I used the Zpacks Arc Blast on a thru hike this year. It was okay but I was improperly fitted. On Friday I will be receving what I consider a next-gen backpack, only one other hiker had it on the...

Gently used Arc'Teryx Altra 65L Red

only reason I am selling this is because I have gone super ultralight and I need to get rid of all my other packs. This pack is gently used, and one of the...

You do not need 50 feet of paracord to hang your bear bag. In fact there are much lighter alternatives such as lash-it. 25 feet of rope is optimal.

Having to juggle four objects touching the ground is tougher than two. For example, say you are in the process of rolling your left ankle... Obviously, you would not want to push off on that ankle...

Just completed the AT two days ago. Kept injuring my knees at the beginning because of the reliance on trekking poles. Once I grew balls and ordered the ZPacks Carbon Fiber tent poles to set up my...

They are thieves. They stole my bandanna right from the front of the Damascus library, and I asked each of them if they had seen it, and they each replied, "No". When I went inside I asked the...

What time does the HH shuttle to Springer in the mornings?

Too bad you aren't in Florida.... G4 flies direct from Tampa to Bangor for only $100 with your backpack.:banana

I'm thinking this is on topic, but don't flame me if it's off the reservation. Striving for UL & have the Solplex tent paired with the Arc Blast pack. Plenty of room inside the pack to place the...

20* should be all you need. I did that section the first week of march last year and I used 20* Enlightened Equipment Enigma & Revolt, and was toasty.;) By the end of March you might get away with...

That shelter is built on top of an ancient native american burial ground. Stay away, far away.

Tom at the NOC is really good. He's been at it for over 20 years, and he is kinda like Jerry Garcia. Helped me out when me feet grew too big for my boots and put me through all the paces and...

Last year I started with boots and swapped out to trail runners at the NOC. They were perfectly fine. The way to prevent blisters is to use Injinji toe liners underneath your smart wool or darn...

God Bless You Ktaadn!!

I had the normal ExOfficio briefs with a 6 inch inseam last year for the first 300 miles. I had major chafing issues with the skin right below them and constantly had to...

It's the tag the ATC sends out when you register your start date. I just called them and apparently there are no discounts or perks to having one. They told me it should be placed on your pack to...

Best sound quality hands down would be a high res FLAC/Vinyl player like the Fiio X5 pictured above. It is a luxury item weighing in at 5.8 oz, but can be charged with micro USB, which most...
