I have been contacted by a family who is quite worried about their son who is hiking southbound on the AT. He is 6 days late checking in with his family and is running low on supplies and money and...

I have used a GoalZero solar system on my thru hike to keep my iPhone and camera battery charged this year. I started out with a 4500mah battery back up but quickly moved to the solar system (within...
Hopefully we will cross paths. Trail name is Continuous Wave, CW for short. Cross your fingers, if the weather cooperates, I will summit K Tuesday.
I have a room tomorrow night (Monday) at the 4 Points Hotel at the Bangor Airport. This is about 1.5 miles from the Concord Bus Lines terminal and is walkable. There is an extra double bed in the...
I am beginning my thru hike next week and was wondering what conditions are up in Maine right now. I know it has been extremely wet so I am sure the mud is thick and nasty. However, I am more...
I agree with the Circuit and Olm being the gold standard. I have a circuti and a HMG Cuben Fiber pack and like them both, however, I am starting a SOBO thru hike in a couple of weeks and guess which...
Hi,
I don't need the space as I am startiing SOBO earlier in the month however I wanted to say hi. I am sure you will cross my path early however as
I are beginning very slow....you are only a...
Now that is an interesting idea! That may work!!
I am thinking of more of getting a local flavor of the area before hiking. I am planning a couple of extra days at BSP to explore around and was thinking of possibly jumping up to Bar HArbor as well....
Good question! I am beginning my SOBO next month and am starting with a Western Mountaineering Summerlite bag rated at 32 degrees and very light. When I switch out my summer gear for my winter...
Ok, so I have given notice at work and will find myself "homeless" next week as I prepare for my SOBO hike. So, instead of hanging out here till I start the trail I am looking into the possibility...
I would definitely talk to your primary doctor about this as well. I am not a doctor, but I would imagine that if you could tolerate the change in medicines, the exercise and walking would help...
About sixty miles to I77 at the Bland exit. A few more to your neck of the trail HM but not by much. :)
I am trying to figure out what I should carry in a bounce box for my southbound hike as well as how far forward I should bounce it forward every time. I can't see carrying much in it and I...
Thanks for the responses from everyone. It looks like my estimate is spot on then. I actually do not consider my resupply in my town budget so It looks like my estimate is spot on from what...
Before I begin, I known this is a loaded question and depends on the hiker and his/her budget. However, I am working on my final budget for a southbound thru next month and am trying to figure out...
That is so sad.
So maybe we should pick a place and time Saturday where we can have the Class of 2014 meet and introduce themselves to the class..
I will be heading down early Friday Morning from Beckley. Are you going to be in Tent City? Maybe we can meet while we are down there. I would love to meet a fellow hiker from WV. Do you hike...
I am heading down towards Trail Days either that Thursday Evening or early Friday morning. I am heading down I 77 from Beckley WV and will be passing Bland VA on the way. I should have room for two...
Sweet! I hiked the Grand Canyon years ago. I loved it.
I did not go to school in NC. I moved there in 1993, spent till 2011 in Raleigh and moved to WV to be in the mountains. I still head through High Point quite often however..
I dont. I actually moved to WV a couple of years ago from the Raleigh area. However, I am sure if you post that you need a ride on the ride board you will have several offers..
