Yes i see what you mean. It's my lack of experience with bear country that makes me worry about bears/rhodents. I know my bear bag hanging skills will not be sufficient, yet I feel nervous about...

Perfect. Will check out that link now and peruse this info. I need to research bags that will be delivered in UK as it cost so much to get my zpacks gear delivered due to tax and customs charges....

I have never been to the AT or indeed been in bear country so I thought I would hang it. What's your thoughts on this? Any advice welcome. Much appreciated, Sara

That's great. I'll get that ordered this evening online. Have had a look at PCT method online so once I get my kit I can have a go at it before I arrive. Sara :-)

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to order a dry sack today. Can you recommend what size and what type/length of cord I should order? Much appreciated, Sara.

Thanks for your reply :-)

Thank you so much for this !!! I've been researching and buying gear for months and this was my main concern. I like the water bottle idea. Means I can just buy the nylon stuff sack and cord and...

Thanks so much for your reply. Have received some great advice and think I have nearly everything now. Contacted my shuttle driver too who was very helpful. Many thanks. Sara :-)

Thanks so much for your reply and advice. Much appreciated, Sara :-)

Thanks so much for your reply. Emailed Ron and he replied straight away. He's even bringing fuel for me. Much appreciated!! Sara :-)

Thanks so much for your reply. Advice taken on board. Will definitely start at Amicalola! Sara :-)

Brilliant advice. Thanks so much for your reply. Will go to Amicalola. Good to talk to other thru hikers as most people over here haven't even heard of the AT so i've had to do a lot of research...

Amicalola it is then! Thanks so much for your advice. I really appreciate it as it's my first time doing the AT and there is only so much a guide book or Youtube can tell you. It's so useful talking...

Thank you so much for your reply. I will get the lodge booked once I get my flights organised. Much appreciated. Sara. :-)

Thank you so much for your advice. I think I will go to Amicolola then. Good news I don't have to stop at an outfitters. Contacted shuttle and they will provide the fuel.

Hi all. I'm thru hiking NOBO March 2019. I'm travelling from Ireland to Atlanta and want to hire a shuttle. I need to stop at outfitters as there are certain things I cant buy here or take on plane....
