Good points. The beauty of the AT is that gear can be changed out every 3-5 days. Nothing is etched in stone and everything is open to change. I posted this a while back but nothing much has...
Yes, because the tread got hijacked and went off topic.

I've added the Sawyer adapter to flush and gravity feed. The Therm-a-Rest AirTap Pump Kit and a Sandisk MP3 player. Those are the only changes. Sorry for the late response. Busy with other...
I'm thru-hiking beginning in March. There will be no better opportunity to meet and chat with the owners of the hostels along the trail. Thank you for the advice.

Good points. Maybe we'll just build on the property we own in Tennessee. We are pretty close to the AT. We are 10 miles outside of Gatlinburg. Maybe just offer rooms to hikers, pickup and drop...

I've only spoken to the Saints who own the Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega. They cater to the hiking community and biking.

I'm interested in buying a hostel in the North Georgia area. Other than the Hiker Hostel which is for sale at 800k, I haven't found any down south. We own property close to Newfound Gap in Tn and...
IMHO you are right on target brother. That's a killer base weight.
Well, I've had my channel before my decision to thru-hike. I'm not one for blogging. I would much rather shoot video of my experience. I currently produce and direct a television show. My...
I'm thru-hiking next year and have begun dehydrating some of my meals. I think it's a bit unrealistic to try and eat your own dehydrated meals for the entire trip. There are plenty of affordable...

I think Hammock Gear had a BF deal last year on quilts. I'm sure the others will too.
Let's share them here for our class as we see them. In years past the box stores and cottage vendors have had some great last minute deals.
I wish I could my friend. I've asked the creator of the app to have that as an option.
You know I'll notice that rock in my pack? LOL. HYOH. I just kept looking for lighter options and items that are dual purpose. If I was doing some hiking but mostly camping then my pack would...
I never use camp shoes. It's all fluid. If I find that I'll need them I will not hesitate to get a pair. I'll check out the IB shirt. Thanks.
Here is a video of the items I'll be carrying.

If you are modest you can always go "Comando" in a rain kilt. BTW, my wife came home while I was trying on the rain kilt and said "good god, what the hell are you wearing?" A rain kilt! was my...
I would like to take a zero or two there. My start date is March 13th and TD is May 14th. I think I'll too far north to come back south.
Right back at ya...Trailmercury

Here is a note that I received from Tenny and am posting...
