Will Hikerbox Shoes Work? Appalachian Trail $1k Budget Hike Day 16-18 Hot Springs, NC 

Learn something everyday, thanks!

My heart melted. What a sweet woman.

Thank ya!

Could very well be, thanks Rick!

Pack looks brand new 500 miles later

1lb on the foot = 5lb on the back being bs I saw that article too I believe It said it only applies if your doing over 4/5 mph so won't apply to 99% of hikers

Ironically it's the non hiker box shoes that cut me, the la sportivas

Thank you! It's taken care of now, I'm just dealing with a damn infection now

If you have a normal hiking time statt it's not as bad, it just grows up and a ton of it is in Georgia by May

Yep yep got antibiotics seems to be getting better now

Oh yeah hikers eat loads of mashes potatoes

I used tecnu lotion that helped a lot with the itchyness

Using inshot!

@@QuadzillaHikes Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it! Does that mean you're filming on your phone too?

@@conorbrowne3435 filming on a Sony a6700, pull the videos over from SD card via a reader to my phone and edit in inshot

@@QuadzillaHikes Thanks man! Appreciate it!

Sure if you want to send via Zelle or cash app, you can email me on www.couchtotrail.com and I'll pass along that info, much appreciated

No way in hell? Here's the receipt: ibb.co/LJNhNck Reeses left over from last section, pb and honey leftover, the tuna packets were given to me by Buddha, the mashed potatoes left over from last section, the granola was hiker box and one knorr side was hiker box.

Lmao you're going to question my cytc, which has about 1,000% more documentation than any other CYTC ever claimed. Sure, believe whatever you want, I know what I did and some random persons thoughts on the internet won't ever take my experience away from me

I got some math for you Joooooot mate.... 🖕🏾+🖕🏾= 🖕🏾🖕🏾 Any questions...?

Yes! I left some money and she said it'd go toward buying fresh oranges for future hikers. She's so sweet.

It's a fun royalty free music site with some funky stuff haha

The relationships really is what make the long trails so special

Thanks! Cheers!

Very itchy!!

Yeah I don't mean it is literally 1lb heavier, that's the turn of phrase but it is significantly heavier than a non gtx shoe

It's poetbstark

Oh wonderful, take care in this heatwave and happy trails

But the ironic thing is it's my regular shoes that caused the cut and the infection, not the hiker box ones, if anything these shoes saved the infection for 200 miles til I started wearing the la sportivas again after Damascus

Hard to say they all have their pros but ultimately it really comes down to who I hiked them with, it's the experiences with people that make the trails special, but Washington pct is probably the coolest spot if I had to pick

​@@QuadzillaHikeswell then,.. no Maryland trail magic for you! /s

​@@schmitzcjI love MD cause it's so flat and fast 😂

I think it's a "they're hot as fuck and don't breathe at all" thing hahaha

You do know that hot springs north is not in the smokies, right?

Why don't you call the flower police then 😅

It is not illegal to pick mushrooms in the Smokies. Just like other national parks there are limits.

Google it.

@thewanderingtraveler8984 Smokey Mountains NP page states: Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungi, and may be collected under the following conditions: I) at least 100 feet away from roads, parking areas, picnic areas, campgrounds, structures or other facilities. 2) must be edible species only 3) may only be the fruiting bodies growing on soil or rotting logs on the ground 4) are limited to 1 pound per person per day for all fungal species combined www.nps.gov/grsm/learn/management/superintendent-s-compendium.htm Yup,.. Quick Google shows what you can do.
