Feral Hiker: May 2007
http://feralhiker.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 24, 2007. Bear books and attacks. I am heading for Yellowstone National Park to hike and camp this weekend. In preparation for my trip I just finished reading The Mark of the Grizzly. I've read several other books on bears and bear attacks, most notably Steven Herrero's Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance. Herrero's book offers specific guidance on avoiding and surviving both black and grizzly bear attacks and is considered the best text on the subject. But it was not yet reported there.

Feral Hiker: December 2006

Saturday, December 30, 2006. Black Bears and hiking. In both of the cases above I'm sure the bears were aware of me, I wasn't that far away and had been making noise. I've wondered what I would do if I were to meet a bear on the way out. Of a trail. I guess I would just do my best. Posted by feralhiker @ 8:43 AM. Links to this post. Saturday, December 23, 2006.

Feral Hiker: April 2007
http://feralhiker.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 28, 2007. Meeting hikers on the trail. However I do try to give accurate information even if I think they should have a decent map; I've been less prepared than I should be before also. Posted by feralhiker @ 7:00 PM. Links to this post. Saturday, April 21, 2007. Posted by feralhiker @ 1:15 PM. Links to this post. Sunday, April 15, 2007. And was miserable for weeks. I hadn't had any trouble but did not want to chance infection. To lower my risks of water- borne. Hiking on a warm, very dry...

Friday, June 22, 2007. Yellowstone River/Specimen Ridge trail. I've been meaning to finish up my series of hikes in Yellowstone this May/June but work has been very demanding.

Feral Hiker: January 2007
http://feralhiker.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 30, 2007. I need to find better trail food to eat, food I eat during the hike rather than before or after. I'm in a rut now and find I don't eat enough during the hike. Of course like many adult Americans, losing some weight would be good but I would do better by eating adequately during the hike rather than over-eating after the hike because I'm famished. Posted by feralhiker @ 6:14 PM. Links to this post. Wednesday, January 24, 2007. Handicapped parking for backcountry trails. Obviousl...

Feral Hiker: October 2006
http://feralhiker.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 29, 2006. Gear - "you get what you pay for". Another issue are the very light items for ultralight packing such as titanium cookware which are much more expensive than aluminum or stainless steel. Yes, the light items weigh less and are functional but aren't necessarily better or more functional than other materials. And some ultralight gear must be handled carefully or they will break or tear, not items for a beginner. Posted by feralhiker @ 7:02 AM. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Feral Hiker: July 2007
http://feralhiker.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2007. I still hike in the summer, although I try to find areas less popular and shaded thus cooler. In the Pacific NW, cooler weather is usually easy to find on the west side of the Cascades or at higher elevations. Mosquitoes. And normal clothing is adequate unless bugs are really bad. Posted by feralhiker @ 6:15 PM. Links to this post. Sunday, July 15, 2007. PNW trails and storm damage. I've been hiking the local trails since April this year, mostly in the Cascade Mountains near Highwa...
