At home, what would you use to clean water filter tubes. I have a Katadyn filter, which I love. Vinegar, bleach? hydrogen peroxide? There is no apparent mold in my tubes. Thx.

I guess it may help to add usage is late spring in southern new england on the AT and northern new england on the AT in summer
You've convinced me that The big agnes may be right for me. For me, I would prioritize these things in this order: dryness, warmth, weight, space. It'd be nice to have the space and lighter tent,...
Is there a guideline on how much warmer it is in a tent with a rain fly vs not? Trying to decide between a zpacks duplex and a big agnes fly creek. The duplex is lighter and has more room, but I...
So I have decided this is not an issue, what to use to prop a tent up for the ones that use trekking poles. I am considering a zpacks duplex now and using their prop up poles. It is between that...
I wish I knew what it was like to have trail legs. I used to spend a good amount of time thinking about the differences between section and thru hiking. They are many. I have done this only three...
Don't get me wrong, thru hikes are epic and I would like to do one, but I dont think my body would be able to take the abuse. I have about half of the technical 200 done, and should have those done...
I used to have thru-hiker envy, but any more, I find it more interesting to talk to section hikers because there's more of a variety of stories on how it gets done. My longest section of 6 was 126...
I was there about July 9, when I crossed it as stated above. Was okay then. It must come up good with storms and go back to normal pretty quick.
Congrats. Sectioning is no simple task. I'm 15% done in 3 years and it should take me about 20 years total.
You shouldn't get wet. I was there over the fourth of July after it had been not dry and didn't get wet. I'd be more concerned about the climb up Moody Mtn. Straight up!
51.75 inches, 131.4 cm tip to top of handle. I'm tall. They are tall.
If its eyelets, I can rig something I think. If its "cups", I can't. I appreciate all the feedback. I open to things, but was just looking for some ideas. I may try a bivy type with a tarp. I...
The hiking poles came loose where the handle meets the pole and sometimes I grip the pole low and my skin was getting pinched. They were a christmas gift and getting the receipt to get them fixed...
They tall, lol.
I had black diamonds that broke. I really like to put weight on my poles. I'm not opposed to new poles, but would rather try to use what I have since I like them better than collapsable poles.
I am looking for any type of shelter that uses a trekking pole for setup, but the setup cant be dependent on the pole height. Any ideas? When I got into longer distance hiking, I wasnt sure if I...
I did 12 miles from Full Goose to Baldpate Lean to the day I did the notch. It took all day near the summer solstice, so that was about 12 hours of hiking. I start getting out of camp at sun up. ...
I have a warbonnet xlc setup with tarp w/doors and 20 degree underquilt. Basically all that is needed except stakes. I will sell for 70% of what I paid for it all. Used a couple times, very...
Very tough, but great!
It was so nice to hike with you for a little while coming down off Old Speck! What an odd coincidence. I had many wacky things happen on my section outing.
I hid a bear canister there. It was there for the resupply when I got there and was there when I went to get it on the way home. Worked like a charm!
I have heard about this and seen on youtube there may be a reroute of the trail around a beaver flooded part of trail somewhere between Duncannon and Swatara Gap state park. Two questions, what mile...
When do you plan to go?
Now I'm thinking of leaving my own food drop hidden in a bear canister at Grafton Notch. Would this be absurd? I've heard of people making a resupply for themselves before, so I wouldn't think this...
