For those wondering (not that anyone in particular would,) I'm still alive and I still love hiking. I haven't forgotten everyone who has helped me get to the point I'm at now. I've talked to the VA...

As I've posted in my own thread, I have knee pain when hiking. Mine usually starts about 4 miles or so into a hike and it comes from the left side right in the dimple created between your kneecap and...

I've made it to 200 miles to go and round ran out of money and today I was on a good roll and accidentally closed the tab lol

There is a trans-am up there with Florida plates and a flat tire that has been there at least a month. Other than the tire running flat which it did on its own, nothing has been changed or touched...

You are welcome man, it's nice to have knowledge, albeit very limited to share with others. I wouldn't have ever even tried hiking if it weren't for the generosity and patience of folks on White...

Man, I just opened a rabbit hole with myself lol I was all happy that I finally have everything I need to go out and overnight and I guess I still do thanks to the stuff Bill sent me. I can tarp tent...

I can't find a model, believe me, I tried. It has a funky must about it so I'm airing it out. I'm going to try and get some pictures up and such.

I've only set foot on the AT in Georgia and very briefly in VA.

You did send me an inflatable mat Bill :) Crazy, it's almost like you knew what you were doing or something lol. I'll have to try and take some pictures of the pack in a little bit so ya'll can see...

I was up there as far as Hawk Mountain Sunday. That far in at least, you'll have no problems. If I remember properly, there's about a 7 mile stretch after Hawk Mountain with no water but again, I'm...

I don't know the liter rating for this pack, but it is pretty substantial. I can't imagine cramming just 20 pounds in that joker but I may be wrong. I think it is probably doable once I get my...

So, I was given a pack from North Face that has no frame, weirdest thing I've ever seen. I don't know if they wanted the padding to be the frame or what. At any rate, my question is, do you amazing...

Stover Creek is a pretty short and easy clip starting at Springer. I don't know roughly what time of day you are planning to leave out but if you have enough daylight, I might recommend trying to get...

I think you hit one of my primary problems Bill, I'm still in the military mindset when it comes to any physical activity, even if I can't physically do it anymore lol. The military is all about...

I was going to basically say what everyone else has stated so it's covered. Plus, if you are doing the through hike with Warrior Hike, you'll have documented proof you are doing the hike so it...

I did wear the shoes you sent Bill, worked like a charm if I can keep the damned rocks out lol. For some stupid reason I thought the BMT loop back would be easy, boy was I wrong. On a positive note,...

Well, small update, I have been doing more hiking with varying mileage. So far my trio's have been Amicalola to Springer and back with a day pack, BMT from Springer parking lot to Long Creek Falls...

Loving the videos so far. I believe I am on part 4.

I can't recall where I've read about you and the guys you were hiking with, maybe it was on Alpaca Adventure's blog. Either way reading it as I wait for my appointment, I don't envy you with the...

This one is an 85 liter pack but it is very similar to the one I have here that I can buy:
...

The only concern and it is a minor one, is that sometimes when you order products that are coming in from China, they can be held up in port. You will get a refund but it can take a couple of months...

Oh! And rocketsocks man, I'm out of my own head big time, I have this incessant itch now. I haven't done what I'd consider a decent hike in probably 3 weeks to a month and it's eating at me. To say...

So far, the only return contribution I've made if you want to call it that was when I was doing the Loop Trail at Springer Mountain. I ran into a lady and a gentleman who were on a group hike. The...

So, here's a picture of the zipper situation going on so ya'll can get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
