USPS just dropped off brand new 900ml and 2000ml Evernew bags at my door. I bought them from Antigravitygear. I purchased a new Sawyer Mini from Walmart about 1.5 months ago. Threads right up no...
I've burned through about 20 pairs of Altra shoes on and off trail. For backpacking well established trails, they do well. But keep an open mind, the giant toe box is great for backpacking comfort on...
I spend a lot of time here in the whites on steep, slippery, slabs. La Sportiva Bushido's have been good. I do better on slabs or any technical terrain for that matter without trekking poles. Bend...
Dispersed camping is my favorite means of protecting bears and my food.
I check whiteblaze about once every six months. I, personally, don't find much educational value in the posts anymore. It's all fireside chat, which is okay. But for current trip repots, gear advice,...
*This is a stripped down version of guide I put together for MSG. I have a greater in depth version on my personal website with trip reports, photographs, gear lists, etc that may be available in to...
I think this is the last NH winter I can tolerate. I'm hitching southwest for fish tacos.

The 48 are practically overrun on the weekends. My preferred way to hike them is to backpack them on lesser used trails midweek if possible.
One of my favorite hikes was up Passaconaway over to...

The Yellow Deli has some of the best food on the entirety of the AT...
The Hostel run by the Yellow Deli is probably the nicest donation based hostel on the entirety of the trail...

I have had nothing but positive experiences at Woodchucks. In fact, I've stayed there four nights. Good times.
I have been in too many hostels where this commentary has been exchanged.
There's a hostel in Gorham, NH that is one more electrical cord from burning down.

Fortunately, there are other great options in Damascus as well.
The farther north on the trail, the "standards" of hostels increase in my experience.
I can't really think of anything negative...
There are a few places that have reputations for shady characters and questionable actions present.
These hostels usually allow alcohol and turn their heads to substance use.

Oops. If you looked at my lighterpack right now its been tweaked with some sul gear. My pad for instance and im missing some electronics and stuff.
The original list is more complete and...
Yeah I was there early October. Probably closed for the season. 5 days thru the 100 mile is pushing pretty hard. Not many do that. Kind of a crappy way to finish the AT in my experience. I know a lot...
Just so everyone is aware.
Nobo thru hikers are literally starving by the time they get to Abol Bridge.
On my weekend trip to Katahdin this year I took a stroll down the golden road to Abol...
they definitely had some crazy days lol. Apple pie ended up in the hospital lol. But she went right back out
Man.. i just purchased my first head net. An MLD head net. Never had bug pro before. I'm scared of going outdoors now.
I wonder if I could make my s2s nano net something like a full body suit...
I used the further on my 2018 nobo thru and can highly recommend them. I got a private ride from North Springs to Amicalola, gas canister included. Price was really fair. Professional. Good...
