Sold! Thanks WB.
Patagonia Houdini is my go to wind shirt. Warm, super light and very comfortable. I have been using one for a couple of years now and it is the one piece of gear I never leave home.

I have an xwide/xlong 20 deg Enigma with the 850 treated down. I went with the 10D for the whole quilt to keep weight down relying on the treated down to deal with moisture. I have had it out on some...
Modesty, some leg protection, mine is rain resistant so I usually don't carry rain pants. Lots of ventilation and freedom of movement. Easy to take off and put on. Love the large pockets on mine as...
I hike in the Mountain Hardware Elkomando kilt and love it. I get a kick out of seeing the look on people's faces when they realize I am wearing a skirt. I have worn it down to 20 degrees with wool...
Torreya is always popular but the primitive campsites are usually available. (Unless the boy scouts have invaded) Phipps park is my usual Sunday hiking spot in town so if you see a tall bearded guy...

If you do get the Dirty Girls one trick I have found to help is to super glue the velcro to the shoe. And then carry a little extra velcro anyway. As for hiking in the snow with trail runners I have...

I use a windshirt over merino wool base layer for hiking and a down jacket in camp. Been fine with this down in the 20s.

Great movie. Bought it over the holidays and I have watched it four or five times since.

Be aware that a quilt designed for hammocks is usually narrower than one designed for use with a sleeping pad.

A lot of great ideas here but be sure you don't over do it either. Remember to take rest days and keep up with your nutrition.

Ursack for me.

While the road sections are obviously open the off road sections of the trail are not multiuse and are hiking only.
Thanks,

I have the app on my iPad and use it a lot for planning my section hikes on the AT. I like it so far. I do wish you could add in waypoints on the map and maybe get a mileage between each waypoint. It...

I just ordered a Solong6 in Cuban. I did a lot of research before ordering and read nothing but good reviews on this tent. The deciding factor for me was the 1+ sizing and the number of options. Judy...
