summer I wore sandals with a liner sock. We did the Jacks River trail and were constantly...
We were hiking the Jacks River trail last summer and I was first in line. I went around a bend and walla, there was a black bear walking towards a recently abandoned campsite.
Okay, I know you're...
I admire the ability to take the time away from making the money.
I have a dream to thru-hike once in my lifetime. The rest of my life I hope to make a difference in society, on and off the trail....
How long does it take to rehydrate ground meat (chicken, turkey or beef)?
But isn't this one of the reasons for trail towns? Sheesh, if we have it all up in them there mountains, why would we return to civilization? Perhaps that might be a good thing? :-?
One morning I walked into a coffee shop to grap a cup of java on the way to work. This guy standing at the counter was chatting away about wanting to hike the A.T. this that and the other and of...
The A.T. Conference has a list of shuttlers state by state. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I use Bridgedale hiking socks. With liners I got blisters, without liners no blisters. These socks are great when they get soaking wet too, just take 'em off and wring 'em out and they're dry.

Which marathon you running in May? I ran my first marathon (NYC) in 2002, it was the BOMB!
Good luck to you on that, there's nothing like running 26 miles, 385 yards in a few (or couple) hours. ...
That is FANTASTIC! I must say, I'm a little jealous...good for you. Wow, how are you gonna survive 2004, the a-n-t-c-i-p-a-t-i-o-n :D
Too bad, brain power should be used on more productive things...like how to take over the world :p . That's why dancing bananas are great...never a fuss outa them :banana
Because of work and school, I have little time to read "fun" stuff. So on the trail I always pack a paperback novel. My first year I read "A Walk in the Woods". Other hikers thought I was crazy...I...
I'm all for lite hiking, however, I'm not there yet. What I do dislike is the snobbery that lite hikers seems to have towards non-lite hikers. Case in point, last summer I went on a trip with a few...
