I love Guthook... is there a weather app most hikers use? I can’t find one online.

Happy hiking muddywaters...

Thanks for all the valuable dialogue on this topic (except for muddywaters-your comments were useless), and for the advice of placing the canister out in the open so bears cannot get leverage on it. ...

Thanks Big Cranky. That’s good info. I’m definitely going with my BV500...

From what I’ve just read, you should store your canister 100 ft downwind from your campsite. It should be wedged between some boulders, or placed in a thick bush, so a bear cannot roll it away or...

I already have the BV500 because I either hike with my pup or my partner...or both. For this hike I’ll be with my pup and we’re doing a 500 mile LASH from Atkins, VA to Harpers Ferry.

I use the...

How far from camp do you place your BV 500 at night?

Trying to decide whether to carry my food in my Zpack bear bag or in the BV500. I have both and while I like the lighter weight of my bear bag, I camp a lot at campsites instead of shelters and...

This is incredibly helpful...thanks so much. I’ve already spoken at length to Ratface Raines, so I have a really good start. Will reach out to all the others you mentioned, too. 👍

Thanks Pastor Bryon.

Hiking 466 miles over 35 days. Last year (2018) we did 350 miles over 25 days. I think it should be okay. I haven’t finalized my plans, but here’s a rough draft. Still need to adjust here and...

Slo-Go’en he gets high calorie, high fat and high protein dog food, so will only require 2 1/2 cups of food per day. He weighs 55 lbs so he’ll be able to carry his own food for up to 8 days ( 4cups...

Thanks stephanD

Thanks ratfaceraines. Will reach out once plans are more firm. Do you shuttle dogs, too?

Plan on starting hike 3/28 and finishing 5/1. Am hopeful weather will be decent that early in season.

I will be section hiking Ceres, VA to Harper’s Ferry, VA and will be driving from CO since I’m bringing my dog. Thinking I would park my car every 100 miles or so (i.e. weekly), and shuttle back to...

Anyone hiking NOBO in the Newfound Gap area in early August? Looking to go for a 5-7 day hike but don't want to hike alone this time.

Hey Tim! Lucky here. I'm headed to Newfound Gap tomorrow to finish out the Smokies. Wish you the best. Send me an IM sometime.

Howdy! I'll be starting a solo hike from Newfound Gap to Erwin, TN this Saturday, 10/29/11. I've hiked solo 3-4 times before, but there have always been plenty of other hikers around. I'm sure...

Heading back to the trail and need a ride from Asheville Airport to Newfound Gap on 10/29. Can anyone recommend who to use? Any help much appreciated!!!

Headed to Gatlinburg (Newfound Gap) on 10/29 for a 10-14 day NOBO hike. Hoping to make it to Erwin, TN before flying home to Austin. Will there be people on the trail during this time? Anyone...

Yeah, March 8th is definitely a firm date. Contact me off-line if you can help with transportation back to the airport.

Will anyone be on in the GSMNP during this time period? Thinking I might be ahead of the thru-hikers, but am hoping that I would hit some of them. Thought it might be nice to hike with others since...

I'm planning a 3 1/4 day hike from Chester Gap to Harpers Ferry. I've looked at the shelters and mileage in the AT Data Book, but am not sure about where I should stay each night, especially the...

Anyone interested in hiking from NOC to Erwin, TN starting on Nov 20th? I hope to average 15+ miles a day. Let me know if you'd like to join me. Here's tentative itinerary:
