enjoy your time to yourself. If something happens... hey!

There's a product called "Glide" that you can use. I'm told by a former thru hiker that never got a blister while using.

The cold, wet, miserable days you write about remind me of the army. Oh how I wish I'd joined the Navy or Air Force. With that, I'm going to push my way through this hike at my own pace. I ant to...

It's cold out there. Be safe and use your head. I've seen where some are averaging 8+ miles a day since starting in the snow and ice. God bless you. That kind of inner strength is immeasurable

This thread reminds me of when I moved to Queens, New York in 1987 from a small country town in Maryland. A panhandler looked me dead in the eyes and said, "can you spare a dollar? I got my 50 acres...

I love this thread !! I can't believe there weren't more jokes.... ie

Boxers or Briefs? Depends..... Anybody wearing Depends? Sorry....

I'm using HEET and a metal recept

I've seen people get Medicaid with income less than 13,000 a year.....hmmmmmm

The pole should be able to record mileage. Possible gps capabilities in case person gets lost...... I have more but I want a percentage %%%%%%%% $$$$$$$$$.

Thanks for the input, SW

Does anyone have a Mail Drop List of locations that are directly on the trail or within 1/4 mile or so from trail? I am putting together my supplies and want to generate labels etc. I want to limit...

When the knock on the door happens you either answer it or you take a pass. The key is to "hear the knock". What I mean is truly hear the knock. If you take a pass you need to make sure that you can...

Look at Guthooks hiking guides (App). Someone on TrailJournals recommended. I downloaded. To get the entire AT map is around $40.... and it looks good enough for me to pass up getting paper maps or a...

Hikehunter, I thought there was 28 days in February :) ..... For those who can master the cold... God bless you. Me, I'd rather sweat than freeze. I'm starting mid March. Safe journey all.

Everyone has an opinion and you shouldn't take to heart. My opinion is: Get out of your head. Don't over think the hike and psyche yourself out. You will make it, one step at a time.

My personal preference: Wireless, motion detecting cameras . The system I have sends videos to my phone. So, if someone breaks in Ive recorded the whole event. Other good thing.... The recording go...

I agree with Pic N. I'm 50 something, 6'6" and my feeling is play on the safe side. Get to know people on the trail and move in packs when going off the trail. There are good people out there.........

At 6'6" 285 lbs..... I've been accused of being as big as a bear. Please don't spray, shoot, or startle me. I'm an old bear..... doing Ga to Maine. I may be cay yin a Pic-A-Nic basket

Ditto to always keep in sight.... I also plan on bringing a lightweight lock.... The kind that secures a laptop computer.... Long, retactable metal cord. Just me.... Never can be to safe. I've even...

Thanks to all that responded. I need to do the mapping now. I hope to meet all of you this hike - March to August 2015

Pot epidemic? Hmmmmmm

Logistically you've got some work to do. I'm hiking and camping the whole trail for the first time so I don't know how far you need to hike each day to find a hotel room. Figuring the cost of 30 days...
