[at-l] A Few More Questions
- Subject: [at-l] A Few More Questions
- Date: Friday, January 15, 1999 5:02 PM
I was sitting in the loo not long ago, and I came up with a few more questions for you
experienced thru-hikers.
1. Should I bring the big cover thingee for my tent?
2. What do you do about... you know... girls and stuff on a trip that long?
3. Hatchet or saw? Which is more useful on the AT?
4. I can borrow a "Little Mermaid" sleeping bag from the kid next door. Anyone have
any experience with these? Durability? Warmth?
5. About how many days will a Quarter Pounder With Cheese keep on the trail? Is that
time reduced in warm summer months?
6. Are there any books or maps about the AT?
7. Should I bring a gun, just in case? How about a cellular phone?
8. I don't want to leave my dogs at home. They are 8 of the most well-behaved
labrador retrievers you would ever meet. Will bringing them negatively affect my
wilderness experience? Is there food available for them on the trail?
9. If I meet a trail angel, and he offers me a Coke, and I want Sprite... I can ORDER
him to go get me a Sprite, right? I read that somewhere I think.
10. What's the total amount of money, including everything, that you get when you get
to Maine?
