I was thinking about buying a hammock for the a.t. What are the pros and cons of a hammock. Also where would i put my pack. Shouldn't i be afraid of rodents getting into it, ants, people, or bears? -thanks

sry 4 the double post

I went on my first small hike on the Appalachian trail mid June of the year to brake in the new gear and somewhat of a trail run. Mistakes were aplenty on this trip and we cut it off after 2 days. lol. I live in Delaware, where the elevation changes are few and only by a couple of feet. So even a mild elevation change is a big one. I went with my dad after a while of planning. The biggest thing we learned was, we are not in shape what so ever. It was a big wake up call as we used muscles that have barely been used during day hike in flat ol' Delaware. Much more training will be expected before our next hike. The second thing is PACK LESS CRAP! The saying every ounce count is not exaggeration. After my first backpacking trip I will see packing in a whole different perspective. My dad and I are hoping to do a much longer hike next year [2009]. -Zirn

Whats your budget?

I'm thinking about getting a new gps. I was looking at the oregon 300 by garmin. Pros/cons? any gps recomendations? Advice appreciated

MMM you know whats good... caribou coffee bars....

Not cool i totally would not touch that thing lol

My 8th grade science teacher did a lesson on new types of technology. She had us go out on to school grounds and find a box of candy with the gps. I already had a gps so gave it a try and have been hooked. I cache with my father.

I leave a 2 dollar bill in mine to give you a bit' o luck in the next cache and i dont think scratch offs are gambling unless your the one purchasing the card

I also have problems finding micros or nanos.... Well actually i havent found one at all despite about three hunts for them. I try to look for where i would hide them but to my disappointment i havent found one. I noticed the magnetic nano smaller then a dime. How is one supposed to find somthing that small????? Tips Please -TJZ

Hey, I'm looking into buying a new garmin gps for geoaching. I was wondering if anybody had any advise on one. (200-300$$$) One with a usb cable, or if you know of another fast way to upload caches

I am placing a micro geocache. I've never placed one before and I have not yet found one. I was wondering about what to put in it. What to use as a logbook? If any tradgin items should be put in? Any advise would help...
