    Take first aid seriously!

    https://people.com/hiker-burn-camping-skillet-sepsis-double-amputation-exclusive-8779198 A little burn from a skillet turns into sepsis and leads to a double amputation!

    The ice looks beautiful on the bluffage! I had a meeting with Forest Service the other day. Once they get the roads cleared everywhere, they'll start to assess and work on trails. I'm sure it will be a multi-organizational effort.

    Trail closures

    How do you feel about trail closures? I'm not talking about temporary ones, either. I'm talking about trails that have been closed for good. Do you know of any? Have you ever hiked on any before they were closed? Was there any that you didn't get the chance to hike on?

    Some think we should leave our cameras at home

    How do you feel about this? Some people think leaving the cameras at home would increase the experience. Is this something you practice even if only sometimes?

    Do you use a PLB when you solo hike?

    When solo hiking, do you take a Personal Locator Beacon with you? If yes, what PLB do you have? Have you ever had to use it or have you ever had to almost use it?

    Mountain bikers on hiking trails

    Do you ever experience mountain bikers on hiking trails? Has your experience been positive, negative, or something else? How do you feel about bikers and hiking sharing the same trail?

    Do you wear blue jeans hiking?

    Blue jeans or denim, in particular, have always been on the "no-no" list for hiking apparel because it doesn't breathe well. Do you wear them hiking anyways? I do sometimes when we go for a quickie after work.

    Bottles vs. Bladder

    When hiking, do you hydrate by bottle, bladder, or both? Which would you rather use?

    All Terrain Hiking Boots

    I used to not wear waterproof boots, but wet feet when it's really cold is really rough. I use Oboz Boots now.

    Thru-Hiking or Day Hiking

    Day hiking for me. Thru-hiking is too much of a commitment right now. Day hiking is easier to do. A few overnights are good to throw in as well :)

    Trying anything new this year?

    Overnight backpacking is very fun. It's interesting to listen to nature when the sun goes away.
