Two packets of instant grits and a cup of instant coffee

Trash bags are a great idea. I don't care what anyone says, I'm bringing a camp towel, too.

Starting on Friday, and it is supposed to rain pretty much every day for the next 5 days afterwards, heading north. I have a rain jacket and a pack cover, but is there anything else I should grab to...

I am leaving trail and flying back to Waynesboro, VA on June 7th. I need someone to pick me up from the airport in Charlottesville and drive me either to Waynesboro or to trail.

Are there...

I'm going to repeat BamaB2's question: Is it helpful to water-proof your pack beforehand? Like scotch gaurd?

I have long hair and I'm going to keep my long hair. Braids, braids, braids!

My plans have changed half a dozen times over, but I'm pretty happy I decided on my start date now that I'm seeing the weather.

At first I was planning a super early February NOBO hike, then had...

Awesome, thanks guys. I'm sure my husband has a duffel bag I can chuck and I'll carry anything expensive. Thanks.

How do you get your pack and all your gear on a plane? I always assumed I would check my back, but I'm nervous about putting it through the luggage system and having something stolen or broken.

*cranberry pills. I recommend these instead of juice or crasians. The amount of cranberry you'd have to consume to be affective is almost too much to carry. Pills are easy to take and carry.

I'm right there with you with frequent UTI's. I'm going to do what the rest of the of ladies have suggested and get a script filled ahead of time. I figure having a round of antibiotics could be...

Well, dammit, here are my questions:

My hammock length is about 3 inches shorter than my tarp length, on both sides, at the moment. Tonight, that didn't work, but is that because I didn't have a...

let's just file this under another fail, I can't figure out how to edit or delete this post. :/

Tonight, in Kansas, we had lows in the 40's and highs in the 60's, and I was feeling restless. I stuffed my pack full of crap, and thought "this will be excellent practice for some of the extremes...

Dude, I super geeked out and bought new steaks and wasps and have a running wish list of stuff to get "for my birthday". I think before now I just sort of wandered around hardware stores until I saw...

This week has been one freak out after another! During the weekend I updated my gear excel and realized how much stuff I have and how much I've invested. Then at work I've started talking to my...

First of all, how have I hammocked this long and not known about dutchware. I just lost an hour browsing the site.

Second, I think you're right. Pricing out mesh fabric has been expensive. ...

I keep looking for a bug net for my hammock and don't really want to pay what they want for them.

Is it possible to make a cheap, light weight bug net? It has to be! Any suggestions?

Hahaha, that is kind of what I was thinking: something I can eat AND rub on my body. Make sure those bears get all their healthy fats, too.

I'm heading out SOBO around July 10th or so.

Hey! I'm planning SOBO starting in July. Have to go to a cousin's wedding the first weekend in July, then flying to Maine!

The idea of crowds is actually what caused me to change from NOBO to SOBO. Not that I want to be alone or anti social, just the idea of packed trails and full shelters stressed me out.
I figure...

Thanks, that's what I figured, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't some secret or trick to it.

So I bought a NOBO version of AWOL's but now I've decided to go SOBO and was wondering if I should bother buying a SOBO version is worth it or do I just start in the back of the book?

I'm a long time hasher from Florida, and I just had a thought! Are there any H3's along the AT? Any active hashers that have kennels in trail towns? I'd love to take a day off of the AT to hash if...
