Well...I guess the beach is out :(
Thanks for all the advice. He is crate trained. The crate folds up so it will fit in my car, so I will take the advice and take it for the "just in case". He sleeps in it every night and while I'm...
So, let's see...
1. "My post may sound negative" Yes, you are right there, but you knew that.
2. "Taking a dog anywhere is a nuisance" You are entitled to your opinion, but I take him...
No disrespect, Gambit, but almost none of your post reflects my situation.
Maybe I need to clarify further..
I'll be in a state park and day hikes of less than 5 miles, all on sand surfaces. ...
Not AT related, but I have to start somewhere...
...My soon to be 6 1/2 mo old beagle pup and I are going camping at a state park about 2 hours away in mid Sept. I've never camped/backpacked with...

Like others, being around people escalates my anxiety. I hike alone.
It was the red empty battery symbol. Had to charge for 20 min or so in the car before it would even turn on.
The phone is a 6S but was powered off once I arrived at my destination Saturday lunchtime (fully charged from my drive) and I didn't turn it on again until Sunday morning, 8ish, when I was setting...
Went on a winter trip this weekend (car camping, so I guess this is sorta off topic). Stayed warm (that's positive!). The nice thing about car camping is ready access to firewood if you have $$$$. ...
I live in Apex (just west of Raleigh). Hanging Rock State Park is exactly 2 hrs from me. Fun, great workout. Stone Mountain State Park is a little further but worth it. Love Eno and Raven Rock,...
:). Well I guess you are right about that! The stream crossing comes the second day of a four day hike. At worst I can turn around then and it will still be a four day hike, just a more sucky out...
Thanks to you both. I can't post where I will be going for safety reasons. However you have given me some peace of mind. I have been a little nervous crossing some of the streams in early spring...
I'm heading to the Smokies next week. I'll get there on Wednesday. I only have one stream crossing for the long weekend (without a bridge). Nate is supposed to pass through there on, it looks...
Don't scare me, Mudsock! :eek:
It is interesting that so many of you recommend trekking poles. No one uses them in my area. I have used them in the backcountry but not on these relatively short day hikes. I use them in the...
I have taken a four year hiatus from backpacking (due to family problems). I just started day hiking. I am putting in the miles as much as I can locally, but I'm having a problem. My hands swell...
How do I get there?
I just lost my job, and I'm thinking of going southbound. It's a lifelong dream, and now seems to be the perfect time. Thanks for the help.
I'm going to the Smokies tomorrow...more worried about the drive than the hike. I'd only planned a lazy 10 miles/ day, still doable in deep snow.
Yay, a Smokies hike in the snow.
Good suggestions, thanks to you all for your help. Looking forward to my trip.
So 10K, what do you anchor your stake to? It just doesn't seem the snow would hold it...unless your digging through the snow to the dirt?
I'm not new to winter backpacking, but I am new to tenting in the winter.
What stakes do you carry to erect your tent in places where there may or may not be snow? I'm heading to the Smokies in a...
I have these for extreme weather conditions

Try them on with your liners, you may need to size up for the extra bulk.
