    Just read something about Jo Mary road. This seems like the more legitimate option, as there are articles written by Backpacker magazine on a section hike from Jo Mary Road to Kathadin. So I imagine...

    Base layers for a cold-natured SOBO

    Hello all,

    I am starting a SOBO thru-hike of the AT on June 1 of 2018.

    I have lived in the south a number of years, so I am unsure of what weights of base layers I need (i.e. lightweight,...

    No worries Deacon! I didn't think you were.

    I just made the decision a little while ago, and feel good about the decision. Thanks for your feedback though!

    That pea protein looks like exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

    I dig the Grateful Dead quote in your signature by the way! They're my favorite band.

    Haha, that's what I'm gathering. Her video basically outlined all the specialty vegan food she used ($$$!) on her thru-hike. Not trying to break the bank with all those specialty meals.

    I saw that! I'm not sure how it'd do with winds that hit it from the long side; that would be my only concern.

    We'll have to see and find out! I've heard many success stories with the fly creek, and don't doubt it's abilities. The biggest objective issue I've heard has been the lack of space (other concern...

    Haha, my sentiments exactly. In looking over all the other food that omnivorous thru-hikers eat as staples, I would believe I would have better nutrition, as a lot of their diets are composed of...

    Thru Hiking as a Vegan

    Hello all,

    Was just curious as to whether or not anyone here has thru-hiked as a vegan and/or would have any advice/ideas as to nutrition for a vegan on the trail? I realize that nuts and dried...

    So despite the positive things I've been hearing about the Duplex, I've decided to buy the Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1 to use (at least to start). Got it from REI, so I have their wonderful return policy...

    Despite the fact that it sort of benefits me (the warmth, not the big swings b/t warm and cold), that's quite sad to hear.


    Thanks for the valuable information though, nonetheless!

    June in Maine

    Hello again all,

    Just wanted to get something straight, should I expect cold weather in Maine during the month of June or will it be fairly warm around this time (that is, is it usually fairly...

    Thanks for that excellent overview!

    I thought they didn't because a video I'd seen where someone claimed it did not. Thanks for the clarification though!

    The Solo Plus Hexamid looked interesting, my biggest thing with that is that it doesn't have a bug net, weighs about as much as the duplex, and costs nearly the same. With these things considered,...

    Is there any way I can find out where water is scarce in advance? Those considerations make it more precarious, as water is definitely of utmost importance when the weather is so hot.

    Thanks all, think I may take the plunge on the Duplex. I've heard mixed reviews about the Big Agnes Fly Creek, but only good things about the Duplex (with the exception of those who neglected it by...

    Considering buying the ZPacks Duplex for my thru-hike. Just curious as to whether or not this tent would be good on the AT, since it's not free standing. I've also looked at the Big Agnes Fly Creek...
