With any 2 of those 3, soon enough, you'll get the...

You must walk OVER the blowdown. Or float, like Jesus H. Chryst. If you want you hiker soul to remain pure and go to heaven.

Give that man a drink!

Wow. How did you avoid frostbite? :)

Rumor has it Wingfoot has cancelled his plans for a 2005 thru-hike. Oh well. I'd rather hike with Bill.

As far as I can see the only difference between Crocs and Waldies is a strap, right?

Looks pretty suicideal to me. Telling a friend that its the last time you'll ever hear from me, and if I die remember you're a good dude.

If your conscience really bugs you, shop on the internet exclusively. Just make sure the internet seller has an exchange policy in case you order a size too large or small.

Didn't mean to insult anyone, but it's a fact that without a B.A. or B.S., your career opportunities are severely restricted. No matter how bright you are.

Besides that, going to college does...

What's the most common question asked by people who didn't go to college?
Do you want fries with that?

I took the plunge and ordered the Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover, and my first impression was that I'd been suckered. $150 for THIS? The insulation is incredibly thin, especially in the front by your...

Neo, forget about the hiking part for now, you just need you a princess. Throw her in your pack later.



I don't get it. Call me Dense Oak today.

Ohhhhhhhhh?

smells like victory. :D

I suggest we talk more about our actual experiences, rather than our theories. Like a pretty girl, a theory no matter how elegant is an unknown performer until a night in the sack. :D

[QUOTE=The Old Fhart]If you believe that you will be colder in a sleeping bag with more insulating layers on then you also have to believe that you would be colder if you put one sleeping bag inside...

My experience is the same as Lilredmg. I've always been warmer in my down bag with few or no clothes on. I've tried sleeping with polypro layers and wool socks, only to take them off in the middle...

Are there many people on the Georgia section of the trail during the week between Christmas and New Years?

On a cold night I put a Nalgene bottle full of hot water in my bag, like many have suggested. In the morning, I noticed a condensation spot about a foot wide where the hot water bottle had been. I...

Must be like Springer with all the mobs of idiots, plus snow and ice.

Another good trail to bookmark. So many trails, so few years (sigh).

Glad you posted the Great Divide info. As the AT and other trails get more and more crowed, this trail will be a refuge.
