Whether or not he may or may not be on the AT, stay vigilant. Don't approach anyone that might fit his description. Assume he is armed and dangerous, and report what you saw to FBI or local LEO as...

A little background:

Originally, a buddy and I were planning on starting around the Asheville area for an 8 day trip. We discovered that GSMNP will probably be a better option. WE discovered that Clingmans Dome or...

Greetings all

A buddy and I will be going to NC in August to hike a portion of the AT. We are planning on driving into the Asheville area. Can someone tell me where some good trailheads are near...

I've looked at a few of these places and they seem a bit pricey. Hanging Rock State Park in NC has rentals for $80/ night, but they say its for families only. I'm not looking for anything fully...

Hello all

I'm not sure if this belongs in this forum. If not, mods please move. My girlfriend and I are looking to get away for a week or so at the beginning of May right when school ends just to...

I use them as third and sometimes fourth legs. They help me balance on rough and slick terrain and allow me to check holes without sticking my hand or foot in it. Plus, I have a bad knee so, to me,...

In addition to possibly looking at Copper Canyon, I am also looking at the Canadian Rockies. Can any veteran of those trails give me some insight? Any good vistas, photo spots? Good trails,...

Haha. Funny you should mention that because I saw that very episode yesterday and its what made me decide to research it a little more (of course, the article in Backpacker a few months back did have...

Greetings all
In my annual process of planning my big Spring Break trip, I have decided to look into Mexico's Copper Canyon. I know at least some of my friends at WB have been to one of the...

Ok, so here's the deal: During Spring Break, a friend and I want to do do a backpacking trip somewhere in the western US. We are looking at Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, or Washington. If the...

I am in the market for all new gear. I have a connection at an outdoor suply shop that can get me good deals. I am told they carry Redledge. I have never heard of this company. Does nayone have any...

Hi All
I will be the High adventure Director at a Boy Scout camp in New Mexico this summer. Normally, I hike the Pecos Wilderness with my groups, but I have been informed that due to a possible fire...

You got it.

I'll be doing the LC next month. If you can get transportation to northern CA (It's a good 5-6 hour drive from San Francisco) then go for it. This will be my first time doing this particular trail. I...

Countdown begins to Lost Coast (trip scheduled for March 10-18). Those of you who have done it know that it is primarily along he beach. I pose a question: I can treat fresh water with the best of...

I have not considered transportation, though from what I hear, it is quite pricey. The girl I am walking with will be driving at one end. We have to work on the other end, though I have a few things...

60 miles? Yeah, not a weekend trip. I thought I read it was like 25 miles (maybe that's each way). Thanks for the help.

Ok, so, the way I am seeing things is that is is only going to take a few days to do the Lost Coast. Sounds like I can do it in a weekend. I had planned to take off a week or so. Is there anything...

Hi everyone
I told you that in March, I was sectioning the PCT in California. Well, plans have changed and we have set it in stone that we are doing the Lost Coast. What will the weather be like...

Ooops. My mistake. I probably should have mentioned that I plan on staying there about 9 days and hiking about 7. Thanks for your help. Please keep 'em coming.

Good Morning all
I am taking a trip to California in March to hike a section of the PCT with a friend of mine. She is leaving it up to me to plan this trip. My question to all of you is: Are there...

The problem with this though is that hyponatremia exhibits many of the same warning signs as dehydration (apathy, nausea, confusion, and fatigue) . For someone with common sense, it would be pretty...

Hi All
I am planning on doing my section hike at the end of this summer. My plan right now calls for flying into Manchester Airport (NH). Since I will only be 20 then, I won't be able to rent a car...

I have a pair of Komperdell anti-shock and I really like them. I use the anti-shock feature on the downhills so I have a little bit more support.
