I love my Kumo; used it on the Long Trail this summer. What chest pack are you using? If you don't mind me asking.

I finished the LT August 20th, so this was around the 16th

I completely forgot to post on here about this, but I stayed at Corliss Camp the first night after my final resupply in Johnson. That night I didn't sleep very well, and besides the normal night time...

I've never worked my way down the AT in Georgia, but was curious about the difficulty as compared to the Long Trail up in Vermont. I was a little surprised when I got to the northern section of the...

Trail name is Stump, by the way, if I ran into any of you. I was wearing a black shirt with the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor (USMC) on it and some gray running shorts every day

What's up guys, just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here who has posted any info on the trail-it really helped me get an idea for what to expect when I went up to Vermont.

I started my hike...

Hey y'all,

Just got the go-ahead from my job to take off just under three weeks starting August 4 (I finish classes August 3), and will be heading north to do an End-to-End south to north. Looking...

I did the same exact thing, Coffee. The trail descended and I lost it somewhere in the rocks. Took me about five minutes to find the trail again.

I know this is over a year old, but I'm looking...

That's my birthday :D If I wasn't taking classes currently I'd love to. Have to wait until early May, though

I grew up in southern Texas, where my dad took me on a good number of car camping/mountain bike trips. Between those and running around the local woods any chance I got, I knew I liked being...

My first experience with a real pack on my back was in the Corps. Safe to say that, as a 5'6" male, I'm a lot better at hiking now that I get to pick what is in my pack (and that my pack fits lmao). ...

They could just want the lightest tent on the market. There are great companies that one could order from, but the only one I ​saw that had the same weight specs for tents was Six Moon Designs with...

Thanks Water Rat! That price is definitely one I only want to pay once haha. Most of my trips are solo, but I do bring my girlfriend occasionally and I'm not sure that in the summer I want to be as...

Hey yall,
Looking for either the Duplex or Solplex, in good condition. Was considering the solo+ until reading Stick's, and another guy's whose name I can't remember, review talking about the...

solid advice! I wasn't quite sure it did either... and he has the weight listed at 16.something oz. I'm wondering if the difference in weight from what is currently offered is because of no beak or...

Hey wolfgirl,

Let me start by saying I'm not sure if this allowed or not (did I get your attention?), so moderators please delete if it isn't, but there is a guy on backpackinglight with a...

Did Fox Creek to Damascus (42 miles i think) about two weeks ago. I camped just inside the woods at Elk Garden. Woke up to about 20 hunters and their dogs barking. The next morning when I got up to...

+1 on Kuhl. I had been in the market for some good quality pants to hike in for a while, because I've never had any and was using running thermal tights. I picked up a pair of Kuhl's at REI the other...

TNhiker, I had thought about that... since I use the Sawyer Mini (haven't gotten around to picking up something that may be better in freezing temps) I was planning on boiling the water to purify it

Thanks for the quick reply illabelle! That's good to hear

Hey guys, I'm on winter break from school and have been wanting to thru-hike the park sometime between now and Jan. (weather permitting). I know that all of the waysides and other places offering...

Hey Lindawg,

A 30 degree bag should be perfect, and sometimes a little warm depending on the elevation. I took a trip up to the White Mountains in NH this July and my 30 degree bag worked like a...

I've ran into a fair number of people in Shenandoah who started around the same time we are talking because of college. It's not impossible. Especially if you are in good hiking shape already. That's...

hey there kaptainkriz,

I was at Grayson Highlands in May. I parked at the Grindstone parking lot (it was 4 bucks a night, as previously stated in the thread). Very safe. The only PITA was that the...

I could be wrong, but I think your start date and plan of doing the trail in 120 days puts you in Vermont during mud season... don't take my comment as canon, but it is worth checking up on. That...
