Went backpacking with a 20L backpack weighing under 8lbs, sadly I do not have a Rin figure of any kind but this is my first time making food while on a trail head
I just got done with a 12 mile backpacking trip in Caribou Mountain, Idaho and I was shocked by how wild it really was up there. For the whole 12 miles, I saw 2 bikers for the first 3 miles but after that there was no evidence that humans had been there in months, there wasn't even any litter or plastic items. The wild cattle were EVERYWHERE and seemed high strung for some reason, I would stay on trail and just look at them and they would begin following me wagging their tail. There was also a TON of blackbear poop and a handful of mule deer. I was surprised on how rugged it can feel only about a 40 mile drive from town. Has anyone else hiked these mountains before and what was your impression? I thank God that I didn't see any of the bears that the locals kept warning me about, especially since they are supposed to be more aggressive now that hibernation season is coming up
Sometime this week I’m hoping to hike the Presidential Traverse in New Hampshire, weather permitting. I’m just looking for some sort of reality check on the book times, which are 12-14 hrs for ~20 miles and ~9000ft. I am fit, and have plenty of experience hiking/backpacking. I’ve done the Pemigewasset loop in the Whites, and moved quickly over that ridgeline. I’ve done 20 miles with a heavy pack and plenty of daylight to spare - albeit over maybe easier terrain than the whites. I understand the potential risks posed by the extreme weather, although this week looks good other than cloud cover.
Just looking for someone to tell me if I’m grossly underestimating this.
wife and I have a Barnett Wildcatt recurve (260fps) and a Wicked Ridge Invader (400fps). sadly, just target shooters since there is no huntable land in our area. ironic seeing how we own 10 acres and are surrounded by miles and miles of rural land, and no houses. sadly, there is no structure or cover to attract/house game. I have looked into public lands, they only offer bird hunts. private land leases *start* at $25k PER GUN/BOW. that's retarded, and canned hunts are weaksauce anyway.
dead eye shot in picrel was at 50yds with the Invader.
Recently moved to JC, TN from the west coast, life is good here. While I enjoy my comfy times and walking to the grocery store again, I don't know where to start exploring here.
Any tips, do I start here in Appalachia or do I go right to the Smokys? Any good day hikes?
