Sorry folks, the tent is sold.
I bought this tent "gently used" from zpacks last year. I've set it up once and it looked brand new to me, since then it's been in the stuff sack in my pack. I'm switching to hammock so this thing...
Funny, my gaiters didn't arrive yet either, should be here tomorrow. They were supposed to be delivered two weeks ago.
Camp shoes and gaiters.
It's asking if you're going to hike the approach trail, not applicable for sobo.
Well, I'm pretty much out. I'm definitely not making my planned departure date and the way things look I'll be lucky to get a week at a time for some small sections in '18. I'm still collecting...
I ordered a Torrid Apex jacket the morning of the 17th and tracking shows it in my local post office about 1.5 hr ago so it may be delivered tomorrow. I was expecting it sometime in mid December but...
No trail name yet, I'm old school and will need to earn one, probably by doing something stupid. Shouldn't take long. :D

Yes on the approach trail.

I've been hiking the same little section over and over all summer. It's 9.2 miles out and back, just long enough to knock it out before it gets too hot.
ETA: There's been a tremendous increase in...
Nope. Never used a physical therapist. I'm planning to ask my doctor about it at my next regular appointment.
I appreciate that you're trying to help but I'm good on the pain.
Yep, I know Aleve is an NSAID. I didn't say it well but I meant that Aleve worked better than the prescription NSAID I got from my doctor. And I don't really want to add another prescription med to...
Yep, osteoarthritis of the joint at the base of the thumb and little finger of each hand. The thing is that I like, correction, LOVE using the straps on my trekking poles. It's the greatest thing...
Yep, that's where I'm at. I love the shape but the straps suck. I had the idea to make a padded sleeve to go over the straps a couple of nights ago but too much work to do that right now. I've got...
I'm already constantly switching up position on the poles since I'm usually the first one out on my favorite trail so I take down a large percentage of the spiderwebs crossing the trail with the...
Nope, not going to work with the tent. Looks like a good solution otherwise.
I almost never use them without the straps simply because the arthritis has reduced my hand strength. I can't imagine having to hold them for hours at a time, as it is now I'm mostly just using my...
The problem is in the strap interacting with my arthritis and my hands going numb. Padding on the strap helps so I'm looking for trekking poles that have padded straps but also have the more...
So this is what my grip looks like except I'm not gripping that tightly (image from Above and Beyond How to on trekking poles.). If needed I'll photograph my hand later today but this is what it...
I'm doing it exactly as shown in this video. Except for the driving forward part on flat ground, I end up going too fast that way and I'm out there to enjoy the hike, not speed through it.

Different handles, different straps, different pins.
I haven't been able to budge the pin holding the straps in to the B/D poles. I might be able to buy replacement straps but I suspect it would be the same issue that Leki warned me about with their...
Hello folks. I need some suggestions for trekking poles. I've got arthritis in my hands and I've found the straps make my hands go numb. I've bought two pair so far, Black Diamond Trail Shock Pro...
Sucker. All of that is just disinformation to keep you from suspecting our reptilian overlords.
