The second map you posted it looks like part of it extends all the way up towards Alaska and back down again, I can understand the more southern parts of the trail getting a lot of use but that seems strange to me. I am really thankful for our great national parks system.

5 pairs of swimming shoes? Why so many!!!? One pair would be more than enough for me, unless you're buying for a family or something

I have a portable handheld Garmin GPS, it is meant for drivers on the road but it works just great in the wilderness too. I haven't had to use it in an emergency yet, but it is nice to know that it's there.

That's unbelievable, is it from coast to coast? Do you know how long it has been under construction? I would imagine some parts of it have been around for years and years but there was also lots of effort to connect it all together.

Are those pictures from a trip you took recently? I mean did you do any camping, or just drive by?

Nice, how did you get it started. It looks pretty light on tinder But yeah those thick logs should burn nicely :D

I think kayaks are the most fun but if I were buying it would be a canoe because they are the most versatile for tripping

Hahaha, good one! You just earned yourself the Court Jester trophy

Well for long trips, ice is really your only option Although I have thought of experimenting with some solar panels and a small mini-fridge but I fear it might use too much power.

That isn't enough to put you off eating meat though is it? ;)

... Well actually, some of them I did think of 18 awesome camping gear ideas you never would have thought of

Haha of course, that would apply to me too. How does it compare to the Puerto Rican ones?

When you enter the water the life jacket is going to want to float and you are going to want to sink. To make sure it fits right you should pull the jacket upwards, if it fits right it will stay in place and you head should not slide down too much. There are usually straps under the arms that...

Gotta be careful with the inflatable ones though, sometimes a root or rock under your tent can case a leak and you wake up lying on the ground

Sweet, everyone in the picture looks very comfortable :D Is the camping hammock you have the kind that you can sleep in overnight as a replacement for a tent?

One of my favorite camp fire dessert recipes is chocolate rice crispies, you can make them in a big pot over the fire and eat them off a spoon once they've cooled a little bit.

That's why I find protein bars are a good mix of sugar, protein and fats. If I eat pure sugar I will crash again quickly and be worse off than when I started lol
