F G..... I was surprised to hear you bragging on any pack besides your McHale. You converted me.

Before the advent of Micro Spikes I used every model of Yaks made. It was a constant chore to keep them repaired and they tended to pull to the front of the boot on sharp inclines or step ups. Since...
Damn Fishmonger! We weren't aware that we had the God assigned authority on "bear canisters" here on WB or I'm sure nobody else would have posted in this thread. The ultralight mania isn't current....
Sly I agree that Glacier is spectacular but it's hard to get away from people (permits) there. The San Juans are just raw wilderness, a boundless playground. When I die with a pack on my back, I...
I just questioned the IGBC about this and here is a copy of their reply. If you read between the lines, I'd say the Ursack is getting some serious consideration. It's about time. My Bear Vault weighs...
Check out "John Muir Trail, Day & Section Hikes" by Kathleen Dodge. It has all the info you seek and is very accurate.

I'd be interested to see a survey of hikers that completed a thru to see how many developed a "oneness with nature". Most that I know don't want to touch a pack for a long time after their summit and...
I've owned 3 Tarptents and my only regret is that I didn't discover Henry's great tents sooner. While volunteering as a Pelican "washer" during the BP disaster, my Scarp fly, poles, and pegs were...
Don't try to apply logic to Bureaucracy. You'll confuse the legislature.
I'm taking a 5 day float on the Buffalo National Scenic River starting Sunday. If the park closes down there are to many bridges and access points for the Park Service to monitor. It will be a...
Sure is going to shoot Yoging in the a$$. Guess I'll have to carry some food. :eek:
Savor happy!
Mt. Squid, I just wanted to thank you for all the extra work and effort you put into making this thread and registry work. There's already a bunch of follks out here but not much hikertrash yet. Hope...
The approach trail falls are fantastic. The 650 steps suck. If your boots are broke in, do it. If you haven't had time to get them accustomed to your feet and vice a versa, I'd think twice about it....
Most hilarious rummor I've heard is that there's a "100 mile WILDERNESS" somewhere on the AT.
A breath of fresh air in the septic tank. Congrats Bus Driver. Whitehouse 2016?
If God issues "Hiking Wings", I'm sure Walkin got a matched set. His photos were always an inspiration for us and the main influence behind my mantra of "Savor Happy".
[QUOTE=BrianLe;1039485]I'm planning on the CDT for next year; my GPS for the PCT was the one built into my smartphone, and I "used" the same thing on the AT this year (not too much needed on either...
I just finished reading " Where the Waters Divide" by Karen Berger. Even though it was written back in the 1900's, it is stiil pertainent and indicative of the joys, hardships, and rewards that any...
Texag I talked with Dan yesterday and he thinks I may have a pack by Christmas. As everyone posted, Dan is a great guy and will spend all the time it takes to familiarize you with his packs and make...

Savor Happy, it doesn't last forever.
Thanks for all the great input. I'll call Dan in the morning and get an idea what's available. He has a good website but it's confusing since I've never hoisted a McHale before. The only thing that...
I winter hiked from Springer to New Found Gap with a ULA. Both seams above the belt pocket ripped out and the shoulder strap attachments were ripping out when I gave the pack back to MRO for parts....
I've decided to get a McHale pack for my 2011 CDT hike and would like to get some suggestions on volume ci, material choice, and suspension considerations from those of you that have experience on...
