I have the SMD Lunar Solo, am a big guy, and have no problems whatsoever fitting all my gear inside. The only thing I keep outside in the vestibule are my shoes. I use a 3/4 length foam sleeping pad...

I have 15 miles until Delaware Water Gap. This section is notorious for few and far water sources. The heat has made it... interesting. Luckily all the rain earlier this month has meant no dry...

I'm a little over 4 months into my thru and I'm in Palmerton. Plan on hitting the big K around earlyish October. You could say I'm a flower smeller to be sure!

I am thru hiking right now with a Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo and a z-lite 3/4 length pad. Combined weight is a little over 2lbs I believe. The Lunar Solo is a great, very light tent and runs at...

How long is it running?

No, but like I said mine is a 3/4 length pad so it ready has a few less links than the normal z lite.

I had been strapping it to the top but found that doing this made it difficult to get solid rain cover coverage, so now I put it inside against my back. This doubles as extra frame support too. I...

As an FYI, I am flying home for my dad's wedding and a short break from my thru hike. I called TSA before heading to the airport and was informed that this new update to policy has been delayed, and...

At mile 317, the AWOL guide lists a Wolf Creek Market but has no details on its quality as a resupply. Has anyone used this or can anyone talk about how "good" of a resupply it is? I'm trying to...

Thanks very much, he is able to help us out. Much appreciated!

I'm in Franklin, NC right now letting some of the snow melt off the mountain today. We got off the trail at Mooney Gap, USFS 83 on Monday and are trying to get a ride back tomorrow morning, but we're...

Yikes, now everyone has me a little nervous for my March 11 start! I stayed pretty comfortable on a weekend 2 night shakedown hike in February with temps down to 20* both nights though.

Somebody over on reddit.com/r/appalachiantrail posted about a project they are working on that sounds very similar to this. Their website is wikitrail.org

I can't wait! 5 more days!

Beautiful pics by the way

Does the AT visit the summit of each of the Presidential mountains?

I don't have a fancy blog or anything, but I expect to be keeping up on my trail journal for the duration of my hike. www.trailjournals.com/BloodOrange

I thought about it, but I'm not sure i want to deal with the logistics. I'm leaving Amicalola March 11.

This is probably a stupid question, but is there a minimum number of rolls needed to keep a roll-top dry sack completely water proof?

What an absolutely wonderful program! A great initiative, I hope to meet the recipients on the trail.

For the approach trail just type in Amicalola Falls State Park. Not sure about Springer Mtn. access.

How do you pack your Circuit? For those who have one.

I am thru hiking this summer for the first time, so I can't speak from personal experience but AWOL of The A.T. Guide has basic plans on his website according to average miles a day.

According to...

Love this idea. I was planning on picking up some knock-off Crocs for my thru this summer, but these will weigh less and pack better. Nice!
