Anyone have recommendations for the best guide and maps to acquire for the AZT? Thanks!
I'm looking for advice on affordable health insurance that will save me from going bankrupt, in the unlikely event of getting sick or injured on the trail. Any suggestions/info would be appreciated....

http://Www.takeatrek.comI'm attempting to keep an active trail journal, throughout my CT hike. If interested, it's the link above.
Are there any other love journals that any knows of? Love to...
Hey guys,
Looking for some input on the CT. Should I bring a mosquito net and spray in July/August, or no? Thanks!
Everyone says there are 8 mountain ranges that the CT passes through, but I can't seem to find a definite list of them anywhere. This seems a bit bizarro to me. Front Range, Sawatch Range, and San...
I'm torn between carrying Eric the Black's pocket atlas or the Ct Data Book for my thru-hike. I used Black's atlas for the JMT last year and it worked well with the Harrison maps. Has anyone used...
I'll most likely be leaving happy isles on Thursday...
I'm wondering how necessary it will be to carry bug spray and/or a bug net for my head? I hate to add any more weight to my pack with something that may use very infrequently, if at all. However, I...
Im interested in a GPS app for the JMT that I can download onto my iphone 4. It's my understanding that there are certain apps that can be used without needing and internet or satellite connection,...
Can anyone explain the walk-in permit policy from happy isles? I would like to begin my JMT hike in July, and I've recently come to realize that a reserved permit needs to be set up 24 weeks in...
Thanks guys. Lots of good stuff here.
I'm looking for your opinions on the best guide book to start researching a JMT thru hike with.
You can meet me while you're eating my dust
Fancy feast cat stove is da Shiz nit
1. No underwear is a terrible idea, unless you want your sweaty "stuff" bouncing around into your thighs all day. Such a terrible idea. Terrible, terrible, terrible idea.
2. Exofficio Boxer Briefs...
I made a stove out of a fancy feast cat can that weighs .2oz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pajkt594Ruw.
Dude, that's less than the weight of a lighter.
I'm wondering what type of footwear would be best to start my thru hike with. I plan to begin in mid to late March, so I'm sure there will be some snow and plenty of mud to follow. I have a pair of...
I'm not sure what your physical condition is, or what kind of knowledge you have about backpacking, but what you are proposing to do sounds a little crazy. I recommend getting all of your gear...
Duct tape is the obvious, simple, and economical answer to this question. Not sure why it's not working for you. Try using two pieces, one on the inside and one on the outside, of equal size. That...
sweet. Thanks, guys.
Does anyone know when the 2013 ALDHA Thru Hiker Companion comes out? Thanks!
I used the Osprey 70 for a Long Trail thru-hike this summer (272 miles). The pack was waaaay to big for my needs. I would cut down to a 50L.
