Hello folks, hope all are well.
I have suffered some major broken bones and torn ligaments from the waist down to the lower hips so I haven't done any hiking and very little camping for the last...
I know this is an old thread but the night temps are dropping a little finally and some lucky folks will be enjoying cooler temps soon so I thought that I might chime in and offer my 1/2 cent.

my xtherm decided it didn't want to do it's duty one night with a low around the mid 30's but to my surprise I still didn't freeze. between the heat reflective qualities of the pad and the fact that...

Thanks much PaFarmboy, Yes, it will be bitter sweet to do that section again, Micheal changed much of the landscape and while I am eager to get back over there I know it will bring on some sadness as...
Hi fellow hikers, can anyone confirm that the ecofina creek section is or is not cleared yet? I have not been able to get there to do any recon so any info would be much appreciated.
TIA,
Creek.
thanks, if i can get that way soon i will post back here what i find.
Thanks Seminoles, it was a super nice section of trail when I did it the winter before the storm and I have wanted to go back ever since. is it clear all the way to the dirt road that leads back out...
can anyone tell us the status of the ecofina creek section?
thanks.
Hi Perry, do you know how much of the Ecofina creek section is clear?
it has been a bad year for Florida hikers with all the blow downs. the lower Ochlocknee hasn't been cleared in some spots and...
finally got to it. it is a nice trail and well marked, plenty of good camping sites almost anywhere on the trail. I was expecting bears but I saw no tracks, tree marking or scat. I will do this...
go back to the pre Lawton Chiles bear hunts, they were stopped by lobbyist not by biologist and now we are reaping the rewards of the politics.
I am not and have never been a bear hunter just to...
go to the garden center and get flours of sulphur, put some in a sock and dust it anywhere you don't want red bugs, I usually just dust my pants cuffs and around the wrists. it has never failed me...
I think its hard for people to believe that everything looks alike and that even when you stop to rest for a few minutes you need to confirm your direction of travel.
maps are good for kindling and wiping in a swamp but unless you count steps and use ranger beads not much else. before gps and many times after I used dead reckoning and a compass to get out while...
I agree that the bug net traps to much heat, I just roll my hammock over and don't use it, I am not to sensitive to bug bites and don't use repellents so I just deal with it for the couple of hours...
thank you, that is very kind and much appreciated.
have you hiked all the way from scott rd to 20 ?

who hike in Florida ? I know it's near impossible during the long summer but we do get a little cool weather.
I don't have concrete plans yet, I am watching the humidity. it wouldn't be a bad drive from T-Ville. I have had intentions of doing this section for 2 or 3 years now but life got in the way.
I...
could anyone here give me some planning tips and info for the ecofina creek section ? I have read parking at a trail head is not advised so I am planning to be dropped off and picked up. I would like...
Great pics Wormy !!

Granite Gear Blaze AC 60, great fit, carries extra weight well.
as someone who grew up with dog hunting I can certainly see Walters position and I have seen the same myself which is why after half a life time I quit dog hunting, I no longer wanted to be...
thank you, I couldn't remember the names of the funds and was glad to see your post. my home hiking grounds depend in large on these funds.
