In the Great Smoky Mountains NP you are required to hang your canister from the bear cables. They also recommend you hang your entire pack.
I did a quick look and the numbers I found range from 25-33% of homeless have a mental illness. Far from 100%.
Your numbers seem quite high. I call BS on the 100%.
I was in the Smokies last week. I was carrying a bear vault. The ranger at the backcountry permit office told me I still needed to use the bear cables.
I think we need to build more paved roads along with the bridges so more people can safely access these areas.
Here are a few names of people who had an impact on the trail. Jean Cashin, Bob Proudman, Dave Startzell, Pam Underhill. Jean was one of the first paid employees of the then Appalachian Trail...
I did a hike from Pawling, NY to High Point, NJ the middle of May this year. Because dispersed camping is not allowed in much of NY and NJ I spent the night with 6-8 thru hikers or flippers each...
I was going thru some files of slides that I had scanned years ago. I came across one of a sign for Pitman Campground in Baxter State Park. This would probably have been taken around 1978. I googled...
Are you referring to Dennytown Rd or Canopus Lake?
Thanks for all the replies.
The Thru Hikers Companion says there is camping at Dennytown Rd in a group campsite. Far Out says you may need reservations. I cannot find anything on the Fahnestock SP site that explains if...
I was part of an ATC Rocky Top trail crew that built a composting privy at Double Springs Gap shelter and a bunch of sidehill trail near Birch Springs many years ago. The Rocky Top and SWEAT crews...
I did this section in 7 days when I thru hiked in 2010. The thing that I remember the most about this section was the heat. There were lots of rock ledges but not rocky like PA and western NJ. Water...
I had an idea awhile ago that if I did another AT thru hike I would do a flip over two calendar years but within a 12 month period. My thought was to start around Sept. 1 from Harpers Ferry and head...
I was thinking about hiking from High Point to Pawling this October. I might consider a mid May or early June hike.
The Colorado Trail has been on my to do list for some time. I was thinking I'd do it in 2023 or 2024. I may have to rethink my plans. I have hiked the AT twice, the Long Trail, and the recently the...
I ran into a guy in Rutland who was section hiking the LT using a small pickup and dirt bike. He gave me a ride into town from the LT Inn.
I did my first real overnight backpacking trip at Zaleski back in 1975. You can access the tunnel on the new Moonville Rail Trail. I don't know for sure if you can access it officially from the...
I used one on my NOBO AT thru hike 11 years ago. Only once did I have a problem. Another hiker I was with ditched his filter for a Steripen in Hanover. Neither one of us suffered any water borne...
My Deuce of Spades is made from aircraft grade aluminum not titanium. Might be easier to cut.
I was working on trail crew two years ago near Standing Indian and the USFS trail guy came by one morning. He said that the Nantahala NF was looking into mandating bear canisters in their forest...
I have worn a Mountain Hardware button up short sleeve shirt for the past 7-8 years. It has some spf protection, dries fast and cleans easily. Plus I think it is a little classier than a standard t...
Thanks. That is what I figured.
Do the adapters support fast charging?
