Question: Where is the best place to buy waterproof Vegan hiking boots?
I am a student soon to be starting an archaeology course at university, so I really need some good Vegan hiking boots to wear on digs, and they must be water proof.
As a student obviously I do not have avery big budget… But I am saving as I do need a good pair.
Any suggestions about where I could find some good ones that are not too expensive?
I could probably afford £130 but that would be a stretch for me.

Question: What is the best way to eat while hiking the Appalachian Trail?

Answer:
Answer by andy p
Carry dry meals that require re – H2o. Avoid taking anything in a can.Depending on the time of year you go as what you take with you.Most hikers take mac and cheese.It’s easy to fix and fills you up.Last along time and fuels you with the carbs you’ll need.Other items–apples–a few-small ones – nuts, crackers, jerky,trail mix–you can make your on very cheaply.Since you have 2 hikers with you all of you can split up what you take and still eat well.Hang your food every night your out on the A.T. to keep the bears away.Dehydrated meals are good and can feed 2 to 3 from one pouch.A little high on price though.
Question: What’s the best way to make a camping experience in below-freezing weather comfortable?
I’d like to go camping next weekend but the weather in New Hampshire looks to be in the mid-20′s F. I have a pretty warm sleeping bag. What other measures should I take to enjoy the camping, rather than freezing my butt off and not having a good time?

Answer by teacher
take newspapers to insulate the ground under your bag, make a lean to and try to keep the back facing whatever wind chill that might be about. Wear cotton under wool gloves and socks all night anda knit sock cap as well (do I have to mention long johns or thinsulate under your clothes) ????
Question: Where is the best place to start hiking on the Appalachian trail?
I am planning a 5 day unsupported trip with a freind. We are looking for the best place to start hiking in the northeast. Anyone have any favorite spots they liked?
Answer:
Answer by nickdc1960
My two favorite points are…
Route 7 at Weather Mountain. (aka: Snickers Gap)
or
Route 340 at the VA/WV border.
I like these spots because they both have decent parking areas to leave your vehicle for a few days.
A bit more advice here too. I would highly suggest you try a day hike starting at each of these locations to see how you like the parking areas and the starting points.
Also, do NOT use the shelters they have on the AT. Most shelters are located in close proximity to the highways. This means that the local riffraff like to use them for underage drinking and a place to use illegal narcotics. Take biker/hiker tents and camp in a nice safe spot off of the trail and away from the roadways.
