Quote from TrafficJam: “If anyone's considering this hike, don't let me scare you...it's really not that tough.

Quote from twistwrist: “Toli, where did you live in Ga? I don't know much about kayaks as I usually rent mine, but I LOVE kayaking! I'm considering some aqua hiking when I get to NOC. Dmax, sounds like you and your wife have a blast!” Outside of Dahlonega... I lived on Dicks Creek, in the Chattahoochee NF... I could walk to Neel Gap...

Quote from Dmax: “This year we bought two recreational kayaks from dicks sporting goods. We had a lot of fun this year with them. We've taken them to Wautaga Lake a few times and even loaded them down with gear for overnighters. weve taken them to Myrtle and paddled some backwater and paddled the inlet to Waites Island from Cherry Grove. We also went down the lower Nolichucky which was a lot of fun. But our kayaks sure weren't made for that kind of water. My wife spent more time out of the kayak…

Quote from WiseOldOwl: “Liptons (Knorr) Pasta/Rice Sides 110 calories per ounce (with olive oil and tuna) Liptons Sides are another inexpensive, easy-to-prepare meal that most long distance hikers wouldn’t do without. Originally intended as a side dish, Liptons rice and pasta sides make an excellent main course for a hungry hiker. Ignore the instructions, which call for too much water, simmering and additional ingredients. All you really need to prepare Lipton’s sides is 1.5 cups of water, a sto…

Quote from twistwrist: “One of my mountain crashes was in Blood Mountain, Ga, several years ago. The bike flew down a mountain drop. I just slid a ways. The frame was bent but I rode her home nonetheless. RIP first bike ever. Yeah, we should start another thread, huh? lol” No need girl... Im pretty sure this site was built on the premise of doin' it wrong, and thread drift ... Pretty sure we got 'em both covered ...

Quote from twistwrist: “Well, I've got em on fb. I'll have to see if this forum will allow me to post that many pics. If not, I'll upload em somewhere and post a link. My only crashes before this one have been low-side slides on track or in the mountains. This was a low-side turned high-side. I oversteered a corner, ended up leaned over in grass/sand. The bike bucked me off like a fuggin bull. I dragged in dirt and tumbled back out onto the track, ending facedown in the middle. Usually post cras…

Quote from WiseOldOwl: “Unlike the other UL 100+ calories foods, Tuna does not have a high caloric density. 3 ounces of tuna has only 90 calories. But it provides something else that is sometimes in short supply on the trail: Protein. (Caveat I prefer Salmon as its less dry) Protein is not as important as carbohydrates for energy, but it is important for cell rejuvenation and muscle maintenance (and it tastes good). Other types of meat which are good for backpacking are: foil pack salmon, chicke…

Quote from twistwrist: “Cool. Will do. Thanks!” Use a piece of string, and lay 2 fingers on top of ur wrist, so its large enough to go over a shirt, but not large enough to fall off...

Quote from twistwrist: “Yeah. After 2 dozen track days, this was definitely not my first crash, but it was, however, the first one that hurt. Did you see the pictures? I have a slew of 'em...every second of the crash and resulting tumble. Proof of just how lucky I was in this one that things weren't worse.” Just saw the 2, where are the rest??? I only "High sided" once, all the rest were just losing the front wheel, and speed appropriate long slides on my a$$... My high-side was on Cedar Mountai…

Quote from twistwrist: “There is a 90% chance of snow here in Athens, Ga Wednesday. In November. In Georgia. If I have to be without a bike for a few weeks, seems I picked a good time to crash.” The guy who built and tuned my race bike always said "There's only 2 types of racers, those that crashed, and those that are going to crash"... He was right, multiple times, lol...
