The Section Hiker Blog - a great blog - has this to say about the subject https://sectionhiker.com/diy-wet-ribs-three-sample-projects/
They have a facebook site. Plus there is a little information -only a little information- about this hostel if you do a google search. I'm glad you posted though, because this is a good location that...
I currently own a pair of cf pacer poles with the new snap locks. They are nothing short of fantastic. Although I am always careful with my equipment, I find the pacer cf poles to be very rugged...
Interesting and thoughtful post Trambo. Thanks.
This sites turned into hiker porn. Bad for my concentration.
Actually I'm low to moderate carb throughout the year. While hiking I love, love, love, eating sugar foods. Its fast energy. Makes me feel great. As long as your not grossly over consuming, how can...
The belt on the exos is a problem for some people. It's probably the most common complaint about the exos ( although it's still an extremely popular backpack). But if it doesn't fit it's not the...
I have owned a Mountainsmith lumbar pack for about 4 years. It makes a great day pack, I love the hip belt. But its only day pack in size. It certainly would not work as an overnight pack for me. ...
What time are you going to be in Bristol, Bobbie?. As I said I'll be leaving Johnson City on Friday. As it turns out I will be leaving around 9:00 AM. I checked the thread before I went to bed...
It's not my intention to hijack this thread....but... I'm in Johnson City, Tn. I will be driving to trail days tomorrow, Friday the 19th. I can give one or two people a ride. When I will be...
Yes the owners are extremely helpful. Don't forget to read the brochure that comes with the poles. Pacer Poles are the only poles that come with a how to walk brochure. If you have never used them,...
I use a product called Two Toms sport shield. I get it at amazon. It works great. I was a bit surprised one year when, seemingly out of the blue, I had to deal with chaffing. Just part of the LD...
This thread is very timely for me. It has re-motivated me to get back to dehydrating. Thanks for starting the thread. And Tipi, great stuff as usual.
I also have wide feet and wear custom orthotics due to high arches. Therefore I need, perhaps like you, shoes that are both wide and have a higher volume in the forefoot so my toes don't jam up on...
Your not necessarily late. I have a 2015 Gorilla large size backpack with medium hip I will be offering for sale, probably next week. I am travelling now so can so can't handle the transaction. ...

Thanks. I'll do more research on the Hocking Hills Region. I see there is even a Grandma Gatewood trail. That's cool.
What are your favorite sections? I travel through Ohio each year on my way to norther Mi. I checked out the trail on the internet but did not find a section that appealed to me. One of the great...
And today's news is: pacer poles now come with the lever locking system ( http://sectionhiker.com/).
I purchased my first set of pacer poles last year to replace my black diamond poles and...
Yes the Air lounger does look interesting. In saw one on the internet about 4 months ago before I bought a new hammock.
A quick you tube search shows there are now at least 3 manufactures. Maybe...
Thanks for mentioning the Dr Tom Smith video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PExlT-5VU-Y. Its well worth viewing even if you think your an old time expert. Allot of old time myths debunked by Dr....
La sportiva shoes have a very good reputation. However, they are also considered to be a narrow shoe. There are allot of good shoes in the marketplace. The big question is does it fit, is it...
This is a good question and I'm interested in reading everyone's opinion on the subject. All I can say is that maybe I'm a wimp, or maybe it's because I'm originally from a very cold part of the...
I always love these stories. Sure he is not a violent criminal yet he is a big time thief who left his family in dire straights. He is interesting but deserves no sympathy in my opinion. I would...
