Is Devil's Backbone Basecamp currently open? I'm heading back north from the Smokies and would like to spend the night around this establishment as it wasn't operating (or I wasn't aware of it)...

Fantastic feedback here, thank you all. I've been to hammockforums and appreciate the WB community getting me rolling. Lots of research to do!

excellent. will investigate. thank you

I'm looking into investing into a new hammock or building out a setup with my Hennessy Ultralite Backpacker Classic. Has anyone turned this model into a reliable 3-4 season shelter? I see all the...

10 mi on the maryland AT should be doable for experienced hikers. some thoughts:

- start early to accomodate different paces
- July is hot. Water sources are unpredictable. Ensure your group...

I thru hiked sober. Started NOBO in March. By the time I reached the Smokies I decided to switch to an alternative thru. I can't say it was due to substance use on the trail, but as I did my...

Just end in Gorham. Southern Maine is like one of those Saw movies. Finish this trip on a high note in the lovely Whites and tackle psychotic Maine on its own.

as soon as i got out of that hospital i would head to the closest yoga studio full of hot chicks, ask for a restorative class, tell them "i need to recover from killing a mountain lion with my bare...

i thought you were gonna say he was slappin' pap

Any suggestions for 12+ mile loop or out and back trails that aren't on the AT or just intersect with it in the northern virginia area? Waterfalls, stellar views, etc..?

Just hit the Whites (New Hampshire) and hike on and off the AT. Mid Atlantic is fun but not really a good representation of the best offered by the AT.

Just got back from hiking this section. Food supply depends on your mileage (do you have your trail legs yet?) I'd say in general you can go with 2 days worth of food at any point through the...

Thanks. Where'd you park in Waynesboro?

I'm looking to start a SOBO of SNP in the coming days, parking at the 4H Center at SOBO MM 1222.1 and exiting at Rockfish Gap. There are several shuttle in AWOL, but does anyone have experience with...

Summer of 2008 I believe. Caledonia State Park while car camping there. Asked a ranger where the AT was, he just pointed without looking at us. He thus earned the name "Hard Ranger," who my buddy...

How easy is it to catch a hitch on the MST? Particularly section 3, but I'm curious about everyone's experience across the whole trail.

Thanks!

Cool yeah that's what I was thinking but I can't find anyone available to be the other car, so I'm also thinking I have a shuttle pickup at a trailhead where I drop my car, head to the other side and...

cool what's your contact info?

I need to get out of crazy Florida and on to the AT. The catch is I can't take any time off work. The upside is that my work shift (remote via computer) ends at 3:30PM M-F. So some questions for...

good for her. big fan.

There are plenty of people on the trail to give their opinions and annoy you. That is why I hike solo, and I hike against the herds. As far as this internet forum goes, its an internet forum, I...

Anywhere on the AT is chilly, but I've hiked NJ-NY in that timeframe and had a blast. It was rainy but the daytime temps were moderate and the elevation is rarely high enough to keep you bundled up...

i say this all the time. you are screwed on healthy food until you get to new england. consider dehydrated maildrops...

I used mountain inn suites. It was basically a holiday inn express, suited me just fine and I'm picky.

A thru hike can be stressful enough just dealing with the daily nature of it. IMO the trail is much better experienced if you aren't under tight deadlines or financial constraints. How about setting...
