No worries about the leash. Just use the PCT method. No, wait...that's for filtering water. I mean make sure the dog only weighs 7.293 ounces. No, that's not it either. Wait...I'll get it, I promise.
I know! Use the dental floss from your first aid kit! Perfect leash. Sorry it took so long. So much information, such a disorganized alleged brain to sort it.
'Tis I, the wannabe hiker formerly known as a screen name that isn't allowed. Maybe I should make a symbol, like Prince did.

Gotta agree with that philosophy,many are in-love with the ideation of thru-hike,and really don't have a clue of what it will take to accomplish it.It's hard work,wet dirty,stinky,shake downs are a great way of sorting out whether your just having a romantic feeling,or if you really wanna be out here,excellent advise y'all.
WIA reminds me of Shlep from a few years ago. She loved the cyberhiker thing...but ended up hiking over 1000 miles before a MRSA infection took her off trail. Later I met her in Vermont where she was introducing her younger brother to long distance hiking.

well i have a masters degree and a job i love that ive had for 12 years. the girl with the 2 majors and 2 minors is probably still working that same part time job she had when we were in school. if shes lucky. just as some people around here will plan their "hike" long enough to just get bored with it. that would be a really interesting stat- people who come here to start planning a hike that they say they will do in 2 or 3 years... how many of them even ever START toheir hike, forget about finish?
Roughly 150 (not including repetitive miles)/ 19 posts (including this one). Hopefully many more miles to come...
I think WIA is a pretty cool gal. ehs blows up her post count and doesn't afraid of anything
