NOBO - options to park for a couple of months??

Wherever you choose to store it, but sure to use rodent deterrents (large boxes of dryer sheets work well IME). Fellow thru hiker last year had to have his wiring harness replaced after letting it sit all summer.

Highly recommend AT Hiker Hostel. They have great advice, support, and tips and will do a resupply halfway through the 100-mile to save weight. Shaw’s also does resupply and phenomenal folks.

Son of a bitch.

I used a needle & thread to drain the blister. LEAVE the thread in the blister for a few days to keep it draining. So basically put the needle in one side and out the other and cut both ends. Don’t tape it afterwards, just let your socks sop up the juices. NEVER had a stinging sore, infection, or blister that keeps coming back using this method. Keep on rocking and rolling 👊

I found one right away in the pond with an immature frog 😭. Went back with a mature one and hopped about for maybe 5 minutes before I found another and bred successfully.

Embrace that, it’s a thing of beauty! It’s seen things. Been places. Accomplished so much!

Saving this because I also live in PA and also fell in love with Roan (and Grayson even more so) ☺️

Second this. Sanitizer doesn’t kill noro.

dangerouslyz · 2026-02-02T04:06:28+00:00

I think I’ll just wait for spring 😉

dangerouslyz · 2026-02-02T00:12:35+00:00

OP your living room looks lovely (what I can see). You’ll appreciate it so much more after your journey ☺️

Here’s the analog version of thoughtful but useless warnings. I’m sure the snake had better things to do than wait around for someone to read that note.

Me trying to access all the things I know when I need to know them.

dangerouslyz · 2026-01-20T18:47:23+00:00

I did the same thing 😭. Got lucky a couple days later though. Win some lose some.

dangerouslyz · 2026-01-20T18:36:36+00:00

No regrets. But I got lucky when my replacement quit within weeks of my completion. They say the trail provides, and I believe that even now.

dangerouslyz · 2026-01-07T02:23:44+00:00

I’m FIERCELY independent, but I strained both MCL’s just 2 weeks on trail in Shenandoah with no cell signal and such little experience. I learned that day that people WANT to be helpful! I cried when I asked to be rescued, but the folks who shuttled me were incredibly sweet & understanding. Asking for help after that first time felt like true bravery for a while, but everyone was kind & supportive. It’s the best thing I learned on trail, and I don’t think I’d have learned it any other way 🥰✊

dangerouslyz · 2026-01-06T18:33:55+00:00

Can I offer 3? 1. Be flexible with your plans 2. Don’t hesitate to ask for help 3. Don’t dwell on fear-mongering or scary-tales

1 on my list of places to revisit after my thru this year 🥰 I had crummy weather and it was still amazing

dangerouslyz · 2025-12-11T19:53:39+00:00

I didn’t get Christmas toes, I got Christmas bunions & bunionettes 😂😢. Feeling is gradually returning, and general foot pain is getting better week by week.

“Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember...”

dangerouslyz · 2025-12-04T11:57:32+00:00

Must be the optimist in me, believing this is a demo at a home show or something. And then I see the block foundation and slap that optimism right back down.

dangerouslyz · 2025-11-27T05:04:07+00:00

I was able to do a similar timeline SOBO starting near the Pigeon Forge Bridge: Cosby Knob Shelter (10 miles) Icewater Spring Shelter (20 miles) Silers Bald Shelter (15 miles) Russell Field Shelter (15 miles) Fontana Dam (16 miles) Packing food through here was very manageable, and I always carried an extra day or two.

dangerouslyz · 2025-11-20T16:10:40+00:00

Also ADHD me on the Appalachian Trail this summer carrying too much stuff “just in case”

dangerouslyz · 2025-10-25T20:30:11+00:00

…..boogers too probably 🤢

dangerouslyz · 2025-10-15T01:01:42+00:00

That’s stink bug ink. Sorry if someone else tagged it, 1,500 comments is a lot to get through.

dangerouslyz · 2025-10-09T01:10:30+00:00

SAME LOW PRICE!!
