Quote from BirdBrain: “Okay... I guess my delay button is not going to win. Some of us "weenies" don't think it is intelligent to cross a wide river that has a dam that could open in a moments notice and likely kill you. I would not call a person stupid for trying unless someone called me a weenie for not trying. I am not bothered by the weenie tag. I have been on a lesser Maine river in a canoe when the dam opened (Saboomic) and I can assure you it was a good thing I was not on foot. I will gla…

Quote from hikerboy: “thousands of miles of trails and i never needed poles. coupla years ago when i was planning my maine section hike, i figured i needed something to assist with stream crossings, as sometimes sticks arent handily available, so i bought a pair of black diamond carbon fibre with cork handles. i only used them a couple of times before i went to maine, and they probably led to me getting hurt, i had found i was focusing too much on pole placement instead of just walking naturally…

Quote from BirdBrain: “Uses? Opinions? Preferences?” never used them, never will

and this passport thing is dumb. you're gonna have a bunch of hikers knockin' on hostel doors to get a stamp with no intention of staying there

i never encourage anybody to thru-hike the trail anymore. it's an awful way to enjoy the woods for most.

Quote from hikerboy: “ive never used gaiters myself.” i used them way back in the early 90s. useless gear. like leki poles

they're talkin' schitt about joe over on WB

Quote from Rasty: “Is this a Lone Wolf approved shelter? http://www.adventure-journal.com/2014/02/weekend-cabin-solvay-hut-matterhorn-switzerland/” yup. i'd stay in there. alone

Quote from TrafficJam: “The environment here is friendlier without being nannyish or hostile.” lord knows i'm tryin' :lol:

Quote from Trebor: “Lone Wolfe - DJ called this morning and said he would like to take you up on the beers. He plans on getting to Damascus on the 10th. He says he will find the Blue Blaze Cafe and try and find you. Is there a better way for him to get in contact with you?” the BB cafe is right on the trail. literally. the 10th is a monday. i'll be there around 4ish as always

Quote from BirdBrain: “I just realized something: We do not have silly "my way is the only best way" debates over here. We have our rants. However, even with the extra freedom we enjoy, we seem to be more respectful of one another. And when we are not, people seem to be more patient with the ignorant rant. I guess I notice all this because I was involved in all that activity on TOS. Hopefully I am doing it less here. I credit much of my transformation to HB's sarcasm when such a proclamation is …

well i agree. the ATC needs to quit promoting thru-hiking. it's no way to really enjoy the woods

yeah but they don't go from t-ball right into the majors. they play ball their whole lives. thru hikin' the AT is like wantin' to run a marathon having never run before

"hiking the entire AT is major league. no one makes the majors when their only experience has been t-ball." WD

beers on me at the Blue Blaze Cafe here in Damascus when you get here. that's if you guys drink beer
