I guess I should do my part since I have read almost every post.
I've gone from checking once a day to 3 or 4 times, just so I don't have to read 10 pages at a time!
Isn't the "traditional" ie, intended route SOBO anyway? I know that people generally do NOBO but I recall reading the trail was invisioned to travel from ME south, not the other way.
BMT is very nice, secluded.
Or pick up where you left off on the AT.
We carry 2 bars a day each (Bear Naked or Clif), a handful of mini slim jims and fun size snickers, and some trailmix.
I agree that the call was not warranted, but were the half a dozen plus calls BACK that he received warranted? If they decided it wasn't an emergency, shouldn't that be the end?
As he put it,...
I know this is a few months old but I couldn't let it go.
If someone is going to shoot you because of an accident, that same psychopath would stab you, beat you up, impale you on a hiking pole,...
Man, I hope she turns up, it will be hard to find her because she clearly doesn't just stick to well blazed trails. I looked at her blog for a bit and she is very experienced, but if she was out by...
We buy ours from the Mormons. The LDS canneries sell #10 cans (might be bags now) for super cheap, I want to say it was like $5 (we haven't been in a while).
Pretty good too and works out for us...
Adventure lover wraps them both up in a nice neat package, good choice!
I don't have AZ hiking experience but I worked in the engine room on a carrier in the Navy in the gulf. Our space was about 125 under the vents, 140 and sometimes 150 in areas with poor ventilation....
I bought these for the family, but they haven't shipped yet. The price was right and the weight was right. They are small, but that seemed like a better solution for hammocks.

Columbia makes PFG (performance fishing gear) convertible pants that are quite a bit cheaper than hiking pants and offer about the same features.
Well, nice to meet you, kinda.
I've gone in and out of several hobbies (addictions?) over the years and the process is always the same. When I start gathering interest I obcess over things and learn as much as I can. Things that...
First time we spent the night in the Three Forks area it stormed at about 4pm. Official overnight temp was 64 but I was freezing my butt off. Last weekend was unseasonably cool and was down to about...
We only do overnights right now and I am sure our calorie intake is too low so I won't recommend foods, BUT, we hike with our daughter who is also 12 and can be a human food disposal as well.
Our...
I got our squeeze at walmart as well, I was surprised their price was better than amazon and REI. It is just a single bag, a 32oz, though.
I use this Amazon 5600, it's cheap, small, and so far we aren't taking long journeys. It will charge an iPhone 5 2.5 times....
My wife and I both liked the flower on the Deuters because it did stand out, rather than rifling through bags looking for the tags.
It is removable, right?
We haven't run into that yet, but we are also pretty new to hiking so probably wouldn't know what to take offense to anyway. The funny thing is, out on the trail I have been asked for directions...
I was surprised when a guy asked me about the BMT this weekend. Then we saw 7 Saturday on the trail and 7 again on Sunday (different folks), one was an older couple, no gear (besides the guy's 357),...
We used to disc golf and played a lot in the summer so the heat doesn't bother us. Christy's UV allergy makes it difficult, because as it gets hotter the UV levels go up too. Luckily, walking the...
I probably should have turned the stove 90 degrees in hindsight.
You didn't happen to stay at No Name Gap did you?
