    This time of year, most of the predicted thunderstorms will never even happen. Just start and be relatively smart about stuff.

    Don't ever leave food or even clothes in your car while parked at a trailhead, if you can help it.

    Ask me about my alternative trail name, Mouse Car. And the car I ended up selling.

    I use a quilt in the summer and sometimes the shoulder seasons. I sleep cold and only use a CCF pad (lazy), so it's really a warm weather thing for me. I do love it for that, though, and it does work...

    My ex wore approach shoes for the first half (well, a bit longer than half, but he should have tossed them at half) of his SOBO thru. Seemed to work just fine. I know other hikers who love Salewa,...
