Anyone watch the next season in Venezuela? Tried searching for a thread and didn't find one.

Everyone have no fear, the government will take care of everything.

Unfortunate, but Bearpaw makes a good point in that he'll be a lot more prepared for his next attempt as a result of his experiences.

Excellent point! So many of us idealize memories for reasons that have nothing to do with the ultimate carefree utopia in cherished childhood memories.

Well said. But don't worry, it won't be long before a curmudgeon walks up the trail and looks down their nose at you because they chose to shun technology. (or technology shuns them?)

Oh yes! I forgot Fleet Foxes!
Everyone should give a listen to "The Protector"

The OP wasn't self-evaluating, though. The observation was that others are increasingly becoming more dependent on technology than the OP deemed necessary.

I do share the OP's sentiment,...

Definitely didn't expect to see A, B, ?? Profit on WB! Thanks for the chuckle! :D

To each their own. While I enjoy some hard rock every now and then, I make double sure to create a playlist that prevents any heavy music from playing when I'm in the woods.
My trail playlist looks...

Looks like he makes them. These aren't from the trail.

I do it deliberately because the mass majority doesn't appreciate the effort. When I have friends over that do appreciate the effort, I go the extra mile. Three hours of laboring over the perfect...

One point worth noting is that most dictation apps that do voice to text utilize data to transmit to a server for conversion to text. If you're on airplane mode, you'll have to type it in manually....

Might have picked up an old box. I've bought Bubba Burgers that were a healthy pink right out of the box. They do shrink down and are loaded with fat, but there's no easier way to fill up the bellies...

Haha I've been waiting for someone to make a thread titled "Why do drinkers hike?"

Prove it, then. Say "I don't want him to fail. I want him to complete his hike."

I want him to complete this hike, in any amount of time, almost entirely because you so very desperately want him to fail.

The creation of a thread does not implicate possession. Everyone is free to comment. Peeing on everyone's leg won't prevent anyone from sharing their thoughts and ideas.

Couldn't agree more with you or Dogwood. Hoping I don't become so abrasive when I become an old goat.

Just picked one up on Steep and Cheap for $59.99 so we'll find out soon enough. Doesn't seem to be a very well known brand but on first inspection, build quality is great. Going to adjust the fit...

I suspect that those that use the trail as a remote place to party without scrutiny is what compelled this thread. It's certainly a huge annoyance to deal with revelry when you're looking for solace,...

The trail I have in mind has a shallow creek (about 8-12 feet across and no more than a foot deep) that crosses a dozen times in a 4 mile section. I generally take socks/boots off and cross barefoot,...

Sounds like something I need to YouTube! interesting

What's everyone's preferred method for crossing a small creek?


Take off boots & socks and go barefoot? If the creek crosses the trail often, you're going to spend a lot of time taking boots...

35mi/day for a year? Even with a huge amount of luck, it would be nearly impossible.

Gorgeous! It was fierce cold up in the Boone, NC area yesterday with the wind.
