Gentlemen,

That sounds good! As a caveat, I was 5' 8" and 263 pounds of solid fat when I hiked through the early potion of the AT in '17 and hadn't hiked since '08. I'm 30 pounds lighter now and plan to be in...
How are the trail conditions in late August to Labor Day (temps/precipitation/mud/insects/crowds)?
Wow! I'm surprised at how difficult it is up there, sounds like the difficulty of the Whites.
Slo-go'en,
I'll have to look into those camping regulations, I wasn't aware of them. I'm a stealth camper.
I have two scenarios (we have a point system at work which allows me to extend my...
Thanks, that's a great resource!
lol. I know it's a lot. I've done it twice. I'm trying to squeeze in a Long Trail thru-hike with the 10 days of vacation time I have and I'm wondering about that section. The gain between Springer...
see title. thank you. can you provide how you obtained this info?
I thru-hiked the AT in '08 using the MSR Hubba and found it to be the perfect tent for me. In 2017, I hiked from Springer to mile 289.7 using the NX Solo and I found it inferior to the Hubba. Not...
It's a long time to be apart from my girlfriend. I'd like to do something special. Maybe also carry something along the entire trail. Any neat ideas out there?
Any idea based on my list?
Any suggestions on what liter sized pack I should get?
What about some kind of liner for the cold nights and the Smokies or should I bite the bullet and get a nice 20 WM mummy bag or something? That would be a lot of coin for just a few nights.

Hi,
I thru-hiked in 2008 and will be heading out again this year. A lot has changed in 9 years except I'll be starting at almost the exact same height and weight (5' 8", 265lbs).
Anyways, I'm...
Thanks for the replies. It eases my mind somewhat.
I will be using an MSR HUBBA NX tent and a Thermarest Neo Air XLite sleeping pad. Generally speaking, will this be sufficient? I'm considering dropping some serious coin on a WM 20 degree bag but I...
Oooooo! Fancy new gadgets and gimmicks to keep the masses...
The Earth will harbor more than 12 billion people by that time so they'll have to double the width of the trail.
It always amazes me the percentage of people who never look up.
I did. Good book.
Thanks for your suggestions, everyone. I'm going to take Emerald's advice and read the book by Roderick Nash first.
What are your must-read biographies with a modern, environmental slant?
This is easily the most interesting thing I've read on these boards for awhile. Far more interesting than this "study".
If you aren't angry with the current state of our society and the world in...
Trail Name: Danger Danjo '08 (maybe a new name this year)
Direction: NOBO
Estimated Start Date: March 1'ish
Approach Trail: Why?
Thanks for the link. None of those shoes come in 2E which is my width.
I started wearing the 1201's late in my AT hike when I had lost a significant amount of weight and was strong. I'll be...
