It looks like Gentian will be closed for another week. Hopefully we will be able to open it up by Friday July, 22. Replacing all four sill logs, joists, and floor, just seems to take longer that...

I'd go with a BA Flycreek 1 if you have you heart set on a BA tent and want to save some more weight(which you do). Also it will last a thru and more. For my thru I used a SMD Lunar Solo and it...

Footloose here, nice to see these two machines are out at it again. I wish you the best of luck on your completion LT, and your second Dirty. Send me a summit pic when your done.

I am going to get a WM UltraLite Super to start off my 2008 thru and I want to pair it with a Sea to Summit dry sack. I just don't know what the right sack would be. First, should I get a...

I want to use a camel back bladder on my hike, but I am wondering easy they are to fill. I am just picturing this little pool of water somewhere along the hike and I need to get it into my bladder...

Thanks Yall, I knew I'd get a quick response.

There is a place along the AT, I've seen it in a bunch of picture, but never looked for a name. And just now I noticed that it is on the Homepage of this site; on the top, behind the words. Where...

Thanks for the huge list Tater. A lot of those sites I have found to be very useful, but there were some new ones to me and I checked them out and they were great. Thanks again.

How easy is it to get canister fuel along the AT? I am debating using an alcohol stove or my snowpeak gs-100a because it seems that everywhere sells denatured alcohol, but very few outfitters sell...

With the closing of Trailplace.com I would like to know what other sites, besides this one, that people have found truely helpful in planning a thruhike. Maybe extend that thought to the most...

I've changed...I'm heading north, with the masses. I'll be there early to mid March, see yall there.

I changed my direction, I'm starting south and heading north.

I am wondering where one might find room for a pack inside the contrail? Is it big enough for your pack to be right next to you, or do people recommend keeping it under the beak?

I dislike all "rain" coats. I have yet to find one that really works.

I do not find there is much about this subject but I am at lost on the subject of footwear. I have a pair of Chameleon Wrap Stretch Gore-Tex XCR shoes that I plan to wear during the middle of the...

My weight 145 lbs, so 1/4 my weight is 35 pounds. That seems too heavy to me. My gear is looking like it is going to be about 13 lbs, then with 4 lbs of water, and 10 lbs of food, that is about 27...

Where can I find a place to get others opinions about gear selection?
Thermarest RidgeRest or Z-Rest? Which is more comfortable?

What are some people's ideal's or suggestion's for pack weight for a strong, fit young man who would love to bounce around on the trail during a 2008 SOBO thru-hike?

I feel very confident in my gear selection and all that, but when it comes to the food part of this adventure I'm a little perplexed. Not so much with what to eat, I have a firm grasp on that...

I'll be there. Looking foward to meet all you going against the flow, whatever you reason may be. Be well and smile.
