- between 10 and 15 days, depending on your daily average. Hiking is not too demanding. Still somewhat rocky and steep in places, but not too challenging.

I agree, the 18 degree bag would be overkill. You should be perfectly fine with the quilt and some layers.
Regarding the coat, I own a cheap Costco down jacket that I bring when I'm out there during...

He does. 540-290-4002

I used an evernew bag on a 1-week section with my son last year. Compatible with the squeeze threads and no problems whatsoever.

Actually, I really don't.
I don't have any knowledge or opinion about either the university or the publication. You seemed to have an opinion and I just wanted to know more.

Carry on.

I did a little over 10 seconds of research and at first glance couldn't find anything wrong with either the University of New Haven (except that a Raiders coach is an alumn) or the "European Journal...

I thought you had to stay in the shelters in GSMNP.

I wouldn't be too worried about the amount of my food Mr. Mouse eats, I would be more worried about what he chews through on his way to my food.
All the smellies in the bear bag - worst case...

The main US carriers using GMS are T-Mobile and AT&T. Reception for both of them is spotty in the backcountry. You're better off following slo-go-en's advice.

Nope. He had to quit because of wildfires. Also, his hiking partner broke a bone in his foot.

Wow. Couldn't imagine a bear willingly falling from a 20' high branch.

Sorry, but I disagree. IMHO, no bear, large or small, will defeat a properly executed PCT method bear bag hang.

We did not, for various reasons:
My son is in the middle of a growth spurt, so expensive shoes are too small within a short time. Also, he's right between kids' size and adult, so chances were slim...

I just wanted to take a minute to thank Adam (Stanimal) for saving our hike.
My son (13 y.o.) and I were doing a section from Spy Rock, VA NoBo last week. Well, 4 miles into it, my son's right shoe...

Well, according to Scott's statements, they did exactly what the authorities told them. They hiked up in a group size within the limit (which was apparently confirmed by a ranger), the guy who...

I don't disagree with you at all. Still, I'd rather let a fraudulent "Service Dog" owner slide than accusing a real one of fraud.

Coolest thing I've ever seen. The dog smells dangerously high or low blood sugar levels and alerts (as in - totally freaks out) even when the patient is sleeping, until he or she sees that the...

I don't think a blanket suspicion is warranted. There are lots of "able-bodied" people in need of service animals. You (not you personally, of course) don't know who is a vet struggling with PTSD....

Judging from some of the comments here in the last few day, maybe they should route the AT from Vermont straight through to Quebec, completely circumventing Maine. It seems like the dirty, filthy,...

Great. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks for your help.

We've done some 2 and 3-nighters in SNP and never had issues with camping there, but the area south of Rockfish Gap is new to us. I'm still trying to figure out camping options between Maupin Field...

Thanks Big Cranky. I had planned to resupply and maybe stay in Waynesboro for a night. We will definitely check out the Chinese buffet.

Hi, long-time lurker - 1st time poster here.

My son (14) and I are planning a 2-week hike from Spy Rock NOBO (as far as we can get) in August. Since we have never done an extended hike like that,...
