We have a 2 night 3 day 40 miler planned for March 13/14/15 if any 2015 AT thru hikers in the Knoxville area would like to go. Gregory Ridge/Cades Cove to AT to Lost Cove, then down Lakeshore to the...
Mucho Gracias, sir. Very helpful.
Excellent, Thank you, sir.
Vets, section hikers. I am doing a NOBO thru hike this year and would like to keep my mail drops to a minimum, and plan to buy most of my provisions along the trail. This being the case, I hear that...
Ok all you veterans, I've been doing several overnighters and plenty of day hikes (over 600 miles in the Smokies this year), and usually take my phone (iPhone 6) with a rudimentary case and a ziplock...
Leaving NOBO first week in April. Any suggestions - should I use the Jetboil to Damascus and the Alcohol later. Any suggestions appreciated.
Any suggestions - ?Jetboil during cold months/Alcohol stove later? Starting first week of April. Please be brutally honest :-)
Serious tent question here. I start NOBO the first week of April, and still have not settled my shelter. I would like input from experienced past AT thru hikers, or other long distance AT hikers. I...
Listerene 8.5 ounce bottle works great too.
Get the Podcasts App and then get Serial (it is a NPR product) - it is 12 part series that is amazing and free. I have had an Audible.com account for years and it is amazing. I have War and Peace,...
OMG Jim ... I have no words.
I ditto Red-dog. I made a cozy out of Reflectix, and use the zip lock freezer bags. Sometimes you need to let it rehydrate for longer than 10 minutes, but it usually comes out fine. Regular oatmeal...

Thanks for all the great information. I did follow Redbeard, and saw his review. I think he is from my neck of the woods! I'm gonna keep monitoring things, but will probably get a Solo Plus in...
Thanks - I have several of the stuff sacks and the food bag - one of my favorite pieces of equipment. Also have some of the repair tape. Any particular reason you chose the Hexamid Twin over the Solo...
Does anyone have any longer term experience with any of the Z Packs equipment, specifically the Cuben Fiber back packs and tents? I am thru hiking in 2015 NOBO, and would like some feedback since...
I'm planning a 2015 thru hike starting around April 1 and live about 45 minutes from the GSMNP. I have been doing a lot of 15 - 20 mile day loops, and have put away close to 175 miles since late...
Hey Guys and Gals,
I'm starting around April 1, and don't have a trail name as of yet. I do live about 45 min from the GSMNP, and have started doing a lot of hiking there in prep for my 2015 thru...
I'm a physician and planning on a 2015 thru hike. I suspect you will not need the Victoza if you are a type II on the hike, especially if your HBA1c is that good. You will loose weight and build...
