Awesome Link and correct info again! Thanks Tipi.
I believe that Thru Hiking or Section Hiking doesn’t matter. You are correct to use milage. However, even then, I believe Sunlight and heat are the major cause of deterioration. The backpack straps...
I have always used a waist pack even before the wonderful options there are now. I currently use a Lite AF pack because it rides nicely between the hip belt pockets of my ULA. I do keep valuables...
Add a capful or so of white vinegar to the water soak to break up mineral deposits will also helps get the flow moving again.
True statement, however there are two Hostels that both offer a great stay as well as viable camp spots for those that do not wish to go off trail. I didn’t stay at Stan Murray and wouldn’t have...
It does sound familiar, and I did fall backwards climbing a rock ledge right after the Lemon Squeezer. The ledge is no longer there, simply a smaller rock pile, half the height that it was. I fell...
PS. Never used on a Thru Hike. No Rips, Tears or Abrasions.
Price reduced to $60 (not including Shipping).
In the “good ol’ days”, many hikers celebrated trails they H(L)iked with patches sewn onto a pack, or medallions on a hiking stick. I just thought of these tags as being along the same line. ...
Selling a barely used Packa Rain Poncho Large / Green in Color. No Rips, Holes or Tears. Self Stored in its pocket and carried in back mesh of ULA Ohm. Hung in Smoke free Closet when not on a...
Thanks for this update! I was at Abol Bridge the morning he started, and chatted with his support man Iceman who was waiting on him to run by at around 8 am. Also met another older AT Hiker and...
There is a Walmart in town that probably Carries fuel. However, the best bet is the next town North on the Trail - Manchester, Vt. There is an Outfitter in the middle of the town called The...
Enjoy the Journey! I started 3/15/2018. Great Date and had time to slow down and enjoy he finish September 1st!
I couldn’t imagine the difficulty of that! Thank you for being a corridor monitor! When I was there the last time, there was a camp of maintainers and crew in a low valley close to a. Water source....
Interesting. Having Thru Hiked and returned to portions of the AT, I would agree with the toughness of those listed climbs! The only one I didn’t see that I thought was difficult (but not as bad...
Like Slo Go en stated, Overnight Town Hostels are all set up for Charging electronics. I usually made sure Headlamp was fully Charged on way into town. Once at Hostel, Double Plug was used to...
I suggest heading to an REI or Outfitter that has a number of Brands to try. I started in Merril Moab’s, went to Altra Lone Peaks and loved them but hated the lack of durability and cushioning. In...
Here is my review of the Packa, a few years back.

I carry it on all trips now and highly recommend it.
I went the other end of a ULA pack line and chose the ULA Ohm 2.0 for my AT Thru Hike and other trips. It is made towards the Ultra Lite side of thing s and Carrie’s up to 25/30 lbs of gear. ...
Looks more like a chigger nest location than fleas at the base of a cedar tree. But if animals are around, fleas can occur as well.
I tarped one time in a yard at a hostel (a Hammocker), and when I turned on the headlamp before bed, little white nat like bugs where jumping all around in the grass. The rain that night decreased...
That’s awesome! Right off the trail, great egg sandwiches and a very peaceful way to spend a Nero or zero In Rangeley! Steve is a great guy so glad to hear he is still open by his choice!
Shoes are as unique as the feet that go into them. It is frustrating to find a shoe that meets your needs, only to be discontinued. However, new models allow for updated materials and advancements...
Agree, favorite piece of Gear since my 18 Thru Hike and wear it almost daily except in heat over 85*.
For me, it wasn’t worth the weight or hassle on the rare occasions that wind was strong enough to affect the flame of the stove. Usually, I could find rocks, dirt mounds or just use my Z Seat to...
Garlic is correct. Quilts really do save weight but are safer in the mountains and close in weight to the bag liners. Check out a 40* Hammock Gear Econ Burrow. Good quality for the price and...
