I tend to support the cottage industries that I've used for decades, but new ones are popping up all the time. ULA and Tarptent have been my go tos...

Really? Another brainless wonder of society. I love(d) that shelter on my section hike.

I've been into UL hiking since 2002 and have never owned anything by Golite. I got my first UL pack from Gossamer Gear, my first UL tent from...

Instead of one major vendor like Golite, we now have dozens of small cottage industry companies that create constantly evolving designs. It's a...

MyTrail went out of business in December 2019.

Oone other thought, at start have shuttle pick you up at end of your section then bring you back to where you want to jump off and start hiking.

Try donald, further shuttle, 772-321-0905.

Well you are welcome to that thought. TYOT as they say. Hope you don't mind if I do likewise.

When the most feared pest changed from a mouse to a bear. I'm thinking canisters are a responsible PART of the futures, not unlike the...

I have 2 of the small (cell phone sized) batteries that do solar. IMO, the solar portion is too small to be effective. I had mine in full, direct,...

Excellent recommendation! My son is 23 so he can probably run the stairs. I love the idea of leaving packs at top and doing stairs. Much...

I guess it depends on exactly how far out of alinement the feet are. I remember wearing corrective shoes as a youngster to correct this problem in my...

Time it to arrive at the lodge in the early afternoon, drop your gear off at the lodge, drive back down to the visitor center and climb back up to...

Depending on how old your son is, you might take Slo's advice. The climb up to the Lodge is by far the most difficult he will experience on the...

I found a discussion the other day about adapting the Schnozzle bag to fit the old Thermarest valve. Something I need to try soon. It would be much...

Good call; I think the breath-moisture-mold-whatever thing is a bit, er, overblown. I've gotten 8+ years or so (maybe more) of service out of my...

I think if one needs 10,000 mAH, the Nitecore looks like the way to go (and I love my nitecore headlamp, best headlamp I've owned). But if one...

Hey all. To put a wrap on this thread. I discovered a plastic bag w/ attachment, designed to “capture & insert” air in my pad. I must have had it...

I think a trip to a good podiatrist would be a start.The doctor will likely recommend some sort of inserts or braces and therapy. It helped my...

Thanks for the info.

thanks for the reply. We are parking at the lodge, and want to start at the Arch vs walking down stairs. Don’t mind paying a shuttle to go from...

You could walk. It's 1.1 miles from the Arch to the Lodge. A very steep 1.1 miles, with 604 rock steps up along the falls. I've never bothered, I...
