Looks like we might need to take two cars. When I leave my car I always leave the doors unlocked. I have never had an issue. Is north of the smokies a bigger problem with break ins?
We plan on starting at Fontana Damn RD in mid July and hike north to Pigeon River Bridge.
So I was thinking of dropping my Car off at Pigeon River and getting a shuttle to Fontana Damn Rd. Is...
I absolutly loved all but the 5 miles closest to Table Rock State park. you can't go wrong with any other 30 mile section.
Well we got back thursday from our trip. Bug were essentially non existent. It did pour rain on us for 3 days of the trip but even the clear days we didn't see any bugs to speak of.
My AT&T phone has virtually no service at Table Rock Park.
We will be going from Oconee State Park on Feb 22nd. Will be at Table Rock state park by the 27th or 28th.
I will be on the Foothills at the end of February, I can update the status of them then.
A little late but I took a nice little Day hike with my new load out from Woody Gap to Neels Gap. Was a beautiful day to hike compared to the weather that has been going on in that area.
You won't be upset with your UGQ. I slept in my 20 degree bandit in a shelter that got just under 20 with the wind blowing hard and it was 100% humidity. The only thing I didn't like about it was...
My girlfriend got me a nice new Jacket. This thing is so warm compared to my Costco Version 41299
I may be in the minority but I was not impressed with Hawk Mtn Tent sites.
I am not sure if this is allowed or not but a group I am with are currently getting together donations for the homeless in my town. If you need the extra space in the closet to get rid of any gear...
After ordering a UGQoutdoors quilt, I couldn't go with anyone else. A true cottage manufacturer. And you can watch them make your quilt. The quality is second to none.
Things I learned hiking in the low 20's
Dry clothes were a life saver
You would be surprised how hard it is to get out of your UGQ Outdoors Top quilt in the morning.
Start off very cold, you...
Just an update,
Got back yesterday at lunch. I did hear shots on the trail 3 different times during my hike, wore orange the whole time.
The shots were a good ways off but still could see a...
I learned last time that I really don't mind hiking in the rain, setting up and tearing down camp in the rain is not fun but once I get hiking its not as bad. A bad day on the AT beats a good day...
I am thinking of leaving everything open and doors unlocked
Hows the parking at Unicoi Gap? Thinking of leaving my car there for 3 days.
It looks like rain for the trip. I am starting at Deep gap with rain and when I finish at Unicoi it should be raining. Hope to see you out there!
I am going on my first section hike during hunting season in 2 weeks. We are going from Unicoi Gap in GA to Deep Gap in NC. How do I know if hunting is allowed near the trail or if I need to have a...
Picked up a couple of these this weekend. Won't be using them for a few months on trail but got them. Looking at mods for them today to increase warmth.
This post says it all, I hope word spreads about these guys and they spend their last dollar trying to keep the store open and then end up broke and jobless. There is no reason to be that ignorant...
Anyone here with experience with the UGQ quilts?
I just looked at them and I like their options the best. And thinking about pulling the trigger for my winter quilt.
Apple watch, purchased just for my hike.
