This might be a stupid question, but what do you boil the diva cup in on trail? It seems like it wouldn't be sanitary to boil it in a pot...

You wouldn't happen to be the same "Boots" I met on trail last summer in Virginia near Wapiti, would you? Congrats on your upcoming thru-hike!

Thanks! I can't wait! :D

Does anyone remember what time last year they put up the 2013 form? When do you think we will get our own Class of 2014 form in the thru hiker class forms? I hope soon!

Wow, you sound like you're in the exact same situation as me! I too am 18 and planning a gap year to hike the AT. I've backpacked in groups a lot, but I will most likely be hiking solo. I have...

I backpacked on Isle Royale for 16 days last summer. One thing I'd recommend is to plan to camp near the inland lakes. Lake superior was far to cold to swim in, even on the hottest days. As far as...

Hi Zac. I'm also trying to simultaneously save up for a 2014 thru hike and college.. It's tough. I've bought a lot of dirt cheap gear, some of which has served me well. In my experience, though,...

Hi Judds
I'm also planning a NOBO thru-hike for 2014, for my gap year after I graduate. I'm still in the process of planning, but I'll probably start some time in March, or maybe even late...

Hi! I'm looking for a hiking buddy around my age and skill level. I'll probably be starting in late February or early March (2014) and hopefully finishing before the end of August. Anyone who's...

Getting Lost:
While hiking, redhead, a brunette, and a blond get lost in the wilderness. After a while, they get very hungry, so they send the redhead off to hunt for dinner. Later the redhead...

I'm starting in late Feb/early March of 2013 or 2014, depending on a couple of factors. I know that I (as well as my parents) would be much more comfortable if I was hiking with a partner/group.

I'm looking into doing at 2014 thru hike, before going off to college! Not sure on the details yet since it's still over 2 years away
