Another vote for the Lightheart Solo. Sets up in about 1 minute, lightweight, packs small, tons of room inside and headroom, reliable in all weather.
I bought a Lightheart Solo in Franklin, NC early on in my 2009 thru hike.
The tent has weathered everything! wind, rain, snow. The bathtub floor worked great - I never had any "splashing" in even...
I second the Canon 5D Mark II but not for backpacking! - too heavy, bulky.
I really like the Canon Powershot cameras for hiking. Light, cheap, good image quality and most allow for control of...
Anytime is the right time!
I have been a long time fan of Arcteryx gear for their quality. I have never had a problem with any of their stuff. The Bora 95 I bought ? 10 or so years ago still looks new and it has been used...

Stewball touched a lot of people. He will be missed.
His "Hannah Montana Hiking Tip" journal entries were genius and his sense of humor was incredible.
I have a few and in 2009 I found the Lightheart. I thru hiked with it and it was perfect. What I like most about it is that it's a double wall..the fly can be rolled up which is really nice when...
Biggest Dumbest thing I ever carried......DEBT!
I'll be there.
~ rooms left ?:rolleyes:
Will there be some AV stuff in Relia's for a slideshow from a laptop or a DVD ? I'll put together some slideshows.
Once this holiday thing is over I'll...

Opps. Forgot to mention the book!
Tim Homan's..HIKING TRAILS OF THE JOYCE KILMER-SLICKROCK & CITICO CREEK WILDERNESSES.
Excellent book with detailed trail descriptions, maps, history etc.

Joyce Kilmer/Slickrock Creek and Citico Creek Wildernesses have some excellent trails. You will love this place!
If you're planning on 15-18 mile days you can cover the entire area in a couple...
Where? Snickers....show me the Snickers!
Cheese! Good to see you on WB!
how big is the dog?
I saw a new tent last year during my thru hike and bought one..it's been (for me) the best piece of gear I've purchased. I'm a gear junkie and that is saying a lot!...
I've never had a problem parking at Newfound. Bears have broken into cars that had food in them and dirtballs have broken into cars in the park. It's a rare thing but it does happen. Newfound Gap...
A hiker is a hiker and the trail family extends to those who provide services along the trail. I don't think that there's some sort of strange buffer anywhere along the Appalachian Trail that makes...
:rolleyes: Kudos to Leprechaun for finding us just such a spot this year. We come from all over the country and view Trail Days as a reunion. We were in tent city, didn't bother anybody and no one...
I used a Lightheart for the vast majority of my thru hike last year. I took my time seam sealing it and it wasn't all that bad. As for the wind, I had the same thoughts and impressions that you...
Have you looked at Jack's R Better quilts? or a Reactor Liner?
I have a few in my gallery in GSMNP from March this year and April last year. If you find something that fits, feel free to use it.
Go with what you have. If and when you decide that there needs to be a change made you can pick up a light summer bag at an outfitter along the trail. Updated and new gear goes on the market all...
