Thanks all! We tried the Harrison Hills segment this past weekend, wait for things to dry out is RIGHT! Wowzer!!! 40 inch deep standing water 0_o . (did nothing to make the mosquitos better) ....
Thanks, Wisscy! I'll check out that facebook page :)
Hey whiteblazers!
I moved to Wisconsin about a year ago, and have just started hiking on the IAT. My wife and I have been out a bunch of times recently and I starting to love the IAT, but we're...
However, if you haven't done much backpacking, go for a shakedown for a week or so before committing to a full thru hike. A long distance hike is, well... a long distance hike. It isn't similar to...
I've actually met a lot of people in the same situation. On my thru in 2009, I know several parents who were thru hiking. Granted, some of them ended up quitting because they missed their kids, or...
The tarptent has been sold, thanks all!
Also, this is a fantastic tent- the only reason I'm selling it is that I'm marrying my hiking partner, and she and I need a two person tent from now on :)
Hey y'all! I'm selling my Tarptent Notch- it is almost brand new, I've used it twice. It's seam-sealed and beautifully kept. I love it, but I don't need so many solo tents, and want to spring for...
I have one, will message!
This is a GREAT sleeping bag for car camping and shorter hikes. It's got a super cool footbox that unzips to cool down your feet, it's beautiful, and I have never ever used it. Selling it on here...
Thunder shirt, cool! Never heard of it, but I'll look into it, thanks!
Thanks all, for the advice- as long as I'm with her (so far) she won't run away... she just shakes like a leaf and I have a...
Hey all, so I plan to start doing overnight hikes with my golden retriever- we day hike all the time, and I think she's ready to be introduced to sleeping in a tent. (Nothing crazy long, just a...
Or from Asheville to Hot Springs?
I don't really drink coffee for the caffeine as much as the taste and experience. Nothing is better than waking up to a beautiful morning (or a rainy damp and dreary morning) and making a cup of hot...
I don't use instant on trail- I make regular coffee and carry coffee grounds.
I just cook everything in my pot, and I don't use soap to clean until I get to a town for a resupply. In winter I scrub it with snow, all other times I just use water and a bandana (pine needles...
Hey y'all, is anyone driving in the direction of Hot Springs from Charlotte, NC? My friend and I are coming down to do a section, and we're hoping to get a ride. There's a greyhound to Asheville,...
She's got a good attitude, but attitude is no where near enough to keep ya warm at night. :/
I know!! I wasn't concerned until recently- she and I were talking about temps and she said "but even if it gets chilly, this bag'll be fine, right?" Not if ya want to avoid hypothermia and get...
Hey y'all, I'm heading down to Hot Springs to start a NoBo five week section in early April, and I'm trying to convince my friend (who is joining me for the beginning) that a 55 degree sleeping bag...
Do whatever floats your boat. I skipped it because I started my (intended) thru on a snowy as heck and icy day, and the awesome guy who dropped us off at Springer offered to take us to the summit on...
I almost always wear suuuuper thin long johns (thicker in winter) because I tend to sweat if there's nothing between my skin and my bag. And it keeps my bag cleaner. But I can't stand liners, they...
Wayne, I learned the hard way not to ditch my spikes before I know for sure there's no more winter ahead! :rolleyes:
That's plan B :)
