Thru-Hiker's

| Dave's outdoor page: www.members.tripod.com/gohike/
--- Dave's website is simply the "coolest" outdoor oriented website that I have
ever seen. He's the modern day Grizzly Adams. He lives and tells about the
adventures most people only dream about or read about in books. |
| Outfitters / Gear |
| The Outfitter at Harpers Ferry --- Great Gear, at Great Prices. Run by Ron and Laura aka Chore Boy and Cootie Queen. |
| Tinman's webpage: http://www.antigravitygear.com I used a can stove made by Tinman for 99% of my thru-hike. |
