Just throwing my name into the mix. I thru-hiked the Florida Trail in 2009 and the AT in 2013, the guy that I finished hiking with (from Dalton, MA to Baxter) is going to be thru-hiking the CDT with...

Hello all,

Let me give the skinny, myself and two other NOBOs (OB and Danno) are in Rutland, VT and staying at the Yellow Deli. We've been discussing it a bit over the last few days and we've...

Thanks for the input guys, I ended up getting the NB Minimus. Got them for 70 bucks cause my buddy works at the store. They're only 3.3 oz and I figure they have the lightness (lighter actually) of...
