Wow, I really didn't think I would get this much support. Thank you all
Kizzybean, in reply, as far as my symptoms, daily life I have the Gotta Go RIGHT NOW about 50% of the time. I do not get...
I agree with you all. I hang my pack off the tri-rings on my Warbonnet Blackbird tree straps if I want it under my tarp. Otherwise I hang it directly to the tree straps near my dutch clip.
I...
FYI there IS instant quinoa available. I buy it all the time. I add it to my oatmeal packet and some peanut butter for my breakfast ziplock.
I get my at a health food store, but you can google...
Wow, thank you for all the support and the pm's. This was enlightening.
I do know I need to lose some more weight, hence the hiking attempts. I used to be 315lbs and have lost 100lbs, finding back...
Please no men. This is a bit embarrassing.
The last 3 trips I did, I have experienced, piddling. I do not understand it.
I am a larger gal, and I have that, "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go RIGHT...
I'm also in Prescott AZ. I was stung 5 times by a baby scorpion in the first month I moved here from CA. I'm not allergic. I survived. Hurt like a MF. No joke. I moved into a place that was...
judgment.
I hate the judging eyes or comments murmured as they see a plus size WOMAN hiker approaching them, or pulling over so they can pass (which I do immediately as they approach).
And...
I do not own the Trek style, but I have the classic, and I would not recommend them for trails that are rocky. You feel everything. I do not have sensitive feet either. I do love the way the feel...
Thank you for the info.
I was at Reavis Ranch 2 weekends ago, and I met a lady that was Thru hiking the AZT by herself! She said that it is about a 7 week trip for her. She also said the lower...
I use a piece of GG 1/4" pad for under my legs, and a 3/4 winter UQ down to 30 degrees. I also have a Montbell SS #2 which is rated to 25 degrees. I supplement with a reflector liner inside my bag...
I did consider that. I even found a picture of someone who did it. I didn't think the cardboard would be sufficient foot protection for rocks and such.
I just completed another pair for myself...
Thanks for the feedback. I like the challenge of making them. My husband did say "honey, they do not need to be indestructible, they can be re-made." I just liked the idea of them lasting more...
Ok... so I tried to replace my 11oz crocs to Duct tape sandals.
I decided to cut out blue CC pad from Wally world and cover it with designer Duct tape also at wally world. I got pretty inventive...
just a few thoughts to add. I'm 5'10" and I use a clark NA and a Blackbird. I like light, and comfort and cheap. Some things are best to make the investment, like a good TQ (top quilt) and an UQ...
My husband and I are from Prescott, and I would like to start to piece together the Arizona trail. We will be most likely doing 2 day hikes, maybe with the sections that need more time, we would go...
I am a lady, and body glide works great for me. They have a heating one too. I do not recommend that one, unless you really need it for muscle aches, and you don't mind the extra weight. I...
hope this link works, as I am signed in as I clicked on it.
I just noticed there is no administrators on it. But it's worth a shot. The more women we connect to it, the more it could become more...
I suggest Capri's. They work great for me. Even the exercise ones. They are polyester I think...but they are better than cotton. With them lower than the knee, they do not crawl up. I'm a size...
I thought I would let you know there is group on facebook as backpacking babes. Not very many women on it yet. But I thought it would be a nice additional place for our discussions. I Love this...
That is far from considerate. I don't understand how people can be so rude sometimes. This comment was not necessary, and plain rude. This forum is for help, support, and encouragement.
Please...
I always have trouble shopping. I'm 5'10" and a bigger girl. I have to buy mens 2x, 34" inseam pants and 1x tops. I have yet to purchase clothing designed for females. I do have an Osprey Ariel...
I alternate from powdered/dehydrated peanut butter and crackers
or I use my sealer system and make my own portable peanut butter packets.
Rice crackers now come in bite sized rounds, but you have...
As far as your personal needs, I feel the best thing to keep your mind off of his departure, is to put yourself first. Start thinking of you. Take a new class through the local community center. I...
YES! I agree totally. It took sometime to get over my pride issues, but I now realize that my hiking technique is just fine. My husband is very supportive and is right there with me. So I'm not...
