backcountry 700ml ti pot and spork, sometimes a small folding cup.

Osprey Aura 50 or 65. I freaking love this bag; it has great ventilation and decent hip padding (I don't tend to need extra padding). I especially like the 65 because of the sleeping bag compartment,...

Hey Mainah! I've been looking for someone from back home to hike with (just turning 20), but I don't think I'm going to be able to get my act together for a March thru-hike. I'm in school now, which...

Hey everybody,

I have been looking into a bunch of different stoves for my AT hike. In the past I have always borrowed my friend's whisperlight, but have never had to refuel in town. Looking at...

As a shelter, RR is just okay, but the river itself is amazing!

if you follow the trail down to the water, and walk down the river about 100 ft, there is an awesome swimming hole. three good...

I feel that it is important to have SOMETHING dry for camp. Hypothermia is the number one killer of outdoorsmen and keeping things like your armpits and groin area dry is really important to a...

i've talked to a OBGYN about this and here are the facts, coupled with my experience.

DR'S ADVICE
YAz is great if it works for you. There is no harm in skipping your inactive pill week. The...

I like the osprey packs. i'm "brawny" i guess, so my favorite thing about the osprey aura 65 is that it keeps the weight up and doesn't use my butt as a shelf. still, trying things out is the best...

I really like to hydrate and was thinking of the 3L. No problems with the quality or maintenance?

I've got my TH planned for 2011. I have to start really early because i'll be starting school at the end of August and I can only defer one year. My shelter of choice is a hennessy hammock, and...

Wow. you guys are so great! All i'm hearing from my friends (and I go to a prep school) is how crazy i'd be to take a year off. I REALLY want to go to college but my mom just thinks i'm never going...

i definitely want to NOBO first. i live in maine and have done the whites/khatadin thing. i wouldn't mind leaving that to the end because transportation is easier.

I keep hearing more and more about Platypus water systems. Are they as great as they sound? i've never hiked with handsfree water but I'm thinking i'll enjoy it more. their gravity systems seem to...

if you sleep on a pad in your hammock it will insulate you the same way that it insulates you from teh ground. In a tent, without a pad teh ground absorbs your body heat. The function of the pad is...

So, I'm a senior in high school and really into hiking. Recently I've been completely obsessed with planning my thru hike but i still want to go to college. I thought of taking a spring and fall...

The Aura 50 or 65 is the best pack in the world. the Ventilation is KEY. Nice organizational packs without too much weight. Everything about the design is smart. i used to have a kelty and then...

high fives for slow hikers! what's the point of running with your head down?

If you propose to her when she is all sweaty and smelly she'll know that you really love her. haha. good luck!

I have friends that swear by skirts. Still, a lot of them like wearing bike shorts underneath anyway. I prefer full coverage and am thus a skort person, but it's all personal preference. don't go...

I'm pretty heavy myself but going your own pace and perseverance are the only important things. After a week your legs tighten up and you're pretty good to go. You tend to feel really hungry at...

the osprey also has an amazing ventilation system. Air flow wise it is better than a frame pack.

My favorite pack is the OSPREY Aura 50 or 65. I feel like a lot of women's packs (not gregorys as much) ride too low and just end up sitting on the shelf that is my butt. I love being organized, but...

My favorite solution is don't have my period. I have a condition called endometriosis that causes extreme menstrual pain all month long, even when I'm not on my period. i found that birth control...
