Franklin is a fantastic area to explore while you are down this way but just cut yourself a few days to hang around rather than carry extra with you. Plenty of hounds have extra equipment to dig with...
Incoming message from Tennessee.........it's down to 40 degrees and we're dying!
I'd have to agree that they were ok on their end because they asked if they could look around. Kind of like a gear shakedown. If they didn't improve your knowledge, hike on without being OR feeling...
Chattanooga needs to be your western boundry! I am looking to relocate to parts north and east of here. I may stay as close as Cleveland TN but I sure love the real Trail corridor soo.... ...
It's amazing that we have an endless supply of "why do I have to follow the rules?" threads.
I use a Deep Jungle with top and bottom quilt. Both of these are from Arrowhead Equipment. A bag just didn't cut it. Cold butt is rough. I think the "Super Shelter" would be great but overkill for a...
Expect everything between 15 and 70! Be ready to layer up at night and peel it off all day. Anything between snow and sunburn is in play.
I'll say it again and just shake my head. We've had losses in the Park from exposure. How does it make sense to hike, this time of year without a shelter? But I suppose trolls will troll. I'm...
Allen Nelson, wife Margaret.
I'm a fan of Hennessey Hammocks but it may just be a case of " first love "! They were at Trail Days in '14 I think and I got pulled in to just trying a Deep Jungle. I looked at the wife after 20...
Sad to report that yesterday we lost Roo, who was one of my favorite folks from the 2011 class. He was blindsided by a medical diagnosis just weeks ago and was still out fighting brushfires just a...
How many losses do we have to take before people stop wanting to leave gear at home? Take it with you. If you expect reservations to reflect actual situation, be prepared for a shock.
All this does is make me want to stay there and enjoy the decor. It has nothing to do with selling out...
Good job sir!
Amazing thread highlighting the part of the community that thinks the AT must go to Katadin. Keep this attitude and the terminus will move. BSP goes above and beyond and ^^^ this is the attitude of...
Crazy that she was in such a heavily criss-crossed area as the Dome. Very sad end. There are a dozen assumptions I feel like we could make but in the end they are just guesses.
Hey Ron! Any room at the inn for me and a 4 legged hiking partner?
He still moves like a machine, so if he decides............. Ahooooooga!
This thread is 5 years old. The AWOL guide is very clear and easy to use. The info about the geography around the shelters presented here is all true but you will find tent sites usually located very...

Tennessee has quietly acknowledged a population of cougar in the State and as you'd expect, they seem to be more prevalent in the western part of the state but they have been confirmed surprisingly...
I'm with ya! I'm out of the knot business! Just a simple pair of D rings where I can pull a line tight and forget it is worth the grams. It's about ease at the end of the day and speed in foul...
I converted to Hammocks when Hennessy hooked me at Trail Days (14 I think). When all the sales pitch they need is " Get in and try it " you know they are doing something right. I have the Deep Jungle...
Well, I appreciate the thoughtful responses.
It's hard to argue with the math behind having to beat the completion odds twice to make a thru happen. The doom and gloom porcupine, cut pad stories...
