Quote from BirdBrain: “Why should there be a limiting factor when it comes to the choices of color for women? I am not picking on your wording. It is a fact that people market to women and have "women's" colors for this and "women's" colors for that. I do not deny that women are different than men and may by percentage prefer a characteristic of a product over a man's preference. I understand why companies market to those preferences. However, women should not feel pigeon holed. If you like a ce…

I keep struggling with this. I carried Vivobarefoot on my first section thru GA in '12. Then decided to cut the weight, and not carry anything sobo from Katahdin. When fording I took the insoles out, took my socks off, put the shoes back on, forded, dried em best I could, put the insoles back in, put my socks on, and hiked on. Fairly miserable, but I'd do it again where there were fewer fords. That winter I thought about my requirements for a camp shoe. I had no real significant fords left. I wa…

Quote from twistwrist: “On this note, what is the most comfortable sleeping pad you've ever owned? I currently have the 3/4 length thermarest. It's hugely uncomfortable on my back (probably due to breaking it back in November {my back, that is}) and when I sleep on my side, my shoulder gets pushed painfully into the ground. It's doable, but a better night's sleep is worth figuring out before I hit the AT. Looking at this expensive ass thing: amazon.com/Therm-a-Rest-Neo-Ai…words=neoair+sleeping+p…

Quote from TrafficJam: “I ride a Cannondale Synapse road bike. I've been looking at mountain bikes on Craigslist so I can try some bikepacking.” I used to tour, and the bikepacking thing interests me a lot. The new carry systems they've come up with are interesting. It's like UL backpacking meets mountain biking. Bike-Packing-Rig-2nd-Generation.jpg

Quote from BirdBrain: “Post number 4000. 4000 = 4 x 10 x 10 x 10. 4 is the number of my obsession. 10 is the number of all. When something is repeated 3 times, it is done for emphasis. None of this matters to normal people. I suspect there are a few abnormal people here that will appreciate the symmetry. I have hopes that a post of this importance will say something provocative or inspirational (depending on your mindset). So here we go.... ” Nice 4000th! I'm pretty obsessive about planning and …

Quote from Blue Jay La Fey: “Quote from LDog: “Nah, that's bullh*t. If anyone thinks that a place like Kincora can be left to run on autopilot with the assumption that hikers will do the right thing, well then he's a fool, because we know a large percentage of them won't.” As much as I hate to disagree with you my friend, I have to agree with Jack on this one. Bob is no fool, if you find a "historic" place to stay (my words), that does not meet you requirements just move on, it's not like we wal…
