Any recent thoughts on resupply at NOC? Their website doesn't give much info...
Don't know if this will help, but I've sectioned 400+ miles of the trail and have only met guys who were respectful and seemed decent. No one has scared me. Most will just smile or say hi, and I...
Do you know what year/version of the Moment this is? Moment DW? Thanks!
Looking for a partner for this section! I'm a fairly independent hiker so like to hike by myself during the day, but it is nice to know that someone else will be at your camp at the end of the...
Wow, I haven't found that to be true. I don't see many phones in camp-- I was out for 10 nights this year and the thruhikers talked, cooked dinner together around the table, chatted around the fire....

There's some sort of chocolate one with chocolate icing-- those are the ones I usually get for my hike. I don't eat pop tarts any other time, though!
Bump...need to sell so I can do my AT section this year. :)
Price lowered to $225. Great tent!
Lightheart Gear Duo for sale, asking $225.
Bought from someone who never used it in 2011. I’m selling to finance my next section of the AT :) Nice tent, but I don’t need a Duo (I have a Solo...
Oh, and regarding pack weight...I started with a Golite Jam, a very lightweight pack. I now use a pack about a pound heavier than that-- but it fits me better and is more comfortable. So, a more...
That's not unreasonable for a Big 3 number. I would wonder... what else do you have in that pack?
Other than my big 3, my other stuff:
sleeping pad and pillow, 20 oz
kitchen stuff, water...
I use the scissors in my little swiss army knife, so I don't have to carry anything extra.
Thermarest, Sawyer mini, and stakes are all spoken for!
Sorry, ETA price on the thermarest- $20. For both sets of stakes, the weight listed is the total weight.
Well, since I can’t go backpacking right now, decided to clean out the gear closet and sell off some extra items.
Grease Pot, lid w/ handle. New, never used.

That's what I've been using for chicken on the trail. It's a good size, and I don't think the can weighs very much.
My average speed is one mile per hour when I'm going uphill-- two miles per hour downhill or on level ground (not much of that on the AT).
I'm in okay shape (don't really exercise other than...
I'm not in ministry, but my relationship with God is essential. I section hike but have a few possibilities:
- I either carry a pocket NT or print my daily bible reading
- I have one piece of...
Looks yummy, thanks for sharing!

For sale
Golite Jam Women's pack, Large, in cornflower blue
Purchased in 2012 and was the previous year's model.
I think golite no longer sells this pack-- they only sell unisex packs.
I've...
I don't have a dog, I don't like dogs, but when I was on a backpacking trip, someone else's dog ripped through the screen in my tent and then left lots of little claw holes over two sides of the...
