Thanks HOOP. that is very helpful.
This was quite helpful. Thank you for your help.
Planning a section in late April and need info on shuttles from Newfound Gap to one of three possible take out points as follows... Max Patch, Lemon Gap or Hot Springs. Trying to nail down some...
I was thinking of the Citadel Sp;read while reading this whole thread, but if I remember correctly, that also contained bacon grease. I think I am going to have to try this Moose Goo.
I have been toying with the idea of making my own meals in a freezer bag. This has been a helpful thread for ideas of how to fix various meals.
I have been using my Etowah alcohol stove for five years now, but wondered if the jet boil would be better. Then I checked the weight of each with the fuel and found that the alcohol stove was more...
Which one was the pop tart and which one was the home made apple pie? I have started trying the backpackers pantry foods and find them to be very tasty too.
All very good info. I think I will have to add hard cheese to my next hike menu.
Though I have been known years ago to have tasted dog biscuits, I would be hard pressed to carry any kind of pet food on the trail unless my pet were along to consume it. Especially after the last...
from the sound of the story, the man had used that same spot before and marked it well then too. As for the carnival ride below, I would dub it the "carnivor" ride. Not my idea of a fun time.
Thanks Stir Fry and Skid... I will look into both of the options. I appreciate the input.
I meant a seven day section hike....
May plan on staying in Hot Spring for a night or two after a two day section hike and wondered where is the best place to stay? There will be three or four of us going, so splitting a room helps.
GSMNP is a great pick. It would take some moving though. Great areas to see beautiful views. If it is a little too far, you can split it in half...Fontana to Newfound Gap and then complete the...
There is a section in the southern half of the GSMNP...I think Gregory Bald that I feel puts Blood Mt at the bottom of the heap for views...not to mention the Whites and various other locations. The...
what is the best shuttle service to use for this section? If you had your choice, would you stay in Gatlinburg after hiking or Hot Spring?
I had planned on section hiking the AT and invited a friend to hike with me the first year. I had picked a name out so I would not be dubbed with an unwanted name....well, he quickly dubbed me with...
Stayed at Derrick Knob in early may and had a visit similar to this at about 840pm. I tried to get ;photos but the flash was off and when I got it turned on, all I got was the eyes. He was about 15...
I was wondering about that too. thanks for the insight.
I met a guy named Likely at Siler Bald Shelter in 2010 and did not get his contact info. He said he was given the name because if something bad was going to happen, it was LIKELY going to happen to...
I hiked that area early May and saw only one bear, but there were other hikers who I met who had seen numerous bears and two guys who were hiking together when a bear reared up on its rear haunches...
Nto exactly where I want to face a bear.
Thanks for the info... I may look into this.
When I hike in my waterproof boots, my feet are as wet at the end of the day as if I had been walking in rain from sweat. So the question is...Is it worth hiking in non-waterproof boots for the...
I had friends of mine hike with a dog and it was fine until it rained and the dog was awful smelly in the tent. I guess you have to decide if the wet dog odor and the wet fur is worth putting up...
