Good luck and all the best with your plan approvals... I would've had so many enemies by now with my temper had things not gone my way.... Just reading the way you write shows the patience and strength you possess... Keep going and keep the adventure coming, as previously said, you are an inspiration.... Regards, Zack
I like it, not so much the sponsor logo's on the frame though... each to his own I guess... Then again, they are getting him to and kitting him at the Olympics, a whole lot more than our government is doing for the athletes at the Olympics... ***SIGH*** I hope this government will wake up and smell the coffee already... Then again, maybe I should wake up and smell reality...
I'm glad I started this thread, thanx guys to all the responses, I greatly appreciate the advice... @Gerald, definitely going to do the boots in bag thing, never thought of taking an extra pair of shoes with until you mentioned that... Keep the posts coming, I'm sure lots of value and info sharing for other trails too...
Ok, now you guys are all saying buy good quality, where from though? There are plenty brands out there too.... What do you suggest? What are your personal preferences?
That's the thing with different hiking trails... I know the whale trail, the rangers carries the big bags between the huts, but the Otter, you have to carry your own stuff... So, bigger bag definitely needed, but at the same time, What size and how strenuous to actually carry it? So yeah... Looking forward to advice as well...
Any Hiking Enthusiasts out there? Myself and a couple of buddies (all non-hikers) are planning to do the Otter Trail in November, but getting many different opinions and advice from previous hikers that did it... What would you recommend (To those who have done it) to actually take with?: Size Back PackFoodstuffs?Clothes?How to cross the river (a section of the trail suggests that you need to get through the river to continue with the trail)Or just any advice regarding this beautiful scenic piece of Heaven in our beutiful countryI used to do day hikes before in and around Cape Town area, but no overnight hikes... So I'm new to this.... Looking forward to this discussion... Oh, and where's the best place to buy the things that we would/might need? I've been to various hiking shops (Outdoor Warehouse/Cape Union Mart, etc.), shoo, didn't expect stuff to be that expensive....
I make use of my Makeshift Garage and the compact workshop of mine... But it works for me, I'm just glad I don't live in a complex with their restrictions... I can do as I please and my neighbours are quite cool and accomodating...
I actually don't like shopping on "One Day Only" purely due to their stupid policy of "If we need to pay for shipping, so should you" or something like that and the fact that there delivery time is really ridiculous... Some nice bargains to be had, but their shipping time and policy puts me off...
Another Addition to my tool collection, I don't know what this is worth and probably not all that much, but just love the way it was packaged, still need to make use of it proper...
