Thank you for all the replies!

I will be moving to Denver sometime within the next couple of years, and before I settle in I plan on thru-hiking the Colorado Trail. My question is, with the fact that much of the trail is above...

And pants, too... from what I hear.

Tomorrow looks nice for a little walk. Might see if I can find time for a good 17 miler around the wilderness area.

I blame Al Gore. He had to go and invent global warming... now we're looking at 80 degrees in the Ozarks tomorrow.

It would, however, be considered abuse if one were forced to sit in an enclosed space with me after I ate it.

I have heard mentioned a few thru-hikers that did the entire thru with their kids. (You know how you hear about "The youngest thru-hikers", etc...)

I wondered... how is this accomplished? Do...

Something about this thread reminds me of my cousin. He has every knife that Bear Grylls ever put his name on. He has every stove from heavy to featherweight. If he sees a piece of gimmicky...

The other night I went out backpacking, set up my hammock about thirty feet away from a stream, and slept like a rock. When I woke up the next morning, my fly and hammock were coated with a thin...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm using a Mountain Dew bottle. I was more worried about whether it would eat through the bottle... never thought about people mistaking it for something else. My...

Meant the smaller Gatorade bottles. I can imagine hauling one of the big ones... No thanks. My pack is heavy enough at 25 lbs... ;)

Will a Gatorade bottle work? Plastic soda bottle maybe? How caustic is the stuff? Will it eat through "non-approved" containers?

Searched for this first... Couldn't find an answer, so figured...

Okay... I made a mistake. I think I said I ordered the xLite, but what I ordered was the Neo Air All Season with an R-Value of 4.9 and a weight of 1 lb, 2 oz. I'm assuming that's a different one. ...

Not on the AT, but I remember once when I was trying to bushwhack my way to a cave whose location I knew, but thought a shortcut would take a couple of miles off my trip. Was following my GPS, and...

This is going to sound bad, but I swear by Monistat Intimate Care - Chafing Relief Powder Gel. I know it's marketed towards women, but I have found nothing that works better. I have tried body...

I'm very much torn between taking my Powershot Elph (very light, full HD) and my Fujifilm Finepix 3D (not as light, 3D on the fly, shoddy 2D, eats through batteries.) I wonder, has anyone thru-hiked...

That kind of reminds me of an old saying we have around these parts... "If you don't like the weather here in Missouri... LEAVE!"

Actually, I'm not entirely sure that's how it goes... :) ...

I just ordered an XLite, and am planning on trying it out (it's fairly cold around these parts right now) without the underquilt on my hammock. I'll get back with you after my trial run (it'll be...
