Thanks, soilman!! Surely you had some sort of gloves? Possum down are kind of like wool gloves, only they are made from possum "fur", which I guess is considered down because a possum is a bird?...I...

I forgot to include my rain gear:
Heliun II rain jacket
Helium rain pants

I think I have pinned down my NoBo 2019 Thru hike start date to April 7th. I'm wondering what the weather will be like and what to be prepared for. I currently have a cold weather setup and a warm...

I've read that often sometimes the campsite gets booked up. can I/should I call a day or two ahead for a reservation?

That is simple and very convenient! Thanks for the info, peakbagger!

Great! I have a Zpacks Arc haul backpack with the Zpacks liner. I also have a very lightweight and compact Sea-to-summit daypack that doubles as a stuff sack and shopping bag. It sounds like I have...

A list of hiker traditions is exactly it. I agree it is a personal thing, that is why I am looking for a comprehensive list to see which of them might interest me. I know there are many.

Is there available somewhere a list of all the things one might want to do or see while thru hiking the AT?

Does Cloudland Market in Roan Mountain actually exist or are there any grocery stores in Roan Mountain?

Just wondering if there was such a thing as a cheep disposable duffel bag for backpacks that can be used for checking backpack and gear when flying.

For a cold weather sleep system, I have a Mountain Hardwear Phantom 15 which has a comfort level down to 24 degrees Fahrenheit, Sea to Summit silk stretch mummy liner, and a Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite...

MtDoraDave, so you were OK sleeping in the same base layers that you hiked in?

I'm still not clear on Base layers and sleep clothes. I'm looking at a mid to late March AT thru-hike NOBO start date. Normally on any typical spring and fall backpack trip I would have the following...
