It's been pretty dry in this area. I wouldn't count on having much water on day 1, including at Mollies Ridge. The camping area about 5 or 6 miles in may have water.

I had a buddy that was going to go along and provide shuttle service, but he backed out. I need a shuttle from Elkmont Campground to Clingman's Dome on either Friday or Saturday afternoon (8/5 or...

I recently bought a pair of Oboz Sawtooths. They are by far, the most comfortable shoes I've ever hiked in. They are lightweight, very breathable, have nice thick cushy soles with great traction,...

I purchased it new, from an Ebay store. Mine is the 800 down fill.

I just purchased a Big Agnes Zirkel bag a couple of months ago. I've slept in it a total of 7 nights. Early on, I noticed a few stray feathers. However, now there are feathers everywhere. I've...

I'm looking at Big Agnes Zirkel SL 20 degree bag. Can anyone tell me how accurate of a rating this is? I understand it all depends on the person using it, but I just don't want to be cold at 30F.

This is just terrible news. I gave him several rides on his 09 thru-hike and I have good memories of him. My heart is heavy.

I have one and it is a little on the big and bulky side....but wow..does it ever pump the water quickly. I also had an issue with it on my first trip. When I got back, I contacted the...

My soon to be nine year old son has done some day hikes with me, his longest hike being from Indian Grave Gap down to the Nolichucky (pretty much all downhill or flat for 8 miles). My good buddy is...

A Jetboil Flash. Can't wait to try it out.

I could help you on the 27th. The 26th is Thanksgiving.

Day 1 and 3, and 4 are all easy days. Day 2 is a tougher day but I did the exact same hike a few years ago and I was in pretty terrible shape.

I sectioned through the GSMNP this summer and it is the first time I wished I had gaitors. I like to get hiking early in the a.m. (notice my trail name), and although it was nice sunny day, my feet...

I can help you out.

I walked up the road to Beauty Spot from Indian Grave gap on Sunday afternoon. It was about 32 degrees and after about a mile up, the road was a solid sheet of ice. However, it is very warm today...

I think it was in 1983 when I was twelve years old. My family had moved from Indiana to Elizabethton, TN. My dad took my brother on an afternoon hike up to Laurel Falls. It was my first time...

yeah, but going the other way you've got the Roan balds....could maybe get to Kincora in 5-6 days.

Water may be a little slow, but I think you'll be fine in either direction.

I do the water bottle thing too, except I pulll one of my spare socks over the bottle. This keeps the bottle warm longer and it keeps the bottle from being too hot when I first put it in my sleeping...

No need for the bear spray. There has been a pesky little bear hanging around Cosby knob shelter, but he's small and you can take him. If you are heading NOBO, then make sure you bring plenty of...

I would say probably the teens....choosing a campsite isn't going to help you much...maybe a few degrees. I've never through hiked, but I've been out plenty during that time of year and I wouldn't...

In April of 2009, along with probably 40 thru hikers, I spent 2 nights in Hiawasee do to a snow storm. It was so cold that I don't think my 20 degree bag would have been good enough. I would have...

I can help you out. I sent you a pm.

I'm scared to death of heights. I couldn't go out on Charlie's Bunion. I started shaking I just grabbed hold of a rock and turned around. Just looking at the pictures of people sitting on McAfee...
