I've used my REI self inflating for insulation in my hammock and didnt get cold down to about 34. Started sleeping in a hammock and will never sleep on th ground again.

Our family hikes with Blackbeard. My 3 and 4 year olds love it and I carry the baby in a child carrier pack. We've taken the older ones on a one night backpacking trip and they loved it. Looking...

Put the hand warmers between sock layers. If you just put them in the foot of your bag you'll wake up in an hour with toasty butt cheeks! I'm too poor for an under quilt. My pad with an extra foam...

I had a Big Agnes Encampment 15 and froze to death at 28. I swapped it for an REI Radiant and love it. It's roomy, warm, and light. I'm a big guy and a side sleeper/toss and turn sleeper. I use the...

Totally reasonable and polite response. Nothing wrong with skepticism, just no room for the rudeness of some of the others. Thank you.

Jobe,
The best advice I can give is related to this message board... Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Or you will also be like him. (Proverbs 26:4 NASB). Keep doing your thing and...

Thanks for your service first of all! Also check out Shining Rock/Cold Mountain...beautiful balds and relatively easy hiking.

If I can find it I'll send you a recipe for some delicious and healthy home made granola bars...customize to your preference or allergies.

Make your own granola bars loaded with a nut you aren't allergic to.

It's not on the Appalachian Trail...but you aren't talking about Stone Mountain in NC are you? It is a beautiful granite dome with camping all around.

Man it is a small world. I hope we weren't tooo loud Saturday evening. I talked to one of you on the way out about backpacking on Rogers Mountain. I haven't had a chance to look up any info yet,...

It's a small world and this may sound somewhat strange in a stalker kind of way...but if you squint really hard at your last picture (number 7)...you'll see me and our party in the background. We...

Well it was a success with a lot of drama. We went to South Mountain and camped at the Shinny Creek Group Camping area. The 1.2 mile walk in was good. The kids lagged along at a slow pace but did...

So I'm introducing my 3 year old and 4 year old to Backpacking today! We're going to a State Park here in NC. We're only hiking in 1.2 miles to the campsite, camping 1 night, then hiking out. But...

Second that! Best AT book I've read. Also recommend Just Passin' Thru by Winton Porter...that's a good one to learn about the hiking community.

I'm not quite sure how you have a "RIGHT" to believe Christianity is false and you can express that belief...but those who believe it is true have no "RIGHT" to express their belief. It seems the...

The best thing about their policy is if you use the pack and decide you don't like it, they'll take it back and you can get something else...worth the extra cost IMHO.

They will take back Anything at Any Time for Any reason...just check out the garage sales and you'll see boots that were worn hundreds of miles. But that's taking advantage of the system. Just...

Don't know anything about Lyme, but know a lot about antibiotics. Antibiotics vary in dosage and duration based on their strength, the severity of infection, and the weight of the patient. Some...

There's a good article on Backpacker magazines website that has some good exercises.

I'll second that. I bought a pack that retails for $469 for $180 on eBay and it had been used one time. There were plenty of packs in your price range. I just needed this one b/c it was big enough...

Thanks a lot guys! We wouldn't be able to enjoy the trail without your service! Thanks again.

I've read a lot...just passin' thru and Becoming Odyssa were by far my favorites. I couldn't put Becoming Odyssa down. I read it in 3 or 4 days and I am NOT a reader.

I would have agreed until I read "Becoming Odyssa" That one quickly became my favorite. Also I agree with Muddy Waters...most of them are painfully boring. While I found the middle portions of...

Skyline...What is your asking price?
