Thanks Tennessee Viking. I appreciate your input. We have done this section before but always in the fall. I expect the sun can be quite intense out on the balds.

I have had the Big Agnes Lost Ranger for the last several years. Never took it down to 15 but have used it in the high 20s. Got a little cold in the high 20s. I sleep cold so I usually add 10 to...
I am a veterinary pathologist.
Thinking about a short hike over Roan Highlands from Carvers gap to 19E in a few weeks. Does mid June look like a good time for the rhodendendrons over Roan Mountain this year. I believe that is...
Recently purchased one at our Kmart. I think it was around $7.50 tax and all but certainly not over $8.00 if my memory serves.
A second on Zelphs supervenom. Great stove. Efficient, sturdy, built in pot stand. Works well with heiny or fosters pot (try zelphs new ribbed fosters pot. Improves the durability of the can) ...
If you intend to wash it before using it to reduce the crinkle noise then wait until after you wash it to trim because it will shrink a small amount.
Taco,
I have the setup you are asking about with the Air Core pillow and the memory foam cover. It is a great pillow but not light. I used this pillow on a 2 week rafting trip through the Grand...
Just finished this section over this Labor Day weekend and thought I would give an update on the water sources. Started at Indian Grave Gap going to Carver's Gap. Did not check them all but the...

I have ordered from Campsaver on multiple occasions and they have always been great.
My one and only experience with MRO could not have been more pleasant. In fact the whole Damascus experience was great. My son and I got a shuttle from MRO up to Fox Creek for our hike thru the...
In Alabama I would have to suggest the Pinhoti. Around 100 miles if I remember correctly.
I have 3 of his stoves - super stove, mamba and cobalt blue solo. All are great little stoves. If I could only have one I would pick the mamba because of the reasons listed above in other posts. ...

I don't have this specific bag but I do use the insulated pad with other big Agnes bags. for me its works best to add 10 degrees to the listed temp. My lost ranger bag is listed as a 15...
