OP is from Atlanta. I would be more concerned there than anywhere on the Trail.

Hitching, I spent a few days hitching across Virginia last summer. Close to the Trail it was simple and felt safe....

I did a section in a new pair of cross trainers and within a few days my feet were bruised, I had never bruised my feet before, not in the Army, Life or Hiking. Not a feeling I ever want again. Since...

One of the things that surprised me was how much TIME I had on the Trail, mostly at night sitting around or over sleeping. The extra time was one reason that I thought that a blog would be a good...

While out prep hiking in a park today, in the snow and rain, someone asked me " How is the Hunting along the trail?" and "You hike in the Rain too?"

Why havent people been using WB's own Blogging? Problems?

Following some advice I was looking at Postholer for a journal. Seem like they have a lot of information, to the point of being intimidating to someone who is new to blogging. Their Forums seem...

How EXACTLY do you maintain your Blogg/Journal while on the trail? I want to start one, but am concerned that I wont be able to maintain the journal while on the Trail.

I too was thinking of starting a blogg for my friends and family to follow. However, I think it would be tiresome to write in both a bound journal ( i am an addicted journal writter) and having to...

I often joked on my partner for carrying bear spray, and hollering "yo bear" along the Trail. But after reading a few articles about Black Bears and use of bear spray, I can see where the spray could...

It is not hard to imagine a situation where someone could get behind a hiker and hold a knife to their throat, or even in just a threatening manner. Seeing as edged weapons account for more...

With the Monstrous amount of failed Thru-hikes, for lack of funds, physical and mostly MENTAL (IMO) setbacks, its fair to say that many people have hiked the A.T. for 1K. Though not very far or for...

Could you imagine the events around hiking in the olympics, both as a Summer and Winter event. You could even have them start in the Winter and finish two years latter in the Summer Olympics.

I...

Thanks, it is something I am considering and its nice to know of alternatives.

I am a big guy and in need of more space in my bag as I sleep on my side when in the shelters. Most of the bags I want to hike with are to small for my shoulders. I was checking out Big Agnes bags...

Someone mentioned ear plugs......a very lightweight and cheap item that makes people like me more!

I am just used to the Dog Tag chain and having the ability to list a lot of info since I have 2 tags. I will have to look into the Road ID.

Judging by the term "Pink Blazing" and some of the groups I encountered I would think most everyone was having sex but ME.

DEL Q.......I have the same concerns. I have used the filter myself until I traded it for Chems or Steri Pen. However, I never felt like it was cleaned out and dry between uses and wondered about...

What I like about the Dog Tags is that i had them custom made for the hike with my trail name and my real ID info. Both for about $10.

This guy WAS over 375 lbs! I know about chaffing. I lost the weight and got in shape so I could join the Army. I am still a big guy. I must admit I dont like the feeling of the body glide or powders....

Marion, VA is as close as you can get and it is a straight shot down the freeway to Damascus. Should be easy enough to Yellow Blaze down the road. BTW, the shelter by Marion is fantastic. A shower...

I have heard that his hiking partner was Fictional. A way for him to vent his inner ID. Anyone know for certain?

I was out prep hiking today, it was 60 degrees and sunny. I almost said **** It and stuck out my thumb to hitch a ride South. Then I remembered the Snow in the mountains and how pissed my kids would...
