I posted a few days ago about hiking weather from Unicoi Gap to Fontana Dam in Oct/Nov. After further research I started wondering if I needed to be concerned with hunters during that same time...

I will be using a 15 degree down quilt with 2 1/2" thermorest and of course the rest of the normal cold weather gear. I don't mind cold but not that dam cold! lol

WOW! I was thinking low to mid 30's by night maybe, but not as low as below zero for mid to late November.

Thinking of hiking from Unicoi Gap thru the Smoky Mtns starting late Oct through Mid to late Nov. Any thought on weather and water. Have already done Springer to Unicoi that's why I'm starting...

Hey 2000miler, I live south of Houston and would be happy to hook up for a hike. Will be thru hiking the AT the latter part of March, need to do some gear checking... :)

I understand not to let a Sawyer filter freeze, questions is how are you storing it during your hike? In a zip bag, open in pack meshing or other means? This is my first post and TIA for the input.
