I enjoy my coffee, especially when I'm in the woods. I love the morning, and being able rock in my hammock with a cup of Joe (Shug-Style) before I get moving is big for me. But, if I can save time...

TOOTHPASTE IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
(sorry, hit submit too soon)

+1 on isopropyl. It's got more uses than most think!

Neither I nor poolskater mentioned UL though.....just that we both decided on a new fleece layer.

I just bought one from Praha here on Whiteblaze, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. It fit exactly into my layering system, I was missing a layer between my thin base and my puffy. Haven't had a...

I'm sorta in the same boat with you. I'm beginning March 1st, hiking north. I work at a winery and harvest begins around late July-early August for most, so that's my "deadline." They wouldn't be...

I'll be trailing you by about a week or two, hope to see you out there. Stay toasty out there!

I really need to second the quilt idea. I know you're excited about that sleeping bag, but I just started hammock camping about a year ago. I skipped buying a decent bag and bought an Enlightened...

I'll take the black one.....working with my PayPal now...

Seeing as the most popular start date is March 15th, starting March 1st is only an extra 2 weeks on the trail. I am aware of the cold, wouldn't be starting on the first if I wasn't properly prepared....

I'm interested in some pics! Great prices

Hello 17ers, the wait is almost over!
I don't have a trail name yet.
NOBO from Springer Mt. on March 1st.
Will be graduating college here in December and cannot wait to start such a journey, and...

Sure thing, I'm waiting to purchase a few clothing items, a new sawyer squeeze, and a scale to get exact weights. Once I do, I'll be sure to link it here for you guys. Base weight is sitting at about...

I'll add my +1 to this pack, it carries swell and has a bunch of "outer carry" options for a lightweight pack. Of course, plenty of inner space, as well. Great deal!

Thanks for that, Guyler, I'd never heard of that site and I just had a lot of fun with it! Got a great idea of where my weight is, within my gear.

MORE INFO, MORE INFO *the crowd chants*

I'm still in school, so I rock the weekend warrior mentality. I've been taking weekend hikes between 25-30 miles for 1 or 2 night trips. Hilly hikes, but this is Kentucky, where we lack mountains....

Also no trail name, yet
NOBO
Planning on a March 1st start
Leaning towards no approach trail

I'll second what Cheyou said, swap that 2lb. bag for a down quilt and you'll be surprised out how much room you have in the pack. I can only recommend from experience, but the Enlightened Equipment...

I plan to begin on March 1st, like many. I'm a hammocker, so I don't think I'll have as much of a problem with the number of other people on the Trail. That being said, I'm staying in good shape...

Fireplug, I'm starting March 1st and I haven't tossed out the idea of hitching back to Damascus. Just an idea, don't let time be a constraint!

Bobbyp, if all goes as planned (you know, like it always does) we will be starting the same day! Can't wait to get out there!
