Check out the Zpacks arc blast. For the 50L it only comes in at 16.5 oz and has a hydration port just not a bladder sleeve like the ULA and other packs have. Also it can only handle loads up to 30...
For me personally I felt a lot better after switching from my big Vasque boots that could handle any type of beating to a lighter pair of trail runners. I never really realized how heavy they were on...
I use both the Zpacks fleece liner mitts and the cuben fiber rain over mitts as well. I was initially considering the MLD rain mitts but when I saw they didn't come seam sealed standard I went with...
+1 on that. What I did was cut off the neck strap and left a little loop on it which I then used one of those yellow water bottle holders that come on ULA packs that are a bungee like cord that works...
I use a Nikon Coolpix AW110, it has all the features of an outdoor camera like waterproof, shock proof up to a certain height, dust proof, won't shut off in freezing temps( although it does take a...
Another vote for the Dirty Girl Gaiters. I'll be using them on my upcoming thru.
Hey fellow Baltimorean! Worst case if you really can't find anyone check out the REI events, timonium is probably the closest to you but on their site they have all the locations. The only caveat...
Brooks Cascadia's are awesome shoes! I finally just stopped wearing my 7's when I bought my new pair of 9's. The 7's had virtually no break in time and I got absolutely no blisters on any backpacking...
I think he was using the NeoAir XLite
When you think you've heard it all...
Check out Zpacks that have some really light/roomy tents.
Hiking 2,185 miles is easy, it's that extra 9 miles that gets ya! :D I'm including the approach in my thru hike this year, the experience is worth it.
I was in no way telling people how to live, if you paid as much attention to fully reading and understanding the context of a post as opposed to grammar that might help a bit. I was simply making an...
So I work at a small cafe in a hospital which often gets confused with ours in cafeteria to guests first entering the hospital. We have a very small selection for actual food (small salads, cold...
I'm not sure what it's called but it was the parking lot/fee station off of Weakely Hollow Rd from 643.
I've done Old Rag a few times and that is hands down my favorite hike close to home. With traces if snow and ice still I opted out for the Cedar Run/White Oak Loop in Shenandoah, still pretty icy,...
It looks like it's going to be a pretty nice day out tomorrow and wanted to get in a good day hike. Do any of my East Coast friends have a favorite hike they like that would be within a three hour...
I'm doing some prep videos and plan on uploading throughout my hike.

I don't think you would have too much luck with a solar charger, rather look into an external charging device such as the NewTrent products. I use the iTorch and can get 2-3 full charges on my phone...
Thanks a bunch ChinMusic I just got the ANYCASE in the mail today and it's exactly what I was looking for. You saved me a bunch of trial and error!
Something like how your camera is on your trekking pole with the stick pic is what I was looking for but with an iphone instead.
Pretty much for taking pictures and maybe even attempt to do the whole video update thing. With using my phone I won't be tied down to seeking out libraries or wifi connections when I can simply...
I would like to find a way to mount my iPhone 5 with lifeproof case and wasn't quite sure how to go about it so I figured somebody on here has done it before. Would I use a regular iPhone tripod...
Just got done watching all of them and it was awesome of you to put that together! Definitely shows the real stuff that happens on the trail opposed to the usual slide show thru hike videos. Nicely...
