Q3: Does freedom on the trail mean hiking alone, or does hiking in a group qualify? #GearMeOut
eddieG805
replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 Yes I agree. Most hikes I end up finding something that becomes majestic to me #gearmeout

replying to @ramblRramblR @ramblRramblR I like to test myself each time with something new, eliminate the stoves and sharpen my fire skills or ditch the hammock and lay out on a pad. Always change it up #gearmeout

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival Depends on the group and the size. I feel as if more than 4 or 5 becomes a crowd. #GearMeOut

A3: it depends in the people and their style. Sometime times I just want to hike my hike and not worry about others #GearMeOut

replying to @ramblRramblR @ramblRramblR @t_jh2009 Yes altho most trails around me get visited very frequent but I find almost all on trail have the same mindset and and courteous #gearmeout

replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 Good way to keep it fresh and simple- as well as learn new skills! #GearMeOut
eddieG805
replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 I always just worry about my hike unless with my kiddos then I worry about theirs and often back my pace down #gearmeout
eddieG805
Is there any particular piece of gear that helps you feel more free outside, what is it? #GearMeOut
ramblRramblR
replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 @t_jh2009 That’s good- unfortunately not always the case. Wish there would be PSAs for trail manners! #GearMeOut
eddieG805
replying to @ramblRramblR @ramblRramblR Yes as well as polish up old ones, I’m weight conscious so I always like to see what I can trim #gearmeout

replying to @eddieG805 A good mosquito net in summer time helps make me feel free from the insanity of bug bites #gearmeout

replying to @ramblRramblR @ramblRramblR @t_jh2009 I agree in school we had hiking club which taught us a lot about LNT and other dos and donts #gearmeout

replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 A4) While I carry both my cane and walking stick in my car, the cane is for my everyday life while the walking stick is for my trail life. #GearMeOut

replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 @ramblRramblR @t_jh2009 I wish more schools had that. #GearMeOut

Q5: What trails or parks do you know of that celebrate freedom or patriotism? #GearMeOut
ramblRramblR
replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 A4. Tried, tested, and true sandals which can be used for camping, after hiking, swimming etc. Means you are free & outdoors! :) #gearmeout

replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 We do have those, not to, you know, sound biased or anything. #GearMeOut

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 Love that you switch it up, I hurt my ankle a while back and I ended up useing hiking poles to walk instead of crutches #gearmeout
UST_Survival
replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 Always a great solid choice. It also cuts down on weight than carrying several tools. #GearMeOut

replying to @ramblRramblR @ramblRramblR I like to go barefoot sometimes after a long day of trail miles #gearmeout

A lot of the trails in RMNP were used by settlers to start a new way of life in the American West. #GearMeOut https://t.co/CCfHO6VngI
