Hiking popularity in North America vs. Europe So, when are you coming over? We should go for a walk. |

Hiking popularity in North America vs. Europe Good answer from @LBell. IMHO, the worst place to camp is at a campground. Leave-No-Trace is way better - no people, the ground isn't packed into concrete. |

Interactive online map of long-distance / marked trails against best freely available topographic map background Good question. I don't know of a single source for all trails. There are a handful of long trails - Appalachian, Pacific Crest, the Continental Divide Trails. There's another that runs east-west up near the border with Canada, can't remember the name. There are medium-length trails (say, under 1000 miles). There are countless short trails. There are trails for all purposes. Biking, foot-only, equestrian, combined. There are countless unnamed trails of various lengths. There's the unofficial extended Appalachian Trail. City trails, forest trails, etc. |

Long distance hiking trail markings in North America or parts thereof @sdg, I thought (guessed) that it was the other way around. Perhaps there's an answer on english.stackexchange.com/?as=1 (wrt 'to blaze a trail') |

Long distance hiking trail markings in North America or parts thereof Hmm, Rockies and Alaska I couldn't say. In the state parks around where I live, I don't think I've seen blazes. On long trails they're the norm. The OT goes out into some pretty secluded areas, and it's marked along the whole trail. The AT is also marked along the whole trail, AFAIK. |

Is cougar hunting legal? Here in Missouri, my friends are seeing them more and more. And they're pretty secretive, so most of the time that they're around you wouldn't know it. @Tomas, get off your high horse. The conservation departments are doing their best to increase populations, much to the dismay of those whose person and property are at risk. |

Practicality of Beards Maybe it depends on the thickness of the beard. Mine definitely traps heat. |

What is the fastest style of sled? Who cares if it's a real sport? it's fun! I'm like an adult in certain ways, and it's still fun. :) But - it depends what you're sledding on. The fastest sled on snow might not be the fastest sled for ice. |

Buying a Backpacking Knife Good question. The first backpacking knife I bought was lightweight, but too small. I've started using a larger one. Also, all knives will need to be sharpened sooner or later. Abusing a knife will cause it to need sharpening sooner, but even a properly-used knife will need sharpening from time to time. |
