I'd say about 3-4% of my thru was done at night. I always wanted to stay in a shelter, so I left early in the season to avoid the crowds. That just left the requirement of making it to the shelter I...
Now they tell me...
Aren't they also called assassin bugs? I'm almost positive I used to see them in Pennsylvania.

This is going to me 100% from personal experience, I could have been committing backpacking gear high treason for the last 4 years but someone will have to correct me.
With sleeping pads I've...
Another note: I've used this same setup on the side of Pikes Peak here in Colorado with no issues besides the condensation, however it only got down to 20 that night. This morning at the top of Pikes...
If someone with greater disdain for disorganization feels the need to move this to the Gear section feel free, I just figured more people would see it here :D.
Happy Day After Thanksgiving to...
A little early for Christmas shopping, isn't it?
That's a coincidence because they're watching the other team with video cameras :D
If I remember correctly, weather was also a pretty big factor there right? Wasn't she caught in a blizzard with 100mph winds or something? And she tried to keep going instead of coming back down?
Ha ok true enough. Just for kicks I was actually on the side of Pike's Peak in Colorado last night with my ~15lb set up, and I survived pretty comfortably. Posted up right near the treeline (so...

Feathered Friends is one of the better sleeping bag manufacturers, they make bags in many different shapes, one of them is called "Wide Mummy" .
In the military you'll occasionally be made to do a ruck march of a certain distance in a certain amount of time with a pack weighing a certain amount. I got tired of guesstimating my pack's weight...

Every now and then when I get some space at work I'll hop on this site to browse around for 5 minutes. Almost every time I'll get a coworker who hasn't seen me on here before and ask if this is a...
This is a really good video, I've seen it before.
I'll echo what others have said about not really relying on a bunch of faceless internet people, but I'll put in something anyway. I met 2 people during my thru who confided in me they were diagnosed...

Sorry but I thought this was funny. Rucking in the military and long distance backpacking are like driving a Prius and....I dunno, eating a cheeseburger. I know plenty of guys who can do their 12...
I had stuff stolen on the AT, it happens. Honestly in that situation I think I'd look at an Exxon as a viable option too. That much into a long hike an Exxon would look like an oasis to me, I'd think...
Whenever I give the advice I gave there's always someone who jumps down my throat and starts screaming that I can't possibly know about brain chemistry and neurotransmitters and "I'm on medication...
