Will be hiking the Benton Mackaye/ AT loop starting in the beginning of March myself and will be hiking with you till the North end of the Smokeys before heading back down the BMT. Cant wait to get...

In the beginning I definitely split stuff up with others but by the end I just carried it all because eventually I was going to use it anyways and those items are usually very light anyways.

Pisgah forest area near Looking Glass or in the Linville Gorge area NC. Both are great and plenty of dispersed rec sites around but not on the AT. On the AT I can only recommend in the Standing...

Sgt Rock if I didnt already have a plan in regards to the reservations I would take you up on that offer as well and it sounds like a great plan. I take it you also are involved with the BMTA? I am...

I buy a few pair each new season and this was perfect timing for the upcoming trail season along with some Injinji toe socks. Thanks very much for the posting and its perfect timing! :D

I saw three on my hike in as many states. PA VT and ME. I think they are cool creatures and very slow and docile from my experiences with them, plus we dont have those in Texas so its cool to see...

I knew I didnt want to go back to a "normal life" after my hike from the beginning. I started doing a bunch of trail work in the winter and saving money and got a short crew leader job during the...

I used this pack for my thru this year carrying from 20-35 pounds depending on season and food. I had the same issues at the heavier weights and have heard the same thing from many others with the...

I have a very similiar setup. The main difference is I use a mesh bag for the rock bag which doubles as my pot scrubber. Wad up and wash dishes and then shake clean.

Not sure if you consider the MSR dromedary a platty but I have been using two of them for the last 15 years and never had a problem with them. They do weigh 5 OZ so heavy by todays standards but I...

I will be planning a thru hike of the Sam Houston Lone Star Trail around the 2nd week of February. Dont have exact plans yet but if anyone would like to join me feel more than free to contact me.

Having experienced it the one time I tried a hammock, it means Cold Butt Syndrome. That is why you need a pad or under quilt in a hammock.

After all that above a rainyvday backpacking is bettet than not.

Rain is what I prepare every hiking trip for no matter what. I will no longer carry a poncho because of high wind rain. I must have camp shoes and dry socks because my feet freeze in wet boots even...
