Note that I have heard a portion of the AHT, including the area around and including the Ohio River shelter, is currently closed due to logging. They have an official reroute posted, but from what I...

Phillip Werner has a positive review of the Magma 30 Quilt over at sectionhiker.com: https://sectionhiker.com/rei-coop-magma-trail-quilt-30-review/

I have a 20 degree down quilt and a 20 degree synthetic bag. So the equation would be:


20 -(70 – 20)/2 = -5?

I've tried this system a couple times now on boy scout trips with temps down to...

I always carry a map of the trails/area where I am hiking. Thank you for the concise and detailed steps for finding water on the Knobstone Trail.

Or they could just go the cheap route: 44688

For us noobs who aspire to thru-hike the KT some day can you please tell us the secret of what you do when you come to a water source on the KT that is dry?

Update: It finally happened. Indiana Dunes is now the nation's 61st National Park: ...

That is what I have been doing for a couple of years now. Seems to work.

And I know it is anecdotal, but before I starting treating my groundsheet I did have a tick on it while camping in the...

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Evan's AT videos as well, he's starting sometime in April. Been watching him for a couple years now. Hope he goes the distance wearing those sandals. :)

Currently just Scoutmaster and Probation Termination.

I tried watching Amanda Bess's first couple of videos, but something about them turned me off. Since others have recommended her perhaps it...

I recently received a pair of EE Sidekicks as a Christmas present. Had the first opportunity to try them out on a winter campout with the Boy Scouts this past weekend. They completely exceeded my...

Not a large amount, maybe 15-20 times a year. I mostly do weekend backpacking trips.

I have used that stove for almost three years now with really no issues.

As for the BRS-3000T there have been confirmed reports of the pot supports deforming/bending:...

In the morning to you!

I would be surprised if Indiana Dunes S.P. gets absorbed into the proposed N.P. With it's proximity to Chicagoland it is one of the Indiana DNR's most visited parks, easily in the top 5. So it...

I purchased a gallon of this permethrin product last year: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TNYPQY4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Seems to work well.

Yes, I did an overnighter on the the Bloodroot trail back in May of 2015. It was my introduction to solo backpacking. About 13 miles, really no hills to speak of. Just a nice stroll through the...
