You can download offline maps to Google maps. While probably not the best for offroad usage, it is a good way to have a map when cell signal is spotty. When I travel out of my local area, I download...
The GPS is satellite driven. The App is probably cell phone data driven. However, you can download maps onto phones using certain apps. Google maps (for driving) gives that option.
Leave them alone. They cost somebody time and money to put up, and they have some reason for it. As other posters said, it could be trees marked to save, or it could be diseased trees marked to...
Minute rice works that way.
Way too much clothes, IMHO. Do you really need two pairs of gloves and mittens? I can see one pair and mittens.
Also, do you need two sleeping pads?
I definitely agree with Southbound. Then you go down the Stairway to Heaven rather than up it.
The Cheaha Wilderness is great. I've done the Pinhoti from Adams Gap trailhead to the Cheaha trailhead, as well as some other trails in the area to make loops. A few miles from Adams gap is the...
I think the above is the best advice I've read so far on this thread. Needs to backpack in the cold and in rain.
On the subject of training indoors, a friend of mine swears that the best exercise...
Because it's not approved for use with bears. The EPA says bear spray can only be from 1-2% OC.
Not talking about brands, but about strength of the OC. Bear Spray is limited in OC concentration to a lower level than pepper spray intended for humans. Bear spray is limited to 1-2% OC, while...
Carry a 30-day supply. Find out the chain pharmacies along the trail, and get your doctor to send prescriptions to those chains.
Yes, I know. My point was that those were two different things with different uses. I always have a knife, and it's not for defensive use.
Well, I carry a knife at all times (except in forbidden areas like airports or courthouses). Nothing to do with self-defense or offense, it's just a handy thing to always have to open boxes, cut...
Must be your computer. When I look at it both of my :banana are in sync.
Edit: but in this post they don't seem to be.
Why? What's wrong with the dancing banana?

Well, that is what the murderer's defense was--that he got enraged by the lesbian sex.

The AT is pretty safe. I have never worried about self defense or even seriously thought about being armed while backpacking, and I'm a pro-gun type of guy.
Glad I live in FL, where the above is not necessary. In FL, if someone broke into an occupied dwelling (and yes, tents would count, and there is no requirement that it be secured), it's considered a...
Rust won't hurt you. I scrape anything noticeable off with a spatula, and then just make sure the grate is hot before putting anything on it. I don't really worry about it.
That's close to what I calculated. Per the internet, olive oil has 120 calories per tablespoon which ways 14g. A tablespoon is 0.5oz (fluid ounces).

I just put the filter in a ziplock, and keep it in the sleeping bag with me.
You also need fats.
