its probably ambitiously rated, i might switch for a better bag, but i have a fleece liner as well for inside, and some under armor coldgear for bed. also i sleep warm, i usually have to sleep with...

Im sleeping in a tent, ill be wearing my base layers and wool socks to sleep with a wool cap. and the bag has a draft collar and a fleece lined hood. so what do you think?
yayy, lol. im so excited for the adventure, an change in weather and scenery, i cant even imagine, it should be a dream in waking life. :) and i just ordered Yogi's Book, thanks BrianLe
all i needed to know, thank you. will i still get to see plenty of snow heading NOBO
also, how hard is it to navigate if i go SOBO starting in April. if I need to work on my map skills, ill need to start ASAP.
I was going to hike the AT this summer, but after much research i feel the PCT is more my style. My question is whether i should hike NOBO or SOBO. I havent done a long hike like this before, i am in...
worst case scenario, i can ditch the wood stove, as it is basically free.
i dont think i can get away with the woodstove the whole trip, so well see.
i think i will keep the cheaper canister stove, with a 4oz can(just in case i need to cook inside during poor weather, or a bad day) but i think im gonna go with a woodburner for my main stove, so i...
So would all agree that a cheap canister stove is the best bang for your buck. It appears that alcohol are the cheapest, but almost double the required fuel, so it adds weight and in the long run can...
i think i just got caught up in the hype of a Jetboil, the convenience is nice, but not paying an extra $55.
awesome thanks for the tip. i just got a deal on amazon. a primus type canister stove for $15 with 2 8oz canisters for only $10 more.
has anyone used this type of type for a thru-hike or at all. i know its a pound(ish) heavier than the Jetboil i have, but any pros or cons would be apprecaited. I was thing o getting one of these as...
I was NOT "trolling" ughh typos
Again everyone, i feel i need to address a few things. I seem to have stuck my foot in my mouth in a few ways.
I do not "demand" respect for my military service, i just wanted to use it as a point...
I appreciate your input, and to address a few things quickly.
I have full health insurance
I have antibiotics in the event that i do contract a bacterial infection, viral would be a different story...
I must say that i am impressed, and i am sorry TOMP, i didnt mean to say all of that as a quote, i meant to quote you and add to it with my own worlds, i apologize. And sorry to everyone else, i...
and no this wasnt a troll, i havent a clue who JAK is. I did not mean to state that i only possessed $1,000.00 just that it was my budget. I apologize for any confusion on that front. Also, i have...
Everyones cynicism and prejudice towards me(an American veteran) i honestly find disgusting, as i thiought this was a group of intelligent, warm-hearted, kind, open-minded individuals. I must say...
what would you guys say are the most important pieces of equipment that i should skimp on the least. In my opinion i "spent" on my pack, tent, boots, and a UV purifier for my water. the rest is gonna...
alright, ill keep it then and just bring aqua mira in case, thanks guys.
lol, ive actually gained about 20-25 pounds of body fat in advance for fuel. and i plan to hike in about 4 months, so yeah around 120 days. but i might be able to squeeze a few hundred more dollars...
I know that it isnt a big budget, but i have amazing willpower, i had to eat through a straw once for 2 months and lost 35 pounds, and i survived that. i have my gear but my budget for the hike is 1...
i bought a steripen classic, should i keep it or send it back and save the $70 and use aqua mira
i'm on the fence with these two. Can i use the JetBoil as a simple stove for pots. Also What do you guys think about the Brunton Primus Micro. Im so lost, also is the fuel canisetr interchangeable on...
