Thanks for the responses. We have decided that we will just ask for - hitch a ride after we have summited Kitahdin. That seems to be the easiest and most practical way to do this.

My wife and I will be hiking the 100 Mile Wilderness at the end of August. We will be starting with a seaplane ride from Millinocket to Monson and hiking back north. We have the opportunity to...

I am planning a trip through the 100 Mile Wilderness between August 19th and the 28th this summer. I am wondering which bag I should plan on bringing. The 45 degree bag is half the weight of the 20...

We were planning on keeping our packs. By that point our packs will probably be between 15 and 18 pounds or less.

We'll probably just hitch hike back to th Sea Plane base. A 19+ mile day does...

What is the best way to get from Katahdin to Abol Bridge? How far is it?

Here is what I am thinking now. After we hike from Katahdin Stream Campsite to the summit of Katahdin we will descend via the Abol Trail to Abol Campsite.

What are the odds thatwe will be able...

Hos,

Have you tried the CVS Intense Relief? Does it work as well as the Hydropel?

Are there any other products already on the shelves that work as well as Hydropel or that do the smae job...

I would like to know if anyone is using a product that is similar to Hydropel for their feet? The cost of this stuff is truly amazing.

On a side note, does anyone have a "recipe" for making...

Last night I sat down and drafted out a rough itinerary.

8/27 - Drive to the Katahdin Area - Fly to Monson

The dates of our trek are going to be between August 28th and September 6th. Keep the ideas coming.

I am in the initial planning stages of putting together my "big" trip for this summer. My wife and I would like to do the 100 mile wilderness in Maine. We are both avid backpackers and are fit. We...

He said that he was going to be send me a few packets. As soon as I get some, I will pass along a report.

My brother in-law found this product, "Fuel Gel, Diethylene Glycol, Military". It is supposed to be used as a replacement for the old Trioxane bars. has anyone tried these? It appears to be sterno in...

The one place that I know of that does not allow glass or tin cans in the backcountry is the Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario.

Freeze dried is dehydrated, but not all dehydrated is freeze dried.

I just got done arranging a 9 day trip on the NJ AT for a group of 12 Scouts and Scouters. For our dinners we ordered the bulk #10 cans of Mountain House. Then broke then down into individual...

www.minimus.biz has all kinds of singl serve packets. They have syrup in cups but none that I could find in just packets. Their honey can be found here http://www.minimus.biz/detail.aspx?ID=7477

Just wondering where the wave of thru-hikers will be at the end of June and early July? I will be hiking the NJ section between June 28th and July 6th and was guessing that the timing will be about...

My wife just discovered a new item at the supermarket. Jello is now making instant pudding packets in single servings. They come in chocolate and vanilla. You also have the choice of sugar free or...

We have decided that we will have volunteer drivers drop us off and then pick us up the following week.

We are planning the hike for a total of 9 days. I could do the hike in less than that but with teenage Scouts and older adult Scouters along we are planning on some relatively easy days. The days...
