You know I have to wonder about that. Sure did not seem like a non-profit when I was there. Then again I am not so sure I would know one when I saw it. Not knowing what they do with the $$ and all.

I am not so sure people are focusing on the people making a donation as much as the business doing the asking.
Again I will not give my opinion on the morality of the Gofundme. It dose seem that people find it to be in bad taste. That is just as much a valid complaint to them as getting bad service would be...
This makes no sense at all. So if I go to a hamburger joint and get great frood I should shower them with praise. On the other hand if I get crappy service I should keep my mouth shut so as not to...
I will not give my opinion on the morality of this but I will give my experience after having stayed there earlier this year. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I did enjoy my stay when I...
All I am trying to get at is that training before a thru-hike should be one priority people think about. It was a big mistake that I made. I know people have hit the trail out of shape and made it...
Lol not a week. It took me 12 days of hiking not counting zero days to get to Franklin.
That is just what it came down to. It was a big disappointment at the time. I remember sitting on that old tree just after the GA/NC border and just felt like I was nothing. I had done all this...
As someone who dropped out this year I hate hearing "Its just walking". Sorry but the trail is a lot more than just a walk in the woods. Sure if you are already in shape it will not be to bad for...
I am going back in 2018 first of March to mid March start date is what I am aiming for. I made an attempt this year and made it just over 100 miles. I was too fat. I know people bigger than me have...
Thanks I can't wait to start. Yeah I plan to start off slow. I am 6'3 285 lbs. just found it a bit jarring.
I just got into Georgia. Stopped into Neel Gap on the way to the hotel room and saw a few hikers. So far has been a great time. Did have one jerk tell me I was too fat to be a thru-hiker. Guess you...
I'm with you! Tuesday morning for me. I head out in the morning for Georgia. Going to be a great year!
I have been a fan of the Belvita soft bake oatmeal breakfast bars. They taste good and seem to stick with me longer than pop tarts.
ULA Circuit.
S'mores are the best! Just wish I could find a lightweight battery run toaster.:)
100% this. Hit the nail on the head.
If you all want to look at my ugly mug. I started this for my family.

That is what I said when I first got it. (Short trips only.) But I cut an extra 15 oz from my base weight to make up for the pad and will be taking it on my thru-hike. My full pack weight with food...
I fell in love with the Sea to Summit Comfort Plus. Not for the gram counters that is for sure But I have never got a better nights sleep with any other pad. The water bed effect of other pads make...
I live in Cincinnati Oh but am heading out on the 28th to hit the trail on the 1st. If you find yourself leaving sooner I am sure we could give you a ride.
Lol I am so glad I already have a trail name. Knowing me I would end up with something like (Trips on Poo) or (Sleep killer). Now that my nerves have calmed down I really am not stressing the snoring...
Don't forget that "real hikers" are the only creature that follow LNT. Why? Because they hover 1/2 an inch over the trail so that they don't even leave footprints. Majestic creatures they are. I have...
A "real hiker" never heads out with anything more than 5lb fully loaded pack. Never covers less than 25 miles a day. And can talk to the animals. They never gets lost, always cowboy camps, and never...
It is good to see that I am not the only one questioning things. And I think you are all on to something. We are about to throw ourselves out of our comfort zones for 5-6 months. Now is the perfect...
