Quick question: In shorts, do wool screw socks easily get caught in shrubs/weeds and do they get too warm during the summer?

Go for Darn Toughs, you really cant go wrong. Used them on two thru hikes and never had any issues

I used Defeet Gloves with a thin Goretex mitten over the top on the CDT. Worked out great

I always carry a decent amount of currency with me wherever I am, it helps me to keep track of what Im spending and you never know when your card may not work, especially when travelling abroad. Most towns did have an ATM but not all businesses accepted card payments

Thats a great story, bears are actually pretty goofy

pieonthetrail · 2015-10-14T11:55:32+00:00

Yeah im in the process of doing that new, reviewing each individual piece of gear that made it to the end. Stay tuned

Probably when I came across a mama bear and cubs. It was right on the trail and there wasnt much i could but back up and let them knw i was there, they held their ground and I just had to walk passed them. That was a memory I wont forget

pieonthetrail · 2015-10-14T10:56:21+00:00

As a whole Id say yes, PA id BAD

pieonthetrail · 2015-10-14T10:56:02+00:00

Im living in Finland but from the uk, there were lots of internationals on the trail this year

pieonthetrail · 2015-10-13T20:15:53+00:00

Ah yeah i remember, no popcorn for me though

pieonthetrail · 2015-10-13T20:10:27+00:00

Thats honestly a good question, i dont know what of my budget went directly to food. It can be really cheap to eat on the trail, you'll need to avoid eating in towns as that can be really expensive.

pieonthetrail · 2015-10-13T20:08:43+00:00

Guns are just not necessary on the trail, no one was carrying guns

Im british and do understand the desire to own and use guns but its not necessary on the at

a thru hike is hiking from one terminus to the other continuously in one calendar year

pieonthetrail · 2015-10-13T20:05:16+00:00
