Welcome from the MS Gulf Coast!
I have no place to hike other than 'hunting areas'. Hunting seasons last several months and begins as soon as the weather cools down enough to enjoy hiking. My trails are in national forests. Hunters...
Hey BWS! Good luck with your search for the perfect tent, but as an senior adult, I find a hammock much easier to climb in and out of. Just something you might want to consider. Happy Trails!
One should not expect hammock provisions while thru hiking or hiking shelter-to-shelter in GSMNP. I would be prepared to go to ground as you are supposed to stay in the shelter unless you have...
If you like the grip of Altras, they make a Lone Peak that is higher with more ankle support. I have the women's version, but haven't been on slippery slabs yet. Works well on algae covered wet...
I haven't posted in a while because I can't get out and, therefore, feel I don't have much to contribute at the present time. I am recovering from heart bypass surgery and probably won't be getting...
Good thing about the Ursak bag is it can be either. It is best used with the odor proof liner.
Gatlinburg is a pretty small town. You could call the different churches and ask them(shouldn't be too many). Maybe call NOC Gatlinburg. They might know.
I didn't like the taste of the water when I used my water bladder, tube, and suction valve. I replaced the bladder with one that is not supposed to give an aftertaste, but realized the valve itself...
I'm still here, just not good at solving them. I enjoy trying.
Why don't you experiment at home using hot water and/or stovetop and let us know if you figure something out?
Thanks perymk, for the info on sulfer and ChiggAway. I didn't know anything about that product. Deet doesn't work well for me in the deep south. Horseflies and deerflies laugh at it and so do...
On high, like temperature?
I carry a satellite rescue device for emergencies. It is for the peace of mind of my son, my 88 yr old mother, my pre-retirement coworkers, and friends. It puts an immediate halt to those annoying...
Well, I'm stumped.
Moon stone?
If you can find the audiobook narrated by Bill Bryson, it is very entertaining.
......Dew?
Don't know why previous posters need a folding spoon, but I do and here's why: i have a Jetboil stove designed so that everything packs up inside the pot, including the fuel canister. That is,...
Fray Check doesn't cauterize. It's a basically a diluted fabric safe glue that doesn't wash out. You would need to let it dry before you patch.
Walmart and craft/sewing stores have a product called Fray Check used to repair frayed edges before patching. It helps stop the continued fraying of the edges.
I can't see a date on the post. When I try to click on it, it says I have to login. Could be an old post, but no way to tell.
Dropdeadfred, the posts you seem to be referring to are at least 4 years old. The recent post was asking where to get insurance.
A search online came up with instagram post saying their phone lines are down. I do not have Instagram so couldn't read the entire post. Perhaps store/outfitter might be open and hostel closed but am...
