They say it takes three weeks of repetitive action before a habit develops. Last Sunday marked my third week on the Appalachian Trail. If the saying is true, then I have developed the following habits: My natural state is walking. Hiking poles feel as if they’re extensions of my arms. I consume the same amount […]
The following short clip from Day 2 of Badger’s journey up the Appalachian Trail shows why he now carries a few extra diapers with him at all times. You’ll see.
3.31.11 Answer: San Diego Remember that time I thought Low Gap was cold? That night the temperature got down to 28 degrees (obviously Fahrenheit, Centigrade can suck it). Cold enough to have me in my sleeping bag by 7:30pm. Cold enough to frost my rain fly. Cold enough to make sleeping as unlikely as being […]
3.25.2011 It’s late afternoon of day # 4 We stroll into Low Gap Shelter after a beautiful 13-mile hike. To this point, all hiking has been done in shorts and t-shirt. I have what could be considered the ginger version of a tan. After four consecutive days of averaging 10 miles up and down strenuous […]
Hey team. It’s night number four- it’s 45 degrees inside my tent (I can see my breath), AT&T is granting me 3 seconds of service per hour, and I just pooped in a privy. If that’s not the perfect equation for a trail update- I don’t know what is. I’m going to keep it brief […]
So I’m leaving for a six month hike. Today. And I squeezed in one last guest post at the buzzer. EHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Jen Friel – a super awesome human, lifecaster, creator of Talk Nerdy to Me Lover, and the one responsible for getting the ball rolling with all of our sponsorship, suggested swapping guest posts prior […]
UPDATE: I have since successfully thru-hiked the AT! Who would’ve thought? (see: not most people) This is what I recommend for an Appalachian Trail Gear List Today’s task: figure out how to get six months worth of stuff onto my back. After months of trying to obtain sponsorship from companies, diligent research, pestering The Daily Camel […]
My friend- Lauren Lienhard- made a very nice card wishing me good luck on the Appalachian Trail. Instead of being selfish and hogging it all to myself, I made it into a video instead. In this video, we learn of the radical transformation the Good Badger shall go through in his first 100 days on […]
The premise for this one is pretty simple. 1) You ask questions 2) I drink 3) I answer A big thanks to everyone who submitted questions. I’m going to try and squeeze in one last video before I embark, so be sure to like the Good Badger on Facebook and follow me on Twitter to […]
Nature will do all that it can to restrict your ability to eat like the rightful monarch that you are. That’s why in this lengthy 35 second video not only do you learn how to eat like a king, but you learn what a beetle/dinosaur looks like in the process. Just so you know eating […]
