    Hike in the rain

    I've hiked Little Grand Canyon in heavy rain. It was sketchy as heck but still a lot of fun. We had LGC all to ourselves that day LOL.

    Will you hike in the rain? Is there a certain amount of rain where you draw the line? Have you ever hiked in torrential rainfall?

    What got you into trail running?

    I remember being my skinniest around COVID, and then I guess I found food again lol.

    Wearing orange all the time

    I have so much black clothing. I wear a lot of athletic type clothing hiking and running and most of the brands just make stuff in black. A lot of it is compression clothing so I reckon they feel black makes look better. But brighter colors might be the best option. I can find brighter shirts...

    What got you into trail running?

    I know a lot of folks that started their outdoor and exercise journey around COVID. I started biking and hiking way before, so I was well into it by then.

    Wearing orange all the time

    We wear orange on the trail during hunting season, but should we wear it all the time just to be safe and visible? Do you try to be visible on the trail when you hike? No matter what season it is?

    What got you into trail running?

    My story is pretty lame. I signed up for a trail running half marathon because it goes through the Shawnee National Forest. After doing a few training runs, I've discovered I enjoy it a lot. I'm getting better and better, too. How about you all? What got you into trail running?

    Hydration Pack vs. Hydration Vest

    A hydration pack is something like a Camelback backpack with a water bladder in it and some storage space. A hydration vest is what a lot of trail runners wear, and it seems to secure to your body more. Which team are you and why? Vote on the poll and reply :)

    Heights

    How are you with heights? Can you hike trails that get close to the edge of tall cliffs? Scenic overlooks? Sky bridges? For the most part, heights don't bother me. But I do get a little dizzy around them, so I don't get too close just to be safe. When I was younger, I didn't care but nowadays...

    Day Hiking Fort Henry Branch Trail

    We hiked a loop on the Fort Henry Trail System in Tennessee a few weekends ago. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/tennessee/fort-henry-branch-trail It was around 6 miles. It was mainly just a walk in the woods. There were no major things to see but it was a fun loop to hike. One could also...
