    How many photos do you typically take?

    I take a lot of photos and obviously share them on social media through my Hiking with Shawn brand. Photos do better than videos on most social media pages, too, at least on mine, so I try to share them every day :)

    Security cameras in the forest

    I work in surveillance. I maintain security cameras and watch them for violations. But it's private sector and there is plenty of warning and notice that they're there. Nothing is really hidden.

    When does ultralight become a dangerous act?

    That's about right. That would be miserable!

    Dogs on hiking trails

    And this is important. Some people are terrified of dogs due to past bad experiences. Public land belongs to people, not pets. I'm for taking a leashed dog on the trail but against unleashed because it could cause problems for those who aren't pet-friendly.

    Security cameras in the forest

    I agree. Do it if it's required to mitigate ongoing issues. Don't do it just because you can.

    Looking for New Hiking Boots

    I've used Oboz for years, but they don't seem to be as durable as they were when I first started using them. I've worn Merrell trail running shoes all summer. I like them a lot. I might try their hiking boots next - as long as they have a waterproof option.

    Best Lightweight Camping Chair for Hiking and Travel | Experts Review

    I've never used one yet. I've always just sat on the dirt or a log. I do have a foam comfort pad I thought about using.

    Next year = 50K

    I'm sure Micki would let me switch to the night run when the time comes if I feel like I want to do that one.

    MAKING AMERICA BEAUTIFUL AGAIN BY IMPROVING OUR NATIONAL PARKS

    Personally, I don't support putting a price tag on recreational activities on public land. We pay taxes which already goes to that. I agree with campground fees, etc. because that takes money to operation and it's extra but to pay to hike a trail or park a car? I just can't really get behind that.
