    Walking out of Denver

    I was walking out of Denver, Colorado with no money; well that's not true-- I had a hundred dollar bill folded in my wallet and fifty cents in the right front pocket of my black denim Levi's.

    Walking Routes?

    When you find yourself traveling long distances by foot what types of routes do you stick to? Do you avoid busy roads and only take back roads? Any advice is helpful, there are a few states I want to do this in purely for taking in the sights.

    Benefits of travelling by bike rather than walking?

    I was thinking about walking once I start travelling on the road which I thought was a good idea, but the only thing is it would be more challenging to get somewhere fast which is why I am considering taking my bike. I can do 22 miles a day walking, and at most 95 miles on my bike in a day. I...

    12'x16' tarp, tent stakes, a string, and a walking stick

    Collapsable walking stick

    Does anyone have any info/suggestions/experience in making a folding/collapsable walking stick/staff? I was thinking of maybe getting a nice wood stick and cutting it into 3 or 4 pieces and using metal threading to re-attach them for a more portable stick. Think it would hold up?
