Retirement thru-hike
It's tough to get lost. Get the FarOut app. https://faroutguides.com/. Source: 12 months ago
Food and water on NJ section of Trail
If you don't have any guide book that calls out water and re-supply opportunities, allow me to recommend the "AWOL Guide". I'd argue it's the best $20 you can spend if you're new to AT hiking. Also if you have a smartphone, you don't want to be without Guthook/FarOut. Source: 12 months ago
looking for planning resources
The good resource is Far Out Guides. Are you planning to self-shuttle or hire someone to drive you? It's best to meet your shuttle driver where you plan to finish and have them drive you to the start. That way you finish at your car. Source: over 1 year ago

Far Out app - Offline GPS phone app showing similar things as the AWOL guide, but also includes up to date comments from other hikers and using GPS will tell you mileage till the next water source, shelter, etc. Source: over 1 year ago
Show HN: I made an offline-ready hiking trail companion app
Looks very nice! Do you know https://faroutguides.com/ (formerly GutHook)? They have offline-friendly paid maps of a lot of the largest scenic trails in America. I hiked the Appalachian Trail last year and FarOut was standard kit. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Ross Coulthart on defense contractors using the 6 months of amnesty to hide UAP crafts, "What if some (of these UAP crafts) are so big, they had to build a building on top of it. Outside the United States.. Let's just have this investigated and see what happens.. I've heard it from multiple sources"
Also, the documents mention the craft lies between the Skaitevaara and Pahtavaara mountains. I couldn't find either of those on google maps so I did a little more googling and found this website that has detailed information on peaks around the world. So I punched in Skaitevaara and Pahtavaara. Skaitevaara seems to be misspelled and is actually Skaitevarra. It lies directly north of the main buildings at Esrange.... Source: 10 months ago

Ooh, found this website, Peak Visor, that has 3d maps and names of mountains to help identify things

I took this photo inbound to Afghanistan 2008. Can you guys pinpoint where these mountains are? I believe this was over Tajikistan
First I had to stabilize the photo to make it a little more easier to see the terrain. Then I used https://peakvisor.com/ to pinpoint the mountain peaks. After that, I checked the mountain peaks through Google Maps. Source: over 1 year ago
