Nice. I’ve got about 90mi left to finish the BMT and thinking about the Pinhoti for my next.
If you stay mostly freeze dried, you might find 10 days worth weight isn't too bad. You may need to repackage some to trim down the bulk. Trips I take, if it's 10 days or less I just stay on the...
I use Aquamira as my primary treatment and carry the Be-Free for the times all I can find is a mud puddle. The only way I've found to make the Be-Free survive between trips is to do the vinegar wash...
Chknfngrs 100%. I treat it as a one hike consumable whether I use it for two days or multiple weeks. When you let it dry out it’s done.
Enjoying the zero day updates somers, thanks.
When I was there, 2 weeks ago, there was only pools and had to keep walking down the stream bed a bit until I found a place to dig out a pool and let it settle before I could filter. There's been...
Yeah, was up there the previous week and water was a problem. I managed to get the pipe going at a trickle at the Bald and dug out a little pool in the muck when I was at Naked Ground. Lower...
Big South Fork in Tennessee has a field lab also. I always give it a visit when hiking nearby.

Like you, i've tried a few alternatives but after trying went back to the gossamer.
Good info Gambit, thanks for the post. I've got three more years until free of work - looking at either the PCT or CDT when I can through. I'm like you though, not sure about the desert part; I do...
I'm with LoneStranger, 60 to 90 minutes. I like to enjoy a coffee or two and a leisure pack up. Only time I'm under 60 min is if it's raining and 'cram and go' like LoneStranger said.
You know it's cold when the rhodes get that wilted look.
The family and I stayed there couple years ago when I did the Benton MacKaye trail. We booked one of the Lodge rooms not the cabins. Was worth it to us to be able to spend the weekend together day...
Yep, you nailed it. Grew up in Ringgold, GA and Georgians seem to always add the state when asked.
Just a guess but maybe it referred to the thickness of the canvas similar to how copper wire sizes are denoted in the U.S. '00' or 'Double Aught' being thicker than say #2 or #1.
.. also, nice thing about that bag is it has open baffles and you can shift the down around when you need to. If the temp warms up just shift some down around to the bottom.
This is what I carry for cold weather. It's a 0F but I bought it about 15yrs ago so I call it a 10F or more now due to age. They still make the same model now just with a higher down rating so it's...
I'd say you'd be good with a 20 as long as you have some kind of down/synthetic jacket also to supplement with. Guessing that time of year you're going to see a few below 20F nights. I do a lot of...
Sounds more like chiggers than fleas. I hike mainly in the south east US so not sure if Crete has them or not.
I'm no ultralighter but I've been gradually cutting my pack weight down over the years. I can usually do a 8 day no resupply easily with a 65L pack. Biggest space saver I did was going to a down bag...
Freeze dried eggs for me. Easy cleanup.
I started using an umbrella about 5 years ago but still carry a jacket also. For me, the umbrella is great for those days with frequent straight down rain where donning a jacket would require...
All I can say is Wow. I thought the 4th Amendment applied to all States. ;)
Yep, law enforcement or any government agent would need a warrant to search anywhere a person has a 'reasonable expectation of privacy'. Opening up another person's tent by another without the owners...
