    I haven't tried it but just had a look and it looks almost identical to the one I used. The extendable hip belt and removable lid would be the only major differences. It certainly looks like the one...

    Hi Blackett,

    I found that regular packtowels were pretty bad at sopping up liquids (like tent condensation) and after a few swipes on the inside of a tent were pretty useless. The shamwows seemed...

    @ TNman,

    No worries chief, its my pleasure. Your target weight sounds good. I was also a noob to hiking before my thru; the AT was my first hike. Good luck.

    yep, that's them. Mine was slightly older maybe, because I notice 2 zippers on that bag. Either way its way better that having to dump out your food everytime you want a cliff bar.

    The AT was my first hike (excluding a 5 day hike when I was 13 in Outward Bound). I was at Springer 30 days after finding out what the AT was. It took me 6.5 months and I was a fatty at the start.

    How about a Sept 15 or so start NOBO or even a NOBO start from where the AT and LT split? There was a guy named Spaceman that drew comic in the AT registers in 2009 who said it...
