I don't usually advise knockoffs but the Lanshan 2 has decent reviews.
It is the basic design of zpacks duplex but silnylon vs cuben fiber and $100 vs $600. I think it weighs about 2.5 lbs. You have...

Agree with this. Like a WAZE app for the trail....

Is your fanny pack made for carrying or just a regular ol fanny pack? I ask because I actually have some old "regular" fanny packs. If I carry in it, how do you secure? My thought was to rig my...

Also, I like Altra shoes - they have a wide toe box and zero drop (rise from toe to heel).
For the Altra Superiors, I went up a half size. For the Altra Lone Peak 2.5, they...

I think they were replying to my question about a loop. Again, I apologize for hijacking the thread.



Thanks for the info.

Also do a search. I have a doc from another thread that has a good spreadsheet of the mileages clockwise and counter clockwise and camping options. I'd find it but I'm on my phone right now!

Anyone know a good Twitter account to follow with Scott's progress.
Although I love the updates from this forum, I'll be out and about today and it will be easier to follow by Twitter on my phone.

All this time talk - luckily the AT doesn't cross the International Date line. Phineas Fogg would crush the record!

So, I learned how to ignore someone on this forum today, which is good.
