Clear, so you can see what you're going for.

Nearly odor proof.

Waterproof.

Boom.

I'm of the opinion that you should eat as closely to your regular diet on trail as you do back home. You're expending a lot of energy, you are going to need some nutrition to go along with all the...

Forgot to add my trail name - Sonshine. Much love to Lucky.

This news truly, truly saddens my heart. I feel the need to chime in to offer a testament to the character and genuine good nature of Lucky 10. I had the pleasure of bumping into him and becoming...

I haven't read the whole thread but I thought I'd chime in with this:

there are 3 types of hikers attempting to get to Katahdin. The first kind never makes it, due to injury or a lack of will or...

In my opinion there is no need for a compression sack if you have a decent sleeping bag that naturally compresses...

Once you pile all your other belongings on top of your sleeping bag, it will...

Polechar - I loved my pack. The recommended max load is 45 lbs, but I would say you probably wouldn't want to carry more than 40 if you're looking for comfort. Personally I started out with a max...

You'll be facing some colder conditions than I did with a February start. In fact, I didn't even see snow once during my thru. I would suggest some fleece gloves, a puffy coat w/ a hood if you're...

I began my hike march 27, and my cold weather gear consisted of:

lightweight baselayer bottoms (marmot, picked them up cheap from Marshalls)
zipoff pants ($5 outlet sale)
lightweight smartwool T...

I started with a marmot precip jacket (no pants), but found it to get sticky and wet after prolonged rain. In NC I switched out to a cheap set of frog toggs, and I would recommend. They are only 20...

as far as the squeeze filter - I picked it up in PA, and flushed it ONCE between there and Maine... where I flushed it again right before heading into the 100mile. In my opinion, the need to flush...

Hey ya'll, glad to see there is some interest here and I am happy to answer. I forgot to mention my cook kit, which consisted of the snowpeak mini solo (.9L pot, small mug) and a trusty long-handled...

I'm going to be continuing to craft this, attempting to put it into an article, but for now here is some raw data on the gear I used and the food I ate on my thru-hike earlier this year. I'm hoping...

I would go to the hardware store and buy a garden hose O-ring to replace the white gasket/o-ring on the sawyer. The white one that comes with the filter dry-rots very quickly and you're SOL w/o it...

I used wordpress to host my blog, and their smartphone app on my phone. It was handy because you can save drafts with the app, then post them later in town. You can also post using 3G straight from...

You can knock off some quick weight by dropping the gloves and rain pants. I literally never wore my rain pants other than doing laundry in town during my thru-hike. Since you are already bringing...

by the end of this year's nobo season, I would say that nearly 50% of hikers were rocking the brooks cascadia. lots of folks ended up summitting in merrel moab vents, only because the on-trail...

Just thought I'd chime in as I thru-hiked this year (2012). Started in brooks cascadias, they were fine and lasted me about 500 miles. Switched gears just a bit, and grabbed a pair of montrail...

Obviously this is a matter of opinion here, so lets not start a war. I'm just wondering if a set of lightweight long johns will really be necessary for hiking in this year on a through hike of the...

Wondering what ya'll think of the MTR indian dishes. I have heard they are delicious, but at 10.5 oz a pop they are going to be riding a bit heavy in the pack. I am thinking of grabbing a few to mix...

Sounds like a plan... how is the parking situation as far as leaving cars for a few nights near buena vista? i see coordinates in my AT guide...

Hey folks,

I am thinking of trying to meet my girl on the trail for a 2 nighter near Glasgow and would love to hear from anyone who has been through the area on how pretty it is, spots to see,...

Hey just wanted to say thanks for the opinions and that I have decided on a pack (not a goLITE). Picked up a Deuter act zero 50+15 for a good deal from a local retailer, and I'm really happy with it...

I have been scouring the web for days without hitting on the knife that screams out "BUY ME, I AM PERFECT FOR YOU!", so I'd like to enlist the help of the knife loonies here on WB.

I'm looking for...

for those of you who have used these - do you notice a big difference in performance compared to using something like a fleece beanie? I have some of the material laying around and have thought...
