Just to give you a heads up - NJ Bear Hunt is open from October 10-15, for archery and muzzle loading guns. I think you'll be out afterwards, but you might have to deal with either traumatized...
a couple of years ago I was attempting a thru-hike of the AT - had felt some pain in my ankle during pre-hike training, but ignored it. I have RA, so pain is pretty much a given, as is ignoring it. ...
I don't believe that withdrawal symptoms would be considered a mental illness - it is a physical response to the alteration of body chemistry which occurs when a substance which the body has become...
I have been reading the threads about Gerry Largay for years now, and I have never commented - but I've been thinking about this, and felt that this comment would be helpful for some to understand...
Thank you so much for putting together this thread! When I hiked, my hiking buddy was a very observant Catholic, and we never seemed to be in a place where we could find a Catholic church for him to...
Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any Official Maps or guides for the trail - there are only relatively useless pamphlets that the Parks Dept. puts out, which (as of a few months ago) were out of...
I live very close to the Batona Trail - my husband has thru-hiked it, and I've hiked the whole thing in sections. . . at this point, it's well-marked, you will find other people on it during the day,...
This cookset was purchased new and used only twice - it includes two 1-liter saucepans (1 graduated, 1 ungraduated), an 18 cm frying pan, aluminum kettle (0.6 L), windshields (upper and lower), a...
I think that I'd be more worried about the black flies this time of year.
If I were you, I'd take a day or two zero, and if it is not significantly better, go to a podiatrist. I got off the trail last year at the same place with the same type of trouble - long story...
Have a great trip! My husband hiked it a few weeks ago, and he had a great time!
Looks like the Deuter pack and cover are sold as well!
Snow Peak stove sold!
Also forgot to add - have a Deuter Rain Cover III 45-90L size - never used. Retails for $35 - will sell for $25 - or $10 if you are buying the Pack it goes with listed above!
Well, I have more great stuff that I can't use anymore, all used once or twice or not at all!
1. Deuter Women's Act Zero 45+15 pack - light green, missing stupid Deuter flower thingey, clean,...
Smartwool shirts now sold!
As to riding a bike - to be honest, I haven't actually ridden one since I was 16 and started driving. . . although DH is getting me a nice bike for Valentine's, I think....
The TENDON tore, not the foot! My goodness - I'm really, really thankful the foot didn't get severed! The sad thing is that I thought that the pain and swelling were due to my RA, so I kept hiking...
Looks like water filter is sold!
it's a pump filter - one tube has a pre-filter on the end which goes into the water, and there is a pump in the middle which has the filter apparatus inside it - I believe that it is ceramic, but...
ah - but check on the tarptent website for the prices for the carbon fiber pole upgrades, with added crosspole!
Tarptent and Serrana both taken - Tarptent more expensive than price quoted above because of upgrades to poles - wanted people to know that I'm not trying to "get one over" on you!
Hello all - some of you may remember my posts from last year discussing my upcoming AT thru-hike attempt - well, long story short - I made it to Pearisburg, and had to stop due to injury. To add to...
My husband and I hiked from Northville to Piseco a few weeks ago - the trail was a bit muddy (shocking, I know), but fine. A few blowdowns made for a couple of tricky spots where we lost the trail,...
I took the new Moment DW with me on my longish section this year - basically, I liked it - for a tent that only has two anchor points, it was remarkably sturdy as long as you pitched it the right...
I just got back from a largish section of the AT - I brought along a Nikon AW100 - that thing was bombproof!!! It lived in the belt pocket of my pack, and got wet, and banged around, and all sorts...
