Speaks for itself IMHO.

Props to you Mr. Kirk. You did something that no one had done before. Opinions are like ass****s. You did something very amazing, and there are only a very few people in the world who have...

I have been reading your posts, as I check out the new posts, every day. Is this part of your plan for a plot line? Miscreant poster ticks off everyone she can on WB. Hits the trail, and ticks off...

I have taken fly rods with me quite often on flights, with no issues. I have a collapsible, plastic rod tube holder, that can be adjusted from 4'5" to 8'5". I bring it on the plane with me. I ask the...

Blaster, what application(s), did you use for GPS, distance, time, etc.?

You might want to consider the Delaware Water Gap Recreational area, and try a hike up to Sunfish Pond. From the trail head by rt 80, it's a 4.2 mile hike. Kind of steep and some rocks, but there are...

Thanks for the great article John Huth. I went on to read your "Art of Wayfinding" article. The visual representations made the text crystal clear to me. Been a long time since orienteering with the...

I was just reading that yogurt can be dehydrated easily, and if ground up after drying, will re hydrate well, and not be lumpy. I am going to have to try that one myself. One of my favorite...

Sign me up for Uncle Johnny's! Sounds like a place that Kerouac would have stayed at. Must be my French Canadian DB roots. ;)

Thank You Monkey Man, for all of your hard work and commitment to the trail.

Thanks for sending the link along.

I was wondering about just that, about an hour ago, as I lay on my back, on the side of the road, pulling a rusty spring out of my 10 ply truck tire, listening to the air, angrily hissing out. ( My...

Thanks for the education Elf. Makes good sense.
"While gear is important, I think it is the LEAST important part of hiking.I use gear to hike…not hike to use gear." Mags.

Also, I've noticed that my great 1/4 zip pull-over fleece from Walmart has gone up in price from $9.99 to $10.99. Grrr. What is this world coming to? ;)[/QUOTE]

Lol, Perish the thought.

Nice job! Just a couple years ago huh? Are you still active with trail maintenance?

What's your take Solemates?

Amazing what a li'll walk in the woods can do for you.

First of all @ gcobb1990. Your unsupported thru hike record was an absolutely AWESOME feat on it's on merits alone. Secondly, your well written article about Anish's record attempt is a great read.

My pleasure. Seems like we are all in the same boat here. Maybe by the time we are ready, we will have a good portion of the gear selection issues ironed out.

Nice find RS. You got me looking around for stuff too.

Great idea nsherry61.
I found a 60x80 wool blanket at harbor freight for 10.99, and a few different 30 liter backpacks on e-bay and amazon for around 10 bucks. I attached the link for a 35 liter max...
