That sounds great. I will definitely look into it. Thanks

How big is the parking lot? I am looking to park there next Memorial Day morning and shuttle down to Springer mountain and hike back. Is it a small parking lot? Will there be enough room on a...

Well, it looks like I will be hiking up and over blood mountain in the rain. Does anyone have any experience in this?

thanks for your input. My biggest goal was to see the view on top of Blood Mountain. Unfortunately, it look like rain this coming Sunday. Bummer

So, now that I have a bear canister, if I chose to use it instead of going thru the hassle of hanging my backpack, that would suffice???

I actually purchased a paperback book. It is called, Lost on the Appalachian Trail. LOL. It is a novel about a man and his dog walking the entire Appalachian Trail. I thought that would give me...

If I camp on top of sassafras, is it practical to hang my backpack from a tree in case of bears?

Thank you my friend. I wanted to camp on top of blood mountain so I could see the stars at night in the sunrise in the morning. Weather permitting of course

so, there are tent sites on top of Sassafras?

yes I do have a shuttle scheduled.

I believe Devils kitchen is the Justice creek campsites. Guthook shows 8 tent sites about 1.5 milies before reaching Gooch Mountain Shelter

Can someone give me their opinion on what they feel is the best light weight bear canister?

I use a Z pack's Cuban fiber backpack. I wear Solomon trail runner shoes. Everything in my backpack is what I would need to hike the trail. That is where my 25 pounds comes from. I walked 3 to 5...

I have wondered if I am wearing my pack right. is it to low? to high?

my pack is a Z Pack. Ultra lite everything and weighs 25 lbs. I walk 3-5 miles a day on construction sites as a Superintendent. I know the asphalt is not a good idea but have no other place to hike....

So, I am training to hike 32-40 miles later this year. I strap on my backpack every Saturday and Sunday morning and hike 6 miles up and down these small hilly roads near my house (asphalt is a drag)....

ok. I feel your pain. I hiked a few days this past labor day. I spent 4 months searching on line for all the right equipment for a thru-hike. I purchased pretty much the best of everything. I thought...
