Like.

I agree with the advice about walking as the best way to train. The biggest challenge with walking alone is finding time to do it. Walking 15 kms takes the average person about 4 hours. If you’re not retired or unemployed finding multiple 4 hr...

Good advice above, especially training on hills and/or stairs. I think it’s very important to train with your backpack and the kind of clothes you think you’ll wear. Then you can make adjustments. It will be too late once you get there and...

Desert Bruce reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Before yesterday I didn't know that . . . with Like.
Often! I have a patch on my backpack and meet people in airports all the time. We also have a shell sticker on our pickup topper and have met people in the grocery store parking lot as well on the road to other places such as in Canada and Alaska...
