With an asking price of almost $1M, either they are in entirely over their heads or they must not want to sell very badly. Either way, good luck justifying the asking price given the limited stated...

Any update on this, is the property still on the market? If so, what asking price was determined?

F-Stop, believe it or not, most of us here do have good intentions, even if it comes out some times as poking fun. To avoid generalizing, I will speak for myself, I found it surprising where you are...

So let me get this straight. You're cutting your toothbrush in half (I'm guessing in an effort to save weight) but intending to carry a comb/mirror, shampoo, soap and conditioner? Doesn't make...

Hey Jason,

The big sale time-frames for Camping gear are generally found around Memorial Day and Labor Day. If you're looking for the latest and greatest, new product is often released between...

I think a lot of it depends on how much time you spend in town and the quantity of alcohol you intend to consume along the way. My better half and I hiked south in 2009, neither of us are big...

You might want to check your mileage calculation, to hike from Katahdin to the northern boarder of NY is well over 800 miles.

I think DBT Fan meant to say that the sleeping pad is intended to fit inside the sleeping bag.

You could probably bivy on/near Webster cliffs, though I couldn't tell you if it's legal or not. Not sure I'd want to do the last stretch leading up there after dark...

Backcountry.com, they're within 75 miles of anywhere!

Oh good god, here we go. You are going to get answers to this question from every end of the spectrum imagineable. Put your helmet on and take it all with a grain of salt. Most of us really love...

You're right Woodsy, we should just let the whole area get developed and sold off as 1/4 acre vacation homes and country clubs over the next 20 years. The wealthiest of us can buy up this property,...

I don't think you can begin to put Acadia and the North Woods of Maine in the same category of National Park. To my knowledge there is no trail in Acadia longer than just a few miles at the most and...

^^^^^ Agreed ^^^^^^ The Go Lite pack is intended for a very different level of volume and weight. For most of us it's not possible to downsize on the weight & size of a pack without making some...

I suggest replacing it with no lid at all. At the very least give it a shot before buying another. You might be surprised how well it works!

I wouldn't plan on finding too much trail magic heading southbound or any food in the shelters that isn't mice ridden and/or rotten. Trail magic is for northbounders... :D

Hey there JDKell, hope your planning and prep is going well. We hiked south in 2009 and began on July 23. Except for a day or two of heavy rain in the 100 mile wilderness the weather in New England...

While hanging food north of Virginia is certainly less commonly, to make a general statement that no one does is inaccurate and a little bit misleading. Hanging food is as much for the safety of the...

EXACTLY what Stranger said. Very well put!

Product life cycles and expectancies do (and should) vary greatly depending on whether it's a tent or a shoe. By all means, if you purchase something and it doesn't hold up to normal wear and tear,...

You sir, with that seemingly arrogant attitude have just lost any future business from this hiker. There's no reason to yell about how great you think you are. It would go a lot further in my eyes...

I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses on this but I think you've answered your own question. My perspective is that if you are going to strap anything to the outside of your pack you should not...

I should have added that we had a fantastic experience with the local outfitter in town, I believe it was called the Mountain Goat? They not only allowed us to leave our packs in their back room,...
