The Disabled Hiker, Feeling Earth, Part 10

Episode 4, Feeling Earth

Part 10, The Human Quadruped

Few backpacking tools hold the status that walking sticks and trekking poles do with me when it comes to getting me back out on the trail again. But giving up my old set of walking sticks was no easy task. However, once I hit the trail with the Apex Trekking Poles by Outdoor Products, I started wondering if I would ever return to my old set.

Affordable and lightweight, there seem to be nothing the Apex trekking poles couldn't do that the more expensive models could. Except perhaps empty out your wallet of course.

But as a person that can suffer dexterity issues on extremely high pain days, I found a set of household kitchen items that can restore much of your grip on things again.

Wrapping up part 10 is a small feature on adjusting your trekking poles to the proper height. Proper height adjustment can make all the difference when traversing the ups and downs of many wilderness trails.

Interview With A Thru-Hiker

Dennis 'Octopus' Plato, 

of The Bus Question blog 

 

Interview by Terry Craig- The Disabled Hiker

 

 rec: July 27, 2015, in Wind Gap, Pa.

I got to know Dennis Plato after watching one of his video equipment shakedowns on YouTube early this year. Dennis was already well into the planning stages to begin a complete hike of the Appalachian Trail, starting in Georgia and ending  on Mount Katahdin in Maine.

I had been looking for someone to follow on the Appalachian Trail in the hopes of meeting up with them here in Pennsylvania for an interview about their experiences. Dennis, who had not yet been given the trail name "Octopus" as of yet, seemed to be the perfect candidate.

Only a small percentage (est, 20% each year)  will actually finish the entire hike from Maine to Georgia. But I've got a funny feeling our friend Dennis 'Octopus' Plato will be among them.

I would like to take a moment to thank our friend Dennis Octopus Plato of The Bus Question blog

for stopping by to talk with us. 

We'll see you on the other side of Mount Katahdin.

Good luck my friend.

Terry

As a kid I got poison ivy all the time... If I'd only known about the
cure that often grows right next to where poison ivy is most often
found?
