Well, we wouldn't want to completely shut the borders down due to NAFTA however, we should allow people to LEGALLY enter our country not illegally. Guard our borders and prevent illegal immigrants...

Nah. It sounds more like Maher in a Bear suit, after all he'll eat anything. Let Mikey try it!

That's true. "Hearsay" is just what it is, hearsay. I too have moved home to take care of my elderly mother since I don't trust all the "Shiney Head" assisted living compounds. See y'all on the...

I like good ole "Hard Tack" with Cheddar and Mustard.

Yeeeouch! I believe I'll stick with Iodine and Vitamin C, after I filter.

I too use a combo of Cash, Travelers Checks and 1 Credit Card (for emergemcies only). I prefer the travelers checks (put into mail drops) as I can budget my money alot easier and then cash a couple...

Well, he won't be able to "live off the land" so to speak in prison. Gay basher? Any bets he'll be forced to drop the soap?:clap

I hope you tested the gear before you hike the trail. Just a thought. Good Luck Dude!

Not really, just take the Lincoln Tunnel west bound to Secaucus, hold the empty cannister in the wind for say, 5 minutes and voila....refill!

Lumpy. My girlfriend gave me that nickname in relation to how my pack looks(no, not that package), it's how I pack my backpack......it looks like a sack of potatoes.

I agree with OWL, if you don't like something ignore it or speak your mind which we've done here. I think it's great that we can have opposing views and the privilege to voice our differences freely...

I prefer to have something I can hike in in an emergency should my boots or trail shoes fail. I think that crocs fit the bill. They're comfortable, protective, supportive and still light enough to...

Excellent comparison Jack. I too enjoy gourmet meals on the trail that involves more than boiling water and sometimes need two burners. I use the MSR Simmerlite and esbit for a second burner when...

Trails of Tears.

Excellent tips on first-aid kits. I also include extra safety pins (they can be used as sutures for lack of anything else) and a small tube of Super Glue for small cuts and lanced blisters, it...

Yes. Unfortunately my job dictates I carry a watch as I'm required to be "time oriented" with all the driving I do. However, when I'm out on the trail I still carry my watch but attached to my pack...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (or the AT)
Red Storm Rising, Tom Clancy: A little heavy
1984, George Orwell
A Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrick
The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula LaGuine...

Oh yeah, almost forgot, I got to have Old Bay Seasoning for seafood, chix, rice or almost anything else.

Messy, not really. I use a 6" non-stick omelet pan with a little squeeze margarine, cook the omelet and eat it right out of the pan then clean any scraps with a piece of bread and voila, clean pan. ...

I think you should have got a second opinion.................on the hammock!

Following up on my last post, even though I set up and packed the REI Quarter Dome up to 20 times in the last week, I ended up having a problem with the zipper not meshing properly. Long story...

Eggs, ah yes. What I do is buy fresh eggs at the store, crack them into a nalgene bottle, add some S&P then shake em up. They usually last 2 days or so and I make omelettes or scrambled eggs with...

Thanks again for all your input. I paid a visit to my local outfitter and ended up purhasing the REI Quarter Dome for $220.00 and they threw in the footprint for free as well. I've been practicing...

Great Pics Solemates, I assume that some are from the AT except for Graceland (I thought it was your home before I read the caption) and the ATV pics. I intend to check out those tents. I intend to...
