So we will have to stop by a Ranger Station or Visitor's center to find the $1 map? It has milage and everything except for topography correct?

They probably do come in one size now that I think about it. I've got a small pack as well so sounds like these will suffice.

I'm fine-tuning the details, would a roughly 18 gallon one suffice?

Thanks for the helpful information everyone. I didn't know you could reserve all the sites for one permit all at once even if they are more than 30 days in advance, that is helpful. Looks like we...

Hey guys, planning a week or so in the Smokies in June with a few buddies, and I have a few questions. If you all would be kind enough to answer all/some of them I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm confused, I thought the Sea2Summit one would be equivalent to the cylinder Zpacks one? I'm not concerned with the roll top or not, only the shape. I have an Amazon gift card which is why I was...

Which shape blast bag do you have?

I almost bought the Zpacks one but I have a $15 Amazon card so that's why I was concerned about the Sea to Summit one. Which shape of the blast bag do you have? The cylinder or the rounder one? This...

Hey everyone, I just got a ULA CDT and though I have yet to test it in the field, it seems to be an awesome pack. I'm almost done getting my gear supply ready for this summer but the one thing I...

Sounds like getting in, resupplying, and getting out quickly will be too difficult then? Might have to spend the night in town, even though a few stubborn friends don't seem to support that plan at...

Thanks for the helpful replies everyone, from what I've gathered, it's got plenty of restaurants and other commodities. One worry I have is that it will be towards the end of the day when we arrive,...

Doing a week + long hike in the Smokies next summer, and planning on resupplying in Gaitlinburg. I've heard that it's sort of infamous, however, and this concerns me a bit. How are the commodities?...

Hey guys, does anyone have the G4? It looks really good as far as weight, price, and size goes. However, the one concern I have with it is that it doesn't have pockets on the side for water bottles...

I'm not going to be carrying two CCF pads, just the Zlite (maybe). I'm switching from a cheapo Amazon pack to a real ultralight pack, along with upgrading the last bit of my gear which has not...

I'm considering getting one of these, and I would probably use a torso length one as well because that would suffice fine in the hammock during the summer months.

I'm well aware that the CDT is a frameless pack, thank you very much. I'm also well aware that you do not HAVE to use a CCF as the frame.

Hey guys, I'm currently looking to upgrade my pack. I like both the ULA CDT and the Golite Jam, but my problem with them both is that there are no external straps to strap my CCF sleeping pad (I use...

Thanks for the replies guys! For the freezer bag cooking, do you pour the water into the bag, stir it up a little, then seal it and put it back into the pot and put the pot into the cozy, or do you...

Hey everyone, for all of my hiking career I've been using an MSR Pocketrocket to cook with. However, I am considering switching to an alcohol stove to save weight. I'm not big into the expensive...

I'm huge fan of sintax77. I've seen just about every one of his videos, including this one.

Thanks for the responses guys. I don't have a thicker bag than 30 degrees so I'm going to plan on wearing my clothes in the bag when I sleep. I think we are planning on going up Mount Adams, and then...

Today a buddy and I were sitting in class and randomly decided to take a trip this weekend to hike in the Whites. We both are fairly experienced backpackers, I've done the LT and my friend has done...

I'm 17 and I hiked the Long Trail. There will be plenty of people out there your age.

Thanks for the replies guys, it means a lot! If anyone is interested in reading about my journey, I updated my trail journals to include the entire trip. You can find it at...

Thanks everyone! Here is my victory photo 23649
