They're not parking there so should have no problem.
One of the best AT sections to do. Have fun.
I've found that backpacking has made me a pepper of sorts as I'm always buying #10 cans I see on sale to repackage for trips. With Mountain House's current expiration dates, any unused cans can be...
That's too bad. He was very kind to my wife and I when we passed through a few years ago.
Cool. Sounds neat.
That is a great price. My wife has the female version (in purple... I call it "Barney") and likes hers. We normally use it for winter/extended trips, or when she is bringing her photography...
If they were in it for money, they're Uber/Lyft drivers now...
The circumstances are no different than wearing a seatbelt. I wear mine every time I get into the car; nobody calls me paranoid and I never expect to get into an accident - but I still do it. Who's...
I don't know about the new model, but with the older generation osprey exos some people liked to hang a bladder between the pack and the trampoline suspension for ease of access. You could do that,...
Osprey packs tend to have generous hip belt sizes.
Pearisburg North to 220? is my favorite section.
I would try it. Looks like it's coming out late May per the Spam website.
Yep. Don't forget shelters WITH privies too.
Jordan found incompetent to stand trial.

Which park do you think has more per visitor bear issues... SNP, or GSMNP?
I'd say the latter by a long shot.
More bear problems in a designated camping area...
OK...thought I might have missed something.
Why did get rid of the old (Granite gear?) pack?
I agree, and noticed his gear is I'll fitting as well. I think it's in part due to him still being quite overweight. I'm impressed with the progress he's made, I just hope he stays injury...
I've bought from Knifecenter before. Their prices aren't always the best, but they're otherwise good to go.
ETA: I'd think hard about getting a karambit style knife. They're really nasty looking...
I don't really care for neck knives, but the ESEE Candiru or ESEE Izula would both be good choices. The Candiru is 1.7oz and comes with a nice secure sheath that can be inverted. Oh yeah, you can...
Who do we think posted the relatively large bond for the murderer? I highly, highly doubt he had the money. I would assume a family member did because no bondsman is going to post bond for a...
Honestly I think this incident makes a great argument for stealth camping, or at least staying away from shelters. Shelters will always attract the less serious/less prepared/party and drugs types.
To answer the OP's question...
I think the effectiveness of pepper spray in a situation like we had here is dubious. You're inside a tent and likely to catch as much as the attacker for one. ...
Why? Lawful gun owners are, necessarily, more law-abiding than the population as a whole. If you see a person with a concealed firearm, you can be reasonably sure that they've never committed a...
