@***** I'm planning on hiking the AT in 2014. My work wont let me do the AT and be with them at the same time so I will be quitting and also people do it by finding a way to either get rid of responsibilities or passing it such as I'm quitting my job and have found someone to watch my dog for as long as I am gone and moving out of my apartment so I have no major bills to pay for while I will be gone. People just find a way.
Also on stove and making a fire. It is allot easier to get a concentrated flame to cook food quickly on a stove where as if you were hiking all day you probably wouldn't want to gather wood and cut it into portions and make a place to have a fire and feed it consistently and wasting a lot of energy and time to cooking food with a wood fire.
during the summer, cotton doesnt present a problem .. when it gets cool, and especially when its cold, cotton wont wick away moisture and that increases the chance of hypothermia .. that, and it makes it harder for ur body to maintain a comfortable temperature
You should come to Ontario and do a thru-hike of the Ganaraska trail.
How many ounces did cutting your crocs out really save?!
@awoodonline369369 sorry for the delay in response. Let me know if there's any questions I can help with.
@bvorhees Yeah, I carried them at first, but didn't have any blisters the entire trip. Thankful for that.
@unclematt3 Um…25-35 with water and food for a few days. I think…
@thegoods34 no one boils their drinking water on the AT unless they're out of chemicals or their pump filter is broke. That would require way too much fuel.
you should still boil your water…the microbes in a pond or stream can still slip through the filters and give you diarrhea and dysentery.
how much does it all weigh?
Thanx for the video. One thing you didn't mention and I always take with me in my 1st aid/toiletries is mole skins. Great for the blisters. Although I haven't needed them for myself very much, those I hike with are often less experienced and are more prone to blisters.
Which Guide book is that?
thumbs up if you hike the appalachian trail
@stevimated along the trail they have shelters in the mountains for fellow hikers
@Mukaduc
with a 2 person tent, you have extra room for your gear, and more room to get cozy in.
But that comes with some added bulk, and weight. If You like comfort, go for the 2 man tent.
by shelter you mean like homeless ppls?
What is the name of your hiking guide and could you suggest a couple more a person could choose from? Thanks
wow nice gear! and really inspiring video , thank's!
Awesome video. Great gear primer for hitting the AP or LT..
thanks for the video, good job… very helpful, I'm about to hit the ct/ma portion for the first time! Stay safe, maybe I'll see you out there
Nice video! I hope your hike is going well 🙂
