Nobody knows yet whether vaccinated folks will be asymptomatic carriers or not. That is what Dr. Fauci has said. Tulsi Gabbard is not exactly an expert in the field, she has a degree in business...

Vaccines protect us in two ways - at the individual level and the societal level. An individual who gets vaccinated (you for instance :)) will be protected against the virus and be safe from getting...

You are right from what I have read.

I think the jury is still out about whether a vaccinated person can become infected but not ill and yet spread the virus to others. Maybe or maybe not, nobody knows just yet.

Partly true, partly not. Influenza viruses mutate rapidly so the virus that causes this years flu is different enough from last years influenza virus that immunity to last years influenza virus...

Well put. Always be wary of people you perceive as "not right" but creeps can seem normal too.

Up until December, the worse time for the virus in Texas was mid-July last summer. We had a very big surge in cases, hospitalizations and deaths at that time. I hope this spring and summer are much...

Try these simple suggestions, they will probably make a big difference. I have used strips of silicone sealant on both the floor of my tent and on the sleeping pad to keep the pad from slipping...

Texas has decided to alter the CDC vaccine guidelines and vaccinate all folks 65 and older in the next group (1b) after they finish health care workers, nursing homes etc in this first group (1a) to...

Back in the day when everybody wore waffle stompers for hiking, I used Sno Seal on my Vasque boots. I don't remember problems with dirt etc. I think it might be related to the amount you applied to...

Elk were native to Virginia in colonial times. Imagine hiking the AT and hearing elk bugling. How cool would that be?

I appreciate the heads up. I am glad to hear you were able to start the vaccine. It must relieve some of the anxiety and stress health care workers have knowing they will be protected from the...

Any idea how long it will be before you might get the vaccine? Let us know when you get it and how it was if you don't mind.

I think the pandemic has given some folks a lesson about delayed gratification. I hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving.

I decided to remove my post.

I went car camping and fishing in Arkansas and southern Missouri (Beaver, Table Rock, Bull Shoals lakes and Buffalo River) last month. Not too many folks wearing masks in the small towns even though...

I know a lot of people say this but if you wear a mask, social distance etc., etc. I think the odds are in your favor that you can avoid getting it until a vaccine is available. Anyway that is my...

They don't always rattle at all unfortunately.

That's why his brother is always on a leash when he is outdoors. :)

I guess it depends on your definition of "truly dangerous". Any dog who is aggressive toward strangers is potentially dangerous and given the right circumstances that aggression can and will...

I give them extra time to re-hydrate and drain any excess water (usually very little) then fry them crispy. More fragile than frozen or fresh so be gentle. To be honest I have only made them once...

I eat these from time to time and they are pretty good. I keep some in the pantry just in case I get a hankering for hashbrowns.
...

I share your concerns. My hope is by this time next year a significant portion of the population will have been vaccinated against the coronavirus and life and hiking the AT can begin to get back to...

Scary encounter. The jogger is lucky he wasn't seriously injured.

Ramen, 1 cup water, 1/2 packet flavoring, 1 Tablespoon butter, 1 can chicken (Swanson chicken if you can get it). Boil water with ramen until water almost gone, add 1/2 packet flavoring, butter and...
