I apologize, I see L. Wolf's profile as: golf.

I apologize, I better go camping more.

Central Park ????

I maintain over 12 miles of trail. Not the AT, but the TT, which is 250+ miles long and connects to the AT at both ends.

I was amazed at how healthy I became on the Thru-Hike. I think all of the exericse and water did me good. My torn foot tendon got so strong that 10 years later and still no problem (had been since...

Ya,

A post like this really showes who really does go out and camp. And who likes to talk about it. I got bear stories that go back to when I was 4.

Sleep with food in your...

Another thru-Hike ?

A Bivy Sac. Lite, no set up. Spend your time hiking !!!

I'm with Geocaching.com!?!

You guys have events? I'm jealous!

On my Thru-Hike I showered at (nearly) every town, about 4 days apart, and sponge bathed often in-between. I liked to be clean, it felt good.

Pennslyvania Rose,
By the time Thru-Hikers get to...

Ahh...Clothes.

Bum, Builder, Bum, Electrician, Bum, Investor, Bum. Not in that order, but all at the same time.

In my 'spare' time I make sure you do not have any complaints while walking through my trail...

Thanks Geeentick,

You sound like the only one who knows what they are talking about, including me!

jdubs,

I do have a cabin not too far out of Harpers Ferry if you need a place to overnight at before starting. Or if there is some other support that I could help with, let me know.

I live at your bottom starting point (Harpers Ferry) and it sure has been warm this year! Around here we can (and do) get snow storms up to mid April. Around here May is the 'perfect' month, in...

I found the long sleeve shirt and long pants to be enough and sent the long underwear home. I wore rain pants in the spring rain and when the wind made me cold in all but the hottest part of the...

casanoah,

Neosporin + pain relief in a cream base.

I started out with alcohol, but found that I needed only the Neosporin. A little overkill for most things but I only wanted to carry what I...

Skylark,

I know just what you mean. Winter blues, how to test stuff without spending a cold night out.

I installed two nice large screw eyes into the wall and several screws into the wood...

I bought soft extended wear contacts just for my Thru-Hike. I basically wore them full time, changing them out about once every week when I was in town. I thought I would wear sunglasses a lot on...

Thanks Hog,

Good to hear what a Past Thru-Hiker would recomend.

Sleepwalker,be careful,

I am still looking for one Past Thru-Hiker to recomend Thru-Hiking with a Hammock.

I am a hammock camper (but not like the super hangers you find here) and I carried a...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT CUT THE RED WIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(thanks,Patrick)

Heck, I've cut em all up, I even poked holes in my first one to drain the water when sleeping in a...

I must say that on my Thru-Hike the Cat pleased me enough (for both ends, but not in summer) that last year when I went to replace it (my 94 Cat is tired) I found myself buying the newer version Cat...

Still not one single past Thru-Hiker?

No past Thru-Hiker hammock lovers???

I wonder why................???????????

Baxter State Park in Maine was where I wanted my hammock the most! Why,...

Heather,

They tought all this stuff to me in the '60s in boy scouts.

First they tought us to look at the ground and pick a High Spot. Then they tought us to pitch the tent...

I think you will be fine with that set up. You won't need it for long, and you will not need that much in Maine as by then you will be in top shape.

The coldest temps? Just a minunit, let me go...

Z,

I found that I was walking (therefore warm) or getting into my sleeping bag.

I started the train trip on March 13th, arriving at Blood Mtn on the 17th. I started out with long johns, 2...
