My group did the aquablaze this year. You can buy a boat from Downriver Canoe in Front Royal for $300 if you're a thru hiker, and they'll buy it back from you in Harper's Ferry for $150. You could...

I used a GG Vapor Trail for the past year and hated it. I would have got another pack, but I couldn't justify buying a new one while the GG was holding together. Luckily, last week the seams busted...

Thanks Bags! Got it on order!

I got a Dueter 50 Futura Zero I borrowed from my hiking buddy. I was using a Granite Gear Vapor Trail until it decided to fall apart on my thru of the Foothills last week. I'm doing the approach...

Hiken2011, I guess you got the Lightheart? How fast is the shipping, and are they already seam sealed?

I did carry it outside, but I'll have to carry the new one on the inside.

I am looking for the lightest, most compact tent possible. I was using a Eureka Backcountry. It was exactly what I wanted in the way of comfort and size, but I switched packs and don't have room for...

I was talking about the poly-pros

Yeah. They're pretty good at wicking sweat. I know people use those hiking pants that zip off, but I'm cheap. I hike in basketball shorts. I mean, wind and when your stopped are really the only a...

Hey thelightinside, I'm also starting mid-March NOBO. I'm going to use military poly-pro bottoms over shorts. They're super cheap and durable. Using a alpine pak 20 degree bag and a home made fleece...

I'm just going to be really cheap these couple of months before starting my thru-hike and put an extra $1000 dollars on top of that $2500. I think it will be a lot more comfortable with $3500. I like...

Thanks for the advice, and putting some of my worries to rest. I didn't think about needing more food up north. I guess I should shoot to have at least $1500 in the bank still by Harpers Ferry? And...

I'm leaving on March 14th for NOBO thru-hike. Assuming I have all my gear, and don't do any mail-drops, is $2500 reasonable? I've been planning this for over a year, just need some vendication.
