    • ]]>     I am a pretty good hiker and have done many hikes and camping trips in the wilderness in all seasons in the United States. I was planing to to a solo hiking trip for a few days in the French Alps. Anyone suggest any good gear besides from the basic winter camping gear? Any other suggestions would be nice too

    • ]]>     For over 20 years I have dreamed of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, which travels over 2,600 miles from Mexico to Canada. After surviving over ten years of some pretty serious depression, I am finally ready to start a new life and would love to finally do the trail before I get too old! Do any boot, backpack, tent manufacturers etc. ever sponsor hikers in desperate need…and if so does anyone know how to go about asking or applying?
    I am planning on writing a book and maintaining a web site about my struggles, both with the hike and the depression as well as (hopefully) my triumph in conquering both. I would be happy to put their logos all over my site, test their gear and give them reports, etc. I just don’t know how to get something like that going.
    Thanks!

    • ]]>     Imagine that you can outfit yourself for free for a 100 mile hike in a summer’s week of diligent walking. You’re trying to be inconspicuous and have as little contact with other people as possible during that week. Much of the hike will be cross-country, but a good bit will be along the roadside also.
    What brand and size backpack would you choose?
    What shoes (make & style) would you wear? For example: New Balance trail running shoes or Montrail hiking boots. (Specify model name if you have a preference.)
    What shelter and bedroll would you carry? Tent or hammock? What make? Sleeping bag or just a blanket? (Remember, it’s a summer hike.)
    Would you carry along a camp stove, and if so which model?
    What sort of toiletries, tools and cleaning items would you take along?
    What sort of clothes would you wear: fabric, cut, color?
    What kind of food & drink would you carry, and how much?
    What would all this stuff volume & weigh? Can you carry that much in the pack?

    • ]]>     I’ve hiked little haystack which is in the area, and i did the triple summit up there with no problem. I’m not an experienced hiker but I have youth and fitness on my side.
    I’ve never done a hike that has required “hiking gear” and I don’t know if this will.
