Like pretty much ever facet of backpacking, filtering H2O (or not) is a personal choice. I carry a sawyer and do filter most of the time. There are times at some springs I do not choose to filter,...
I agree with Chef4 on the nice to have grill facilities. One thing I could not determine from the website is when all the camp stores re-open. For what is worth, In years past those camp stores (i.e....
I have carried my mini leatherman squirt ps4 for years. Not sure if it is even made now. It has a knife blade, a file blade, scissors, 2 sizes of screw drivers and folds open with a pair of pliers....
[QUOTE So what was your favorite of the forests you've been to? What's next on your list to explore?[/QUOTE]
I'd Have to say at this point really 2 - Gila and Monongahela. Gila being my first real...
Interesting thread and nice web site. This did get me to thinking about which ones I have been too. Being a Virginian both the GW and TJ are on the list as I have hiked, camped and as a yonker back...
Happy Birthday and thanks for being there. Thank you to Rick and the mods over the years for keeping this site going. I joined in 2004. I was a member of Wingfoot's site near it's end. Joined SGT...
In good weather (no rain), even when cold ---- I go out and stargaze and do my business. Bad weather it a gatorade bottle. As others have said clean well, at the end of my trip I use a bleach and...
Remember it is your hike. Enjoy it on your terms, and have a great time.
Tipi - thanks for the trip report, and always good job on the photos. How is your thumb doing?

I too am still on this journey. Although heavy to some folks way of thinking, right now I really like my EXPED SYNMAT Hyperlite MW pad at 1 lb and 72"x25.6" and 2.8" thick. But, no second CCF...
Uncovered, under the vestibule, within easy reach.
I concur with Coffee. I would add to that - Like him I have been Hiking Old Rag annually for over a decade. It has become an over-loved trail and I think a permitting system that helps control the...
I have zero issue with Federal Government and State Governments directed closure of Federal and State Properties, and then providing further guidance on social distancing and the use of masks. Both...
Favorite trail singers - Roufus Sidede Towhee (as it was called when I was growing up - now Eastern Towhee), American Robin, Red Tailed Hawk, Wood Thrush, American Gold Finch, Red Shouldered Hawk, to...
Mine arrived today. I wear a large, ordered a large. Fit fine even with some extra covid poundage.
….And we have all seen and/or participated in trail Ballet. Trail Ballet - the moves one makes to stay upright/keep from falling, resembling ballet or dance moves after a trip, stumble, tangle, with...
I agree. I work in the Pentagon (civilian). I am enjoying going into work with my hair length trending back to lengths not grown since the 70s.
Back when I was still in the Army, I was assigned to RAND in Arlington, Va. As I was not assigned to a real Army unit, I was accounted for in a school account, and for purposes of pay, leave and any...
Poled - a fall or a trip after a hiking pole basket is stuck/wedged in some rocks or scree.
Not at all, apparently listening is fundamental, but comprehension is not. This couple has posted their full series of backpacking trips here on WB and nothing they have ever posted has presented as...
….and if the spread of COVID-19 is checked resulting in fewer deaths and those with the illness, it will be in part due to quaranting and exercising good judgement as depicted by the ATC. You can...
I was looking at the River Riders Web site this morning and see that they are a Gold Sponsor of the ATC. There may be an opportunity there.
I've taken a raft excursion here and we stopped on the C & O canal side, maybe 20 to 50 steps from the tow path. So, feasible, yes. I think the issue would be sanctioning of the pick/up and drop off...
