    Watch for leeches onward in the North. (Just what you wanted not to hear.) Body Glide on the hour! Be kind to yourself in those dangerous heat conditions. Safety first! Good luck!

    Hello Mike and Leo,
    I am a new NH AT 😇. I do not advertise on traditional sources. Instead, I personally select who I am willing to assist for my own personal safety reasons. You and especially Leo made need some help as you traverse NH. Since I am familiar with most of the AT/NH route intersections, we can arrange to meet anywhere between Hanover and Shelburne. I do have a very good AT through hiker reference on RUclips if you are interested.😇

    • @todd4480
      @todd4480 3 месяца назад

      As of now, you have advertised to nearly 2000 people and given us your location. I'm just saying that if you're concerned about safety, seems like there's a better way to offer assistance.

    Great idea using sticks. I have seen other hikers using their tent stakes in a similar way. Take care of the rash. Another hiker got infection from a rash and had to leave trail.

      A zip lock back of gold bond medicated powder is so worth the extra grams of weight. Knocks out chaffing and rash.

    You're going to need something tougher than body glide to help with the chafing. Desenex, Vaseline, A & D ointment, Boudrous Butt paste, etc. With what you've described, you can get staph in that area.

    Be careful because the heat will catch you before you realize it. I work at a 911 center and the heat calls are starting to increase each day. Did Leo get in the water with you?

    The .2 to the Killington summit is worth it but it is steep! I slacked up from the platforms then picked up my other equipment on the way back down. There were bathrooms and water up top and a great view. Good luck heading to NH and hopefully the weather cooperates in the Whites!

    Your were definitely blessed by a Trail Angel today!! Please make sure to add electrolytes to your drinking water, can dogs have electrolytes? Ramdino uses LMNT electrolytes … White Admiral butterflies are beautiful, they are a northern species… 17 miles is absolutely nothing to frown about! Thank goodness for the cold plunge! … keep pushing those miles …Hike on…

    • @musingwithreba9667
      @musingwithreba9667 3 месяца назад +3

      Dogs cannot have electrolytes like what we drink, but a plain beef bone broth powder is a good equivalent for them.

    • @PawsitivelyWildandFree
      @PawsitivelyWildandFree 3 месяца назад +2

      No electrolytes, but adding some powdered chicken broth or beef broth into their water works really well if they are not wanting to drink.
      I’ve also added a little plain applesauce and they love that!
