    This early April. I started at Gabe Zimmerman nobo. It was too hot for me and the water caches were running low. I would look into going north from Phoenix.

    I have both the Ohm and the Circuit. I think you will be happy with the Ohm. Note, you will rarely carry baseweight. If you frequently carry 20+ miles of water or 5+ days of food, redo your...

    The map is not clear when the North Country Trail incorporates the Finger Lakes, Buckeye and Superior Trails. It completely omits the Natchez Trace NST and what about the Potomac Heritage NST. The...

    I was not recommending a sobo start to a flip. Just saying that you can reduce the Sierra snow by hiking the northern Sierra before the high Sierra.
    We both agree that the snow traverses between...

    The weather window is from Kennedy Meadows/Cottonwood Pass to Canada. Flipping does not help (or hurt) much and you are giving up a week in the middle. It depends on the year, but usually the...

    So many ways of not answering the question, but I think the best non-answer is to ask what percentage of on-trail expenses should be allocated to reducing weight?
    So, if you are very tight on...

    Well if we are not going to answer the question, I would say you have set a relatively reasonable low bar. My iPhone 6 has a compass and works great with Gaia, Guthook ... So, an old iPhone 6s or...

    Agree Mapman. Water crossings, bugs, and what ever causes 75% of north bounders to drop out (not necessarily in that order) are much more of a concern than rocky trail. The slightly smaller...

    The PCT is 21 % longer than the Appalachian Trail but the Fastest times are only 15 % longer. So, yes the PCT is faster per mile but not faster to hike, all else being the same.

    In fact, if you are in the 100 day ballpark, a May 17 start may...

    Looks like last post was near the Potomac River (mile 1023.7 from Springer) at about 28.5DQ days. SB's time is 45.5DQ days. So that gives 17 days to Springer to tie.

    We will all die one day. To paraphrase Doyle, we will see many fkt''s on the CDT etc. before a serious attempt on the AT (our only hope is a supported attempt on the AT by SB).
