I have several tarps.
It's nearly impossible to say which is "best" because it depends on the situation.

Just FYI,......I'm still liking my Silky 'Big Boy.'
Another great trip report, Walter.
David and I just got back from our 34th year trip. We humped it up Brush Mountain again.
There are several nasty blowdowns clogging up that trail, and were it...

I know this place. I stumbled into it after temporarily getting off the trail.
I stirred up a...
Another fine report, Tipi.
Pending my move to Tellico in a couple months I expect to run into you a little more often.
Maybe a LOT more often. :D
I'm so glad to see the drought is over. I was just out in the Citico earlier this week and am happy to report that Slickrock, Little Slickrock, Doublecamp Creek, Citico Creek, were all running fast...
Very nice, Patman!
Another good year in the woods.
How are those Zamberlan boots holding up?
I've had mine for about 5 years without problems but I'm curious of your experience because I know you put a lot more miles on them than I do.
This COULD make sense if they made it easy to buy an extra pair of liners.
But I don't see that option listed anywhere.
It may also be possible to put this boot on over a pair of neoprene socks...

CONCUR!
I've been out West. I've been North. I've been South.
My favorite place in the world is Citico/Slickrock/Joyce Kilmer. If I choose to go there again and again I don't see why anyone...
No, I don't think so. But,....I have a plan. I'm looking to relocate to somewhere between Tellico Plains and Chattanooga in the near future. I'm going to get serious about catching up.
For sure, Bob Stratton "liked his neighbors distant and his weather brisk."
You covered a lot of ground on this trip!
I did 54A north, Cherry Log Gap to the Bob back in April. It wasn't bad then.
Not endangered except by humans and hogs. Wild boar (non-native) will kill and eat them. Some say that the instinct to rattle a warning is being bred out of the rattlers. Rattling gets them killed.
I'd imagine the TWRA biologists are involved with counting and raising the critters. My question is why would they release them all in one place rather than scattering them around the whole area?
We ran into forest service employee Robert Thomas last year who told us that they had just released a bunch of snakes into the area. I forget the exact numbers but I remember the general scope. ...
We ended up not following the original planned route. Dave's gout problem seriously trimmed our trail miles.
But no worries. At our age we were content to take it easy. Some days we only moved a...
Sorry we missed you on the trail. When we talked as you were waiting for pickup I thought we had been ahead of you coming down the South Fork. But after seeing the time stamp on your photos I now...
Been there; done that. In this very spot.
Stalled in the heath bald on Hangover Lead in a storm was one of my most frightening experiences in 35 years of backpacking.
No quick bail out in either...
When you go up the trailhead only about a couple hundred yards you'll come to a trail intersection. Turn LEFT. It will wind around and switchback up to "Butt Rock."
You'll know it when you see it....
Well,....it took me three and a half months to get back up there to pick up my saw.
There is some surface rust but I think I can clean it up. It was fairly well protected under that big rock. It...
The ramen sold in typical American grocery stores is crap!
But you can get good quality ramen (without MSG!) from Korean/oriental markets. There simply is no comparison.
True. But we are smack dab in Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever territory.
RMSF can be some bad news.
