Iron Mountain gap to 19E is a good take your time three day hike and you get to go over Roan mountain. I am thinking of this hike over Labor day myself.
You can use Luna monos as a camp shoes, but i use them to hike in during summer. At 9oz a pair they are not the lightest, but they sure feel good on your feet.

Can't go wrong with the IMUSA 10cm or 12cm cook pots. Priced is right, Lightweight, simple and can take a beating. I got a lid for it from Mini bull.
I use the Zpack Blast food bag. Love the...
I would not park your car overnight a Carver's gap. Lots of break ins there. I would park at the Mountain Harbor bed and breakfast hostel on 19E. Abourt 14 trail miles north. They also shuttle.
I have the same problems talked about above. For me it will last for 3-4 days. I know exercise and heat suppress the apatite, but i think a lot of it too, is just anxiety of being out on the trail....
I like the Zpacks cuben fiber blast food bag. Water proof light and a good size for about 5 days food. Most dry sacks are tall and skinny, but he Zpack food bag/dry sack is short and wide. It...
I seen a red fox with two little ones. The little ones were playing and rolling in the leaves. I sat and watched them for 10 min. before they made there way down the hill and out of sight. It was...
Cool idea scrubs. Thanks for posting.
+1 I really like mine so far! Only had it a few weeks.
Durability is something i question every time i buy new gear. I have not put the pack through the ropes yet, but it seams that it would hold well for a lightweight pack. I would not abuse it as...
I have not seen the Aquilo other then pictures and it does look very big! With the gear you have i think you will be fine. It's all in how you pack it, too. I packed and repacked mine many...
I had the same dilemma when getting my Kalais. I was surprised at the size of the Kalais when i got it. Much larger then i was thinking. The Aquilo would have been way to large for me. If you...
Check into the Zpacks quilt. They even sell quilts for two. There 40 degree quilt for two is less then 20oz.

I got mine last Tuesday! I love the pack, so far! Very well put together! I took it out for a 6 mile day hike (just to see how I like it) loaded down with about 25 pounds and it road great! I had...
Lightheart Duo 32oz and 40 square feet of room on the inside.
I have a Lightheart Duo now for almost a year. I have spent around 25 nights in it on the trail. In that amount of time I have went through 2 major thunderstorms with high winds, heavy rains and...
Thanks everyone for the help!
I am starting one of my fall section hikes this Saturday from Damascus to fox creek. I have everything planed out and ready to go, but I don't really want to stay at the Thomas Knob shelter. I want...
I would also look at the Elemental Horizons pack line. A rather new company, but are getting great reviews. I would look at either the Aquilo (around 60L) or the KaLais (around 50L) as there best...
Great.............
I am thinking of hiking this over Labor day weekend. It would be Sunday and Monday, but i would hike Sunday to Doll flates and camp there.
I was up there last weekend and around 1/2 were ripe.
Lightheart gear duo +1
I have the duo and it's a great tent. Go for the wedge well worth the extra 1 oz plus 1oz pole, so 2oz total.
I have the WM Summerlite and it's the best bag i have ever owned. It compresses down to around 4" x 5". When the bag is laid out and fluffed up it’s really hard to believe it was compress so small....
