I love bows the technique it requires is relaxing
You can shoot arrows just as fast as a non-auto gun with the proper training

on topic, when you get to northern md/southern pa I'll hike with you for a bit. It's been a long while since I've set aside time to hike the trail though a few friends of mine have shown interest in the past

People who hike on the AT receive trail names. For one, they're easier to remember than real names. Two, it keeps gender anonymous in most cases. Three, why the hell not?

My trail name is Clarity. Not only does that sum up the reason for my hike in one simple, concise word, but it sounds pretty.

in LA, when you go to raves a lot, you see the same people over and over. eventually they start calling you strange names. people have always called me "that ****ing penguin"

This is the case in MD as well, unfortunately I was entirely too f*cked up at the time to remember the **** people called me

The same seems to hold up at the track, small community of those who stick with it again and again with a bunch of others who come and go quickly

I can see that bright as day, so fitting

It's really the same with any activity there's always a community around it that you can join to really learn what you're doing and have fun, you just need to find it

So next Saturday I'm going on a hike with an overnight camp out in one of the AT shelters. The HIGH that day is 32. I'm getting initiated to hardships on the trail really fuggin' quick. Funny though, I can't wait!

This weekend is kind of like my initiation to the harshness that can be experienced on the AT. I'm doing an overnight in the Smokey Mountains with freezing rain and snow with below-freezing temperatures both days. It's a hike with a few friends, so I won't be alone. It'll be fun to challenge myself. Can I make it and still enjoy hiking in such miserable conditions? We shall see...

Just read through all of this thread...I'm so jealous right now. Being a 14 year veteran of Boy Scouts I was only able to do one big backpacking trip at Philmont for a week....oh well I'm only 23 and I have lots of time left.

Hiking the AT or the PCT has been a dream of mine, I don't really want to go from end to end, but by sections works.

I have taken many smaller hikes and long canoe trips, many of which I'll never forget. I although am terrible with packing WAY too much. Hell, I went from my backcountry cabin in Philmont, NM at 7000ft over a 12000ft mountain, down to 5000ft in 12 miles in less than 5 hours, all while being chased by a lightning storm and wearing a 65lb pack full of laundry and camera gear. The last 2000ft dropped in less than half a mile, yeehaa!

So yeah I can't wait to get a real job (recently graduated) and do a similar trip to what you are planning Ally. Keep up the great work and keep us updated.

BTW this weekend was super mega cold with all that ice...stay warm!

Learn to love the beans!!!! They transport and store well and will keep ya entertained later.

Super easy to make because the less you do to them the better. Really easy to make on the trial because it's light and dry until made.

This is cottage ham, white beans, water and salt. Tastes great and will keep ya going. The biggest problem is they take a while to make, so best start these while you sleep overnight.

Tip: Crack some of the bean casings off before cooking so they break down and create a thick broth.

You also might enjoy the turbo boost while going up the hill from you human exhaust vent.

honestly the best meals i've ever had looked like they were made mostly of cow ****. i had these fried octopus balls one time. they looked like a -5 out of 10 on the appealing scale. but they were a 15 out of 10 on the delicious scale.

"Black stacks" on Viking Mtn in Greeneville, TN.-on the AT

Buffalo Mtn. overlooking Johnson City, TN

"The Balds" on Roan Mtn.-Roan Mtn. TN also on the AT

Anyone gonna be riding the twisties near Amicalola Falls next weekend? If so, you should stop by for the AT kick-off party! I'm pretty excited about attending and camping a couple of nights. If it weren't for having to finish out the school year, I'd be hitting the trial next weekend, but instead, I'm gonna party with others who are.

I updated my trail journal after my first experience solo hiking and camping up a mountain with a 30-pound pack on my back. Yes. Bring on June!!

I've got several other hikes with a few multi-day adventures planned before the big trip starting on June 6. Holy hell, it's close!

I'd probly "camp" in a rv or cabin, but my days of cots, truck hoods, in a hole, on the ground... That crap is over!
It sure is nicer to go to a bathroom that to dig a hole and squat! Regular showers I love! All this clean off with baby wipes or pour water on your head would only be good if I had a waterfall and minions... Sexy sexy minions

Spent last night on top of a mountain in a tent with a hiking buddy and my dog. The temps were in the teens.
Well, I survived it and actually enjoyed it! Go figure.

Next week over Spring Break, I'll be out hiking for 4 nights! It'll be my longest adventure in the woods yet.

My down sleeping quilt is rated for 20 degrees. In cold weather, I also take a "travel sack" rated for 55 and snuggle into both. Plus I dress in layers, wear a hat and gloves to bed, and having a dog and a friend provided enough body heat to,well, not sleep peacefully, but I had enough heat to at least lay there awake for 7 hours. No sleep, but I listened to owls all night and thought a lot. Tired today, but worth it.

Heading out on a 4-5 night hike on the Benton MacKaye Trail for spring break as of tomorrow! It'll be my longest time living in the woods yet. Psyched as hell!

Went on a short hike around Unicoi Gap yesterday. What's noteworthy was that it was my first time camping overnight somewhere with Ms. Maya, my yellow lab. She's always an incredible hiking buddy who stays within sight and comes back frequently to check in on me as we plug along. She loves the trail! However, camping was a bit more of a hassle with a pup who relishes playing in the mud while I filter water, rolling herself in bear ****, and flying 90 to nothing down icy slick rocks, giving her worrywart mama a heart attack. She's my little dare devil! I can relate. Nighttime was interesting as Maya planted herself right in between Guardian and me; I gave her the coat off my cold back to cover up her pitifully shivering ass nice and cozy.
I slept on Blue Mountain in a tent with a pretty cool new friend. The temps were around 20 degrees overnight. It snowed a few times. The sound of snowflakes brushing the tent was I was nestled beside Guardian with my dog smack dab in between us. I lied awake listening to the music of an owl in the tree beside my tent. I slept not a wink, rather, I thought and listened and reflected.
It was magical (in a frozen kind of way!)

Lesson learned - Maya is wonderful on day hikes or overnighters. I don't think she enjoyed the camping part much. Spoiled brat.

Am I reading this correctly?

If the dog is cold, and you are cold, cuddle for warmth. Common sense. You don't have to tell anyone or blog about it, just do what must be done.

Staying alive is an art, not a symphony. Someone/something might be playing out of key, but the music still must be made. When the music stops, we all die.

Mush on, trooper.
