I didn't think this would be a very popular post but take it easy. I found some utility in this app since I hike with my wife now and we both have an iDevice. The effect is cool but that is all. I...

I have this apple app called "Stereo Speakers" on two iPad2's running ios 5 and it works great to make a much larger stereo sound out of two idevices connected through bluetooth or wifi. Might be...

Perfect. I just wish it came in banana flavor. Or maybe bubble gum.

Thanks everyone who's commented so far. It's given me some food for thought. Probably I will end up taking the stove after all. I guess if it was easy to go stoveless then everybody would be doing...

I've searched the forums a bit, but can't find any threads that have answered this question for me. I'll be setting off on a 2008 AT thruhike in the next few weeks and am interested in ditching my...

The baby taylors weigh in at around 2 and a half pounds. I can't remember is that is with or without strings. I'm looking to carry a guitar too. I just wish that taylor made a nylon string model. ...

Me too. I should be out there hiking in 2006 if all goes as planned. It'll be here before you know it.

Wolvie, good luck on your backpacking trip. A few long hikes go a long long way towards...

If I ever have to do another z-transform again it'll be too soon. Ahhh, grad school. It's nice to know that there are other engineers out there that are addicted to the AT too.

You're all...

I used one of those poker visors (just the brim of the hat with a strap). It worked like a charm and let my head breathe a bit.

September of this past fall I took my first step on the AT just south of the Inn at Long Trail in Vermont on my way up to the top of Killington. 50 miles later I still wanted to do the whole thing. ...

A cheap pair of biker shorts worked for me too. The chafing went away completely.

Over the summer I was at a tenting site along the AT at little rock pond in Vermont and the caretaker told me that fisher cats will chase porcupines high up onto a tree until they fall. A porcupine...

I was lucky enough not to have any problems when I set up my tent near the shelter. Although I could tell that people partied there on a regular basis. And the burned out car on the forest road...

the mini gets a thumbs down from me. it is small for a filter, but about 3 or 4 times slower and harder to pump than the slightly larger filters that I've tried. The mosquitos really had time to...

I have put in about 200 miles on my P2 so far. Very happy with it. The option for converting the top lid (optional) and hip belt into a daypack has been very useful. The hip belt pockets are the...

I bought a pair of the mesh shoes for a week long hike on the Northville-Placid trail. They weigh next to nothing, are comfortable, and the mesh holds the sole to your foot very well. The problem I...

do a search on whiteblaze on lyme disease and you should see a few rather long ongoing posts on ticks.

I've had a P2 pack for a couple months so far. It's a great pack. The hip pockets are super convenient. And like DJE said, the side hydration pockets are hard to reach with the pack on, but it's...

My thru isn't until 2006 and I'm already antsy! I envy you all. The anticipation is a great feeling though. I hope you all have a great time out there...
