Rt.9 is an easy hitch into Bennington - I've done it a bunch over the years. Lots of traffic and plenty of room for a car to pull over and pick you up safely. Locals expect to see hikers on rt. 9...

Has anyone ever been faced with such a unique problem? We are trying anything at this point. All we know is that our trail friends/angels have all told us to get back out as soon as we can or else we...
I like Homemade Wanderlust - I enjoyed watching her videos and I like her on camera personality.
Down side - her PCT hike was in 2017 I think...
She's done a vlog for all of her hikes - AT,...
I see nothing wrong with this plan. Carry on. Keep us apprised of your progress.
Thanks for the tips. I’ll be sure to try and incorporate both of them into my hike!
Love me some Indian food! It’s been about 6 months since I’ve visited my favorite Indian restaurant.
Thanks for the info - I'm glad to hear about the water - I don't know why I got it in my head it might be an issue. I guess I've been reading and hearing about droughts in the Northeast, so I was...
Good to hear about the water situation.
Masks are a non-issue as far as I'm concerned - it's the requirement where I live just like in NH - I don't have an issue with it. It's not even really an...
Thanks for this - I was figuring this was the best option - considering the chain supermarket is a bit off the trail and I will not want to use transportation to get there.
Hello All-
I'm going to be hiking from Franconia Notch to where the AT and the LT meet up. I know it's been very dry and water may not be running as it has in the past. Additionally, with Covid...
Just after college is a good time to thru - hike. It's easier to store all your stuff away, you don't (in theory) have a lot of off trail expenses you'll have to cover when on the trail, and you're...
It’s a good first effort. I think it’s highly unusual for an ultra runner with little to no hiking/AT experience to go out and beat it the first time. Kind of why Jureks run was so impressive. The...
ya - I'm talking about the AT (thru-hike). Not sure what's rude about it if it's not impacting anyone - pretty sure we don't have to be silent in the woods - like a library -I often talk with people...
don't know about you -but other than a few popular areas on the AT - I/we spent a lot of time alone. Some one can be a 1/4 mile from you and the fact is you may never know about them or meet them...
during my thru hike we often listened to music using speakers strapped to the pack (we took turns). We would shut them off when passing others or getting near crowded spots (really near any other...
dogs are property they have no rights. Dogs are not allowed anywhere. PEOPLE are allowed to bring their dogs with them when they go out in the world. I agree with your comparison to smoking. The...
no matter the distance understand that by bringing your dog it's creating more work and more logistical issues than you would have if you didn't bring him. If it's a section hike - probably not that...
big flaw that I see, or should say DON'T see -is a pic of the actual item. They are using stock pics - buyers need to see what they are actually getting if it's used. My guess is buyers will be...
[QUOTE=saltysack;2154673]Love my Torin 2.5 for weight training and cardio but wife says they are FUGLy
I hear ya - I thunk thye look weird and I get a little self conscience wearing them when...
just paid 74.95 at Amazon - had most sizes - that price includes shipping
I have a pair of the instinct 2.0, but I need a new pair. I liked them just fine - would the Torin 2.5 be a good...
it's comparing a vacation to military service. One comes with much deserved benefits (because of serious personal risk and sacrifice) and in some cases preferential treatment with regard to...
HYOH is a more pleasant way of saying what it really truly means - "Mind your own ****ing business!!"
slack packing has always been a thing by people of all ages - it's not new to 2016

No hesitation here -
I've thru hiked both. If I had to pick just one of them to do - I'd pick the PCT hands down. Only down side to the PCT is the chance of fires messing up your hike.
People...
Good description - movie was definitely superficial from a hikers perspective and only loosely followed the book. I laughed - and enjoyed some good well known actors in their movie. It's a...
How about an epic sunrise pic from on top of Katahdin? Don't know if he could up the pace that much (I think he can go for the big finish - have a tough time believeing he'll settle for just a couple...
good video - I think he looks good considering what he's been up to for the last month! I firmly believe he's going to beat the record - question is by how much.
