See, My family and I want to go to france, but we’re on a very tight budget. I know I’ve seen books for people like me, books with information on hostels and cheaper alternatives, etc. If you know of any that you’ve had good experiences with or your friend has or whatever that would be fantastic! Thank you!! I would advise the “lonely planet” collection. A really complete collection, with all the informations you need to backpack. I’ve used them to travel to india and mexico, and it was really useful!!! I know a lot of people who use them for travelling, and everyone was always very glad with those. Check their website : http://www.lonelyplanet.com/ Hope it helps, and wish you’ll have a nice trip in France!

My brother and I are planning on Hiking the smokies coming up in the near future. We would like to start on the far east side (Near Big Creak) and ending on the far west side (Near Fontana Dam) We would like to drop our car off at the beginning and take a bus back to the car. Is that possible? Anyone have any tips about hiking the smokies? I am hiking the AT for the first time in a week. I found this site immensly useful as an overview. More importantly it has a list of AT shuttle services. Also you may want to check out www.whiteblaze.net instead of yahoo answers. There are forums here more suited to your specific interests. Good luck and have a great hike!

My husband and I are just wanting to explore Europe but would like to stay with a host family. We are really interested in Amsterdam and we are not students. Most of the stuff we found was for students only. We also looked into just backpacking but thought it would be a better expierence if we lived with a family. Try www.couchsurfing.com . There are families on there that welcome people to spend some time in their home and see what a real taste of life in that country is like. There are families all over Europe that open up their homes and couches. It’s a great program and even if you decide not to stay at a person’s home, it is a great way to network and meet up with a local for coffee or lunch and a quick tour of the area.

My favorite in our area is Turkey Run State Park in Marshall, Indiana. The trails are fabulous–lots of deep ravines and old trees, etc. There are several good ones within driving distance. What good state parks has anyone been to, and what are the best features? I really don’t pay much attention to State Parks, but maybe it’s because there are so many National Parks and Wilderness Areas within driving distance that I am so much more interested in. I tend to think of state parks as overbuilt, over regulated, and too close to civilization, and the lower elevations just don’t provide the adventure I crave, the cold air, the fishing, and wildlife.

Pick something else besides the will to survive. After the will to survive I think fire making is the most imortant, why? well: Fire can keep you warm Fire can be used to purify water and cook food Fire can boost morale Fire can be used to signal rescuers Fire can be used to scare away dangerous animals Sorry about the grammar error. Shelter. You can have fire all you want, but exposure can kill you quickly, and fire cannot withstand heavy rain, snow, or wind.
