Jersey, I can't help much. High Point shelter isn't bad. You can camp in the lot beside the post office in Unioinville. It's across from Anabelles Pizza, which I highly recommend. Appalachian Motel...

Folks, I'm not trying to start an argument or debate...just speaking from experience. I've been told in no uncertain terms by a warden that he can be where he wants, when he wants. Discretion is a...

130 lbs, Wayne? Forget the poles...you can just run up the mountain!
Yes sir. I can say that I have never seen this privilege abused. Never. A land owner or lessee just needs to be aware that certain officers of the state don't need paper.
It's not hard to know if a person feels unsafe or that their personal space has been invaded. Every human MUST respect that boundary even if they don't agree with it. A persons space is exactly...
This is not true. I can only speak for TX but I know that a Game Warden has right of entry at all times. They have more entry powers than local LE and even State Police. This power was granted...
You're the kid that sat front center in class...hand always up. Cool guys sat in back and pelted you with spit balls thru a straw. Pittewww!
I joke, we're all adults now and your level of...
Re-supplied at the WM, had a good slice of pizza, rode the $2 bus and walked right on by...
Last thing I wanted in my mind at that point of the thru was to analyze how others live their lives. I...
you can talk to a provider in the States for the best info on compatability. If all fails or is too frustrating, grab a prepaid (several networks represented) at a WalM when you arrive. Contact your...
I stayed at the Budget in both Hiawasse and Franklin during my 2018 thru. I believe they were formerly owned by Ron Haven. By the time I used them he had sold them off to different owners. Quite an...
All above are excellent. Light and razor sharp is the objective. I prefer model with small sharp scissors but all great blades give you the precision cut. Never had a reason to change from Leatherman...
Stayed there in April '18. It was freezing out with sleet storm so I loved the shelter and warmth. Fellowship with others was great, can cook for yourself on a stove along wall. Somebody had to feed...
Basic Leatherman tool from 1992. I guess they call it the "Heritage model" now.
I wore it daily on my web belt under the cami blouse in USMC. Invaluable tool then and in hiking now. Heavy...
An analogy to a prostitute using their body?!?! I take great exception. Like the OP, I walk away from this trashy forum.
Good luck to some of my favorite posters. I'll DM or PM some of you...keep...
Flat ridiculous. I'm not justifying anyone's anything. By resources I mean using technology to reach out. In the olden days did the po' hikers lick 10k stamps and send them to strangers? Different...
Aint mad at ya. Setting aside funds and budgeting over the course of a thru is an essential part of pre-hike prep.
It's very hard to do if that budget is razor thin. Be in good shape, have...
If you're already back home at least you saved that expense. Try being destitute in Maine and needing a hitch to TX. Haha
I really don't want to dump on the OP's request for help...BUT this is a generational use of resources.
So many of us have faced the same issue and worked near the trail, asked grandma to send a...
I had the OR helium and loved it. I started NOBO very early Feb and it became a daily item for me. The DWR will wear out with lots of usage and stowage without proper treatment. Even after it became...
Completely agree. Seems like sucker bait on a very debatable topic. I never said "I'm halfway done with my thru hike". The assumption you will finish is extremely optimistic.
Fun to see a couple...
For my thru the great majority of slacking I did was courtesy of a local trail angel, complete stranger wanting to assist and live vicariously. I had many enriching encounters off the trail....
Haha. So true. Made the best of it while I was there....but I don't think I will hike another PA mile ever.
You might enjoy the true essence of PA trail that folks moan about-501 shelter north to DWG.
So many treasures: Port Clinton pavilion, hit the barber shop and "secret" bar underneath the fire...
Uncrustables from freezer section. I like having a can of bean dip for burritos but that darn product weighs 1 pound.
