Okay, the pictures worked. Not sure why they're sideways....? I think my ipod is weird. LOL! We camp like hobos or something... Kinda proud.

I'm back!!! ..Sorry I disappeared!!! So yes! I did make it out to the AT back in July!!! My sister had a training at Harpers Ferry, so My dad, 3 sisters and myself all drove out there!! We had about a week out there and I was thinking at first that we'd hike about half that time and then turn around and hike back, but!!! As it ended up, we wanted to see my sister who was taking the training almost everyday.. SO! We basically hiked for the day, camped and then hiked back to the car. Then the next…

Thanks max.patch! I'll look into that!! What do you mean outfitter in town? Is that a gear place at Harpers Ferry or something?

Ah! Okay about the soap leaves, I'll have to check them out!! Yeah, at first I was like "wha?" about carrying soap. A bar seemed just too messy.. And hand sanitizer seemed easier, but my sisters are picky.. I think we can manage if we put it in some sort of squeeze bottle.. Or something!

Thanks! Yeah, I wondered if I needed the extra batteries since its only 5 days.. Plus we'll likely have more than one flashlight. What are soap leaves? My dads not on any medication, so that won't be a problem. But having some clotting product would be a nice precaution. I have a basic knowledge of wound care, but intend to educate myself further. His case isn't a bad one, but he doesn't do a whole lot of physical activity, so I know he'll have to train up in order to gain muscle, so he can avoi…

Lol! Had a lotta trouble with that post posting everything I wrote. I finally gave way and went without smilies... And it worked.

Thanks so much!!! Very helpful to me!!! I've been building a list of everything I'll take and feeling like I have things semi covered. I think. Our party has actually doubled, since 3 of my other sisters want to come too. So they've been researching too and we're planning to test as much as we can in the coming weeks!! Probably a 3 day test. Our hiking trip will only be about 5 days. Lol! Funny about the hiker "smell test". Now I want to fool everybody though.. Should I go for the stinky stench …

Quote from Rasty: “Quote from WaxQueen: “WHA???? I don't get it..” Post control and Sauciers both mix ingredients to create something. One kills bugs the other is sauce.” Still don't get how that relates.. :blink: :blush:

WHA???? I don't get it..

Welcome Grinder!

Call me crazy then. :blink: Er, us, cause it wasn't my idea to go in winter.. gif.010 We'll see!!!! We're going to prepare as much as we can, and I think if we end up postponing it 'til later in the spring that'll be fine!!! Or even bail out when we freeze our tushies off. I'll be going to Minnesota this summer, so I hope to hunt down general winter gear there(clothing, etc). I'm guessing they have an abundance.
