Planning an AT trip through Smokies in mid June and need to lighten my load. I was looking at the average low temperatures. I'm trying to swap my sleeping bag out for a super light blanket of such....

Thank you for the reply FlyPaper. That is exactly the advice I was looking for.

I’m a section hiker who has completed the AT up to Fontana. Can someone please give me an easy schedule through the Smokies. Im only good for about 3 to 3.5 days hiking. I know it will take two...

I’m only a section hiker and I have completed the AT to Fontana. I’ve been trying to figure out best way to complete the Smokies. Im only good for 3 or 4 days. Can anyone lay me out an easy route?...

I know I will have to make reservations at the shelters during a section hike. Can you tent by the shelters or do you have to stay in shelters?

Will the ‘Thru Hike’ bubbles be mostly cleared out of the Smokie Mountains by 2nd week of April?

The Smokies section is not going to work out like most of you mentioned with the shelter closings. I’ll save that for early fall. Can someone help me with a three night section that will include the...

Can someone give me some layout options for completing the Smokies section of the AT. I have completed GA and NC and would like to continue into TN. I usually hike between 10 and 15 miles a day. Will...

I really appreciate the information. I think the best thing to do is to pack my stuff up and go to The outfitter. My guess is that I would be fighting the 50 because I don’t like items hanging...

$350 Great shape. Used less than 20 times. No marks or tears anywhere. I have cleaned it each Trip. I store it loose in a crate. It's just too big for myself. I bought it dreaming my wife would go...

I sent you an email

That's interesting. I have close to the same mat from big Angus insulated core SL and I have noticed that I lose air. I placed it in the tub and was not successful finding any bubbles. Even though...

JC13 and Sore Ankle that's exactly what I was after. Thanks.

Great advice to leave your car in Franklin. That's exactly what I did. I left my car at Microtel Inn and called David Waters. Great shuttler.

That's a good point. That would save 2 to 3 pounds.

Could I do 10 miles on day 3 and be picked up at Clingman's Dome? And break this schedule into two sections?

I have completed Amilicola to Fontana in three sections over the last two years. I was excited thinking I completed GA and NC. However I see where the trail goes back into NC? At what point can you...
