This pic is of Little Mitten and by gosh she's wearing a hood.

Was another fellow looking for information about the Iron Mountain Trail in another thread just recently if you have a chance.

I'll accept that turning around would have been the most viable option had we not quickly found the hut using the GPS. To be clear, we weren't...

Weather was perfect! I didn't see another person on the Iron Mt. Trail (expected) nor the AT (unexpected). I made it to Damascus off the IMT...

For people that are not accustomed to navigating while hiking/climbing/backpacking in foul conditions it's easy to forget that some of the most...

He didn't say he was thruhiking, not everyone is a thruhiker on this site. Looking back at my old trip planners, I have carried a T-rest chair...

There is a river water trail near me. 2 or 3 weeks after every memorial day I do a canoe trip and collect abandoned tents, broken chairs and trash....

That is a great pic, sorry, back to hoodies

One of the whites specific rules anytime of the year is if northbound on the AT in the whites, if in doubt escape to your left. From Moosilauke to...

Thanks for sharing this pic of chairs and/or discarded chairs. It reminds me of my experiences--- Saw this one on Doublecamp Creek which...

I left camp in crocs because just a couple hundreds yards further I had to cross this creek---

I've also been wanting a chair for camp. The 'lazy boy' works great on the trail but in camp, most everything comes out of the pack and it looses...

Hoodies collect snow and rain. I prefer a balaclava from my pocket as needed.

This is what I plan on doing as well. Especially for the whites and just having that confidence for navigation and text. As I too am a solo hiker and...

I'm the opposite. When things are going well I keep on keeping on. When things are not going well I seek some time alone on the trail.

One big caveat is the time of the year you are planning. The Northern Long Trail holds snow and mud and bugs a couple of weeks later than the...

Myself and another LT SOBO hiker used the North Troy B&B to stay at the night before, and got a ride to within about a mile of the northern terminus...

You are hiking in crocs? That is awesome!

Exactly... maybe an age thing for me, but there is a time of day range in the early/mid afternoon that my body gets lethargic no matter what my...

Until my first trip to the Whites, I'd never experienced a strong desire to have a GPS available for backcountry navigation. Up near the Madison hut...

I went SOBO. Rented a car and dropped it off at Burlington airport. Then got a shuttle to the northern terminus.When i finished I walked the Pine...

I had a break-in into my unlocked car; the police said sometimes the crooks will break the windows any how just to let you know they were there. ...

Had interesting convo about this with a shuttle driver, she was saying how most break-ins are at the parking areas on the main roads with easy and...

I met a hiker coming the opposite direction and I stopped to ask him a question. I realized he didn’t hear me as he was pulling his headphones out to...

I had to turn around on a Mt. Whitney summit attempt a few years ago in May because of this scenario on the approach trail. Going too close to the...

I’m rarely bored when hiking solo which means you are alone with your thoughts for hours at a time. When the scenery is not novel or changing, then...

Yep, don't just leave it on the side of the trail when you tire of carrying it, like somebody did on the Laurel Highlands Trail. I don't know the...
