I have not done, but my understanding is that it is a road walk from the southern terminus of the Pinhoti to the northern terminus of the FT. For that, you will probably need a road map.

If you do cover Georgia in less than 24 hours, i suggest going back to see what you missed in the dark. There are some really beautiful parts that would make a second time through in the light well...
I use them. I have the old OR Flex-Tex Low. They don't make them anymore. You can still get the ones that come up a little higher.
I started using them hiking the Florida Trail, primarily to...
Understood. Thanks for clearing the air.
Hike on.
Respectfully, of course it is his decision. He knows that already. But, he asked for advice. When someone asks for advice telling them it is their decision and there is no right answer is not...
Hike now. In five or six months you will learn the life lessons it will take your peers ten or fifteen years to learn.
Long distance hiking is a metaphor for life. Life is the journey not a...
They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay to...
Yup. Sure does.

Black Diamond Spot. A great spotlight for hiking and alternate 3 small LEDs for general light around camp or in the tent. I have four different headlamps and this is the one I always grab.
No. An esbit tab is a lot easier.
Crocs. I guess they're old school by now.
SMD = great stuff. I use the Europa '05 with my son. We are outgrowing it. I'm going for the Lunar Duo next.
I really don't mind the fiddling, but when they start to sing . . . oh my!
Don't make a final decision without considering the Granite Gear line. The Vapor Trail is not quite enough space for me. I have a Nimbus Meridian (3800 ci) which is my favorite pack right now.

Go with the Nalgene bladder. It is not that much more expensive, but is better even than the camelback and worth the price. I have used the same bladder for the last four years with no problem.

People who feel that way would never get anywhere near that far. They went home long before finishing.
Dang, what happened to the edit feature!
I got the Primus EtaPower Easy Fuel stove for our troop. It is a bit expensive, but I watched for an online sale ans snagged them for less than 1/3 the regular price. They can be expanded with an...
I hiked Unicoi to US 64 from Aug 2-Aug 5. I had no trouble finding water at the established sources. Some were running slow, but were there.
IMHO
Yes. Liners really do make a difference. The liners will adhere to your foot. Your other sock will adhere to the shoe. The two socks rub against each other and reduce or eliminate friction...
Definitely another vote for Mont-bell UL Down Hugger bags. I have three mont-bell bags in different temperature ratings. I even have one of the older models with no zipper. They all compress very...
He does. That's why he asked.
