I used one on a week section hike in July, it fit well in my bag and honestly I enjoyed not having to deal with a bear bag in the evenings and morning. I just closed up my food and toothpaste each...

There is not better place for kids than on the trail as long as you teach them what they need to know.

My 8 year old son and I hiked the Georgia section in July and are going back for another hike...

Why is there a parrot on the sign? I don't have many AT miles, but never seen a parrot.

Sounds like it was poorly run and the YELP reviews indicate the same. I like the pictures, 6 donuts...

The best pop-tart is the one you didn't eat. It may be full of calories but there is a difference between good and bad calories for energy.

M&M's, peanuts, pretzels, dried banana chips, cheerios, raisins, & craisins is my staple mix.

Thanks for sharing, great videos, love all the stories from hikers.

Lol, ya right. You can't buy 3+ acres close to the AT and build 3 buildings for that price. Maybe 3 acres and a used double wide.

Yes, but a nice lodge building, 2 nice out cabins, 3+ acres, close to the AT, doesn't seem all that bad. Hard to understand how you make it sustainable at 60% occupancy and low rates with $3,000+ in...

The Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega, GA posted on Facebook 2/1/2016 that their place is up for sale. What a wonderful business venture for someone that is already up and running and providing great...

Does anyone have one of these or experience with one? I love this all in one setup along with the easy to use strap setup. The ability to setup on the ground with poles is also a very nice feature...

This sounds like a dream, you get to go out and experience an AT Thru Hike with support from back home. During your roughest days on the trail, support messages from your co-workers will get you...

If anyone is interested in the numbers, here is a link to the charts....
