I went on a lot of backcountry hikes over the summer. They involve climbing a mountain and occasionally having to cross a river. My hiking boots are great for mountain climbing/rock scrambling. They support my ankle very well and allow me to walk in ways I couldn't with tennis shoes. They're...
I love going camping and hunting and survival and all that sort of stuff, but my dad always complains about getting all rheumatic (can't blame him cause he's 6'7" or 2m and that weight must make you hell stiff in the back and knees). The most adventurous thing he has ever done is gone out onto...
Hikers often complain of a painful swelling in their fingers after a long day hiking. Others have indicated that

I honestly don't care what people think, but I told some friends (black and white) that I'm going hiking in the mountains and they both said how black people don't go hiking. How are you going to put limitations on your life? Sounds like ignorance to me.
(I'm black and military by the way)
Well I finally got a gun to keep myself safe from coyotes and mountain lions in case I ever need it. Anybody here ever have to use their gun on an animal in a situation of self defense?
Any tips for shooting animals in the woods? I guess it's probably the same as anywhere else maybe you have...

And...
I got a pair of Nike Free 3.0 and I just love the feel. However, I'm going to Angel's Landing and I was just wondering if I should use my Nike Free as my hiking shoes or just this training shoes I got.
