Is White House landing open again. Last I knew it was closed.
I used a ULA Air-X as my pack. It has the advantage of using a sleeping pad as the padding in the back pack. I only used it 4 times from Springer to Marion Va. and was in my hammock the rest of the...
I attempted a thru this year, and can tell you that all my planning was shot before I reached Neel Gap. I did a lot of physical training and it turned out that all my mail drops were way to early. I...

Use Marino wool. One set of long johns 22 oz. and one set shorts 14oz. is all you need. I went from Springer to Marion Va. this year and ever needed more. Started March 20th. In hotels I hade gym...
NC, GA, TN are all about the same you will not notice big changes until you get to VA. You still have big climbs but they are over a longer distance.
I'm doing a section hike and its 18.4 miles between there two shelters. What is going to be the best camping between the two?
Water is reliable in that section at the shelters. We have had enough rain that you should have no problems.
I'm planning a section hike in September and am looking for a shuttle from Bland back to Mt. Rogers visitors center. Any help thanks.
I've decided packs and cans used a year later without problem.
The formula I have seen is [x -(70 - y)/2 = z] provides this:
X=45 and Y=55: 45-(70-55)/2=15
Learn to stay warm. IMHO that the learnig curve in a Hammock is staying warm. Most that I have see that gave up on a Hammock had trouble staying warm. After you learn to stay warm you will never go...
Going to be difficult to get freeze dried vegetables with out mail drops. I made the decision to go with mail drops after section hiking from Springer to Domascus. There are some things that you just...
150 is lightweight 200 is midweight. The numbers are thread size I beleave. I started with 150 but changed to the 200 after I tearing a couple of the 150 ones. I think 200 weight will last for my...
Almost everythin I have now is Marino. I have used the Marion T for 18 days Its a lie to say it does not sting at all, but a nylon shirt stinke worse after 1 day. The bigest disadvantage to Marion is...
I do not think ti matters as long as it deamed a service dog.
A cheep rodent proof bag can be made by using the air bags from a car. I got them from the junkyard. They did not even charge me for them as they were already deployed. You hust have to sew a couple...
Try an umbrella. They can be found around 7 oz. I have clips so that mine is hands free.
Clean the parts that do the sealing. I even a little dirty you will lose the seal.
Try a Kilt, Its one of the most comfortable ways to hike that I have found. In cold weather I just use Long Johns.
I have been through that section several times and water has never been an issue.
I have parked there 4 times, while I hiked back from Newfound Gap. Never a problem.
My 1/4 lb is dry weight, I planing 180 days for my hike, there is extra planed in, and I'm basing my use on 160 days eating on trail. I'm just not sure if I should plan extra for when hiker apatite...
My longest section hike was 22 days and I never developed a hiker apatite, so not sure extra to account for that.
