Keep your fuel canisters in your footbox of the sleeping bag... so you can still do a lot of this: https://youtu.be/ESFc2VvE2EM

This is on the BMT through the Citico Wilderness. I honestly believe it got warmer (inside the tent) as the inches began to pile up overnight. Morning was a beautiful winter wonderland -...

I was on the AT near Albert Mtn when last weekend's system blew through. The straight line winds rocked the shelters and stripped a number of limbs off trees. Mostly, though, the rain drenched...

Yeah, that could have turned bad. I was on the AT, near Albert Mtn when that system blew through. The straight line winds rocked the shelters and stripped a number of limbs of trees. Mostly,...

Ha! Love it!
Reminded me of when the REI shoe guy tried to tell me that wool socks won't stink. I should zip-lock my next pair, bring them in and let them do their Salute!

Congrats on this opportunity!!

A good stair-master climb is Amicalola with a full pack, or Albert mtn. Both worth it.

I hope you win the lotto!

I really enjoyed "Becoming Odyssa", thanks to this thread! Jenn Pharr Davis is a legend!

Karl and matthewski (legends in their own ways) finally brought some common sense to the discussion. Lighten up, less bureaucracy please.

Just Passin Thru, AWOL on the App Trail, A Walk in the Woods... just for starters.

I really enjoyed the approach trail, one of the largest waterfalls I've ever "climbed". Like others have said, "its a good way to find out what you can handle", before you get to Springer. Plus,...

SGT Rock,
I just wanted to say thanks for the signed copy of the Thru-Hikers guide! That was a neat surprise when I got it last week and quite unexpected.

I was already intrigued by the first four.

you can't shoot the AT? How come?

I think this is a partially fantastic idea. However, only my inner group of fine gentlemen or gentleladdies may be privy to such locations. I have a new project; thanks TallShark. Cheers.

Try adding a chicken bullion cube, gravy packet, and pepper. Extra calories = score!

+2 on the BS.

CousCous, you could have made a fortune here in Atlanta. Many of our interstates are still shut down due to lack of clearing - after 4 days!

In winter, don't fill your bottles completely up. Leave room for slosh to avoid freezing.

Those look terribly heavy.

LW, with all your miles under the bridge, do you carry a firearm?

Love the graphic. Yes, this is the most snow I've seen in many years.

10-K you crack me up!

You've invited the avalanche of opinions.

I say yes, use them with a heavier pack (35lbs +). Strain will be less on the knees going downhill, stability will be achieved over high water/snow/ice...
