You are that someone from a different thread...I'm having trouble keeping track here lol

Also, back to the point of posting in this thread...what would your recommendation be for the temperature rating, given everything we've discussed?

I don't hate you. I recognize that the dog adds complications.

My attitude is that right now I'm a bit more transient and a bit less locked into a long-term job, so my timeline is a little more...

I lived in london for three years, and north carolina for about 6 months. Now that you mention it, when I came home for christmas it was about 60 and I was wearing shorts outside...

I've been looking at the sierra designs dridown. it's more expensive (by a frightening amount) but may solve the dog problem

how much warmth (if any), about, do you find it adds? bear with me please lol I'm from louisiana so cold isn't something I'm really used to dealing with when camping

I have, by some miracle, gotten him used to wearing toddler socks from walmart whenever he's in the tent. It's kind of unneccessary in the 6p coleman that I use when car camping with my boyfriend but...

based on this reasoning, would you say a 30 degree bag with long underwear would be appropriate in a tent?

reviews seem to say it's pretty great -- I don't pay full price for anything though!

I'm wondering if I could figure out a quilt setup where diesel is snuggled up with me -- it would simplify his...

just looked online a bit and realized I'm totally off the mark on what you meant by quilt...

also, I'll be in a tent

My dilemma is that I am ALWAYS cold. I'd rather err on the side of caution that way. I like the idea of the dri down -- especially since the AT is rather wet. Do you have any recommendations for a...

I've been told Salomon has a policy of replacing thru-hikers shoes for free. Doesn't solve your overall cash problem, but it's worth looking to in order to solve that specific problem.

try kicking your way out of stirrups while wearing a nice grippy pair of hiking boots though!

I'm thinking of purchasing the Sierra Designs Eleanor hi-19 dridown bag for a thru hike attempt -- has anybody used it/do any of y'all have any thoughts?

PM me! i'd love to have someone to at least start with!

thanks everyone -- i think ill probably try out the seresto collar, possibly combined with nexguard

I was thinking late march but I'm pretty flexible!

I usually just start it behind my head and then move it round to the side once i get to a point where I can...I don't know why but it always turns into a tangled knotted mess

I use a pretty basic face wash (kiehls ultra face cleanser) with a clarisonic brush, and then moisturizer with sunscreen in the morning and a retinoid moisturizer product at night. and i do the...

I will be hiking with my dog, and plan to start out fairly slow.

I feel your pain so much! I have toothpick calves and if I find a pair of riding-style boots that don't have a 2 inch gap behind my calf I buy them on the spot, no questions asked, in every color....

I'm planning on avoiding town as much as possible for financial reasons, I know it'll be tough but it's a much better option than mooching off other hikers or having to leave early...which I realize...

but really that camp chair is the first thing i throw in the canoe when I don't have to carry all my nonsense on my back...so luxurious i love it

I'm one of those people who has perfectly nice skin provided I wash it every morning and night reliably, but who breaks out into a nasty mess if I miss even one day. Do any of y'all have thoughts on...
