My hiking partner and I will be up on Springer that Tuesday morning! We're just killing time over the next week and a half 'till we get there.

ive been using bleach for most of this past year with no problems. i met a bunch of sobos this year that turned me on to it. one alterntive i want to to try is grapefruit seed extract. a friend of...

Approach Trail: Yeah
This is round two after starting out last year and breaking my foot a month into my trip

There are a few places right at the trail crossing of rt 206, but to get to anything like a grocery store is like a 2 mile walk. 6 days of food shouldnt be too much of a hassle to deal with. I...

the 3000 c.i. volume is perfect for me. i can carry all my gear +5/6 days of food and be maxed out on space. Thats just where i want it. if i had more room, id probably just want to bring more junk...

generoll shuttled me from dahlonega to the amicalola earlier this year. +1 for Gene!

ive been carrying a blast thirty, which i have used for a straight month on the trail. I started a thru hike in march, but broke my foot and am currently waiting to get back out. I plan on using...

pages - i was not. i go by the name firehands on the trail

thats killer news!
i started march 26 this year, but i broke my foot a few miles north of roan mountain/ elk park a few weeks ago. Im home for a little while while i heal up, and decided im going...

can anyone tell me how many hikers have come through harpers ferry by now?

the reason im interested is that i plan on doing some trail magic in the northern part of the trail in PA, and i just...

Wel, its official. All my plans are set to start my hike. Thanks to WB member generoll, i now have a shuttle going from the Gainesville Amtrak station to Amicalola Falls SP.

Question is,...

the one problem ive had with cycling tops and backpacking are the pockets on the back. from a fabric standpoint, they are great, but anytime ive carried a pack, the pockets have chafed my lower back....

i just purchased my ticket to gainesville. its an overnight ride from philly that gets there around 7am. i plan on starting that day with a shuttle to the trailhead

that one "vertical" section is closer to highpoint than it is to the falls. its just that one bit and isnt bad.

Rusty: i bet youre right about him cursing the wind. this little breeze is gonna...

that section of trail is pretty easy. its mostly a flat ridge walk with a few small dips to go through. the campsite is pretty good too. never stayed there, but ive walked by it plenty of times

see ive been having trouble getting to sleep at night instead of getting up too early. whether im doing something like working on gear, or just rolling in bed thinking about planning, gear and this...

im a jim beam kinda guy myself. last time i packed it in, i got pretty cozy with a small bottle on the 4th of july last year. maybe a little too cozy for my own good.

we sell the ski version at the ski shop i work at, and i have a bunch of the ski and hike styles. they rock pretty hard and its all i use anymore (especially cause i get them cheap hehe). im about to...

getting yelled at by your boss to stop cruising hiking forums on the clock

i was just poking around the MLD website killing time and i came across the 3.7 pack. has anyone else read what mld has to say about it? i got a good laugh out of it

go check out the instructions...

get a platy bottle. its two liters, it weighs 1.3 oz dry and rolls up or stores flat so it doesnt take up room in your pack when empty. if i wanted to carry more water, id buy one of these. i bought...

thats a 9 oz bug net that you would suspend from inside the tarp. that sucker should give you...

thats the total UL thing to do. plus, water is totally over rated

i made the switch from a filter to drops for the last trip i went on. it saves so much weight, and takes up a percentage of the space. i kept my spare bandanna handy in case the water source was a...

after looking at them a little closer last night that was one issue i thought might come up. it looks like ill be getting microspikes.
