Thank you everyone for the input. I put together an extremely conservative schedule that averages just over 9 miles per day. Thought I'd stretch it out since I have all week. If I get to Damascus...
I'm doing a section hike in a couple of weeks and am trying to determine a realistic daily mileage on the section from 19E, just north of Roan Mtn/Overmountain, in to Damascus. I believe it's just...
Trail Name: None
Direction: Nobo
Start Date: March 11
Approach Trail: No
Any Additional Info: My brother and I will be hiking the trail together.
I'll be 44 next year when I start my hike. I have a career, however I'm single and have no kids. I work entirely way too many hours averaging 55 to 60 a week. Life is passing me by so I'm going. ...

I forgot to mention one of my favorite gifts, red Alabama duct tape. Gonna wrap my BD's with it, so much better than plain silver.
I'm not a thru hiker, gonna make that trek in 2014 and plan on taking my pocket rocket. I've used it on all my backpacking trips so far and very satisfied with it. I figure if it ain't broke, don't...
I am by no means a pole snob (snicker snicker), however I am completely happy with my BDs. They were a life saver for me hiking over rocks. They deflected a couple of times when I about went down...
437 days and counting. Just a few gear tweaks between now and then and a whole lot of hiking.
Sea to Summit Reactor sleeping bag liner, Petzl Tikka Plus 2 headlamp, Swiss Army SD pocket knife, wool socks and a couple more caribiners.
Amazon wish lists work good with my family. We can all see each others and receive a gift that is something we pick for ourselves. I love it, I don't have to leave the house to go shopping for them.

I went with Double Wide today and spent my way to saving 38 ounces. Gonna head out this weekend with the new toys.
Well my secret is out of the bag. I was secretly planning to go in 2014 and surprise my brother, Double Wide a month or so before he left. Thought I'd make it "official" now and utilize all the...
One of my favorites is cheesy mashed potatoes with some pepperoni slices thrown in. Good stuff there.
Yes, you have to have the watch off for 10 to 15 minutes to get an accurate temp.
4 in 1 watch with one of the features as a thermometer. No extra gear required to carry either.
The day I get fired.
My brother has that exact same tent and got a different one because he said that was too hot. Not sure if that helps or not but that was his observation.
Hiking related items included Atech watch (barometer, compass, altimeter, thermometer), Dri Ducks poncho, MSR pack towel, steripen, another Nalgene bottle, deet, day hike lumbar pack and a few other...
I always park further away then most people. It has nothing to do with liking to walk but it is due to the fact my truck is so big. I also think its no big deal to park do far away since you're going...
Second that on Savage Gulf. Spent a week out there this summer and only saw two people the whole time. Water can be an issue sometimes so check with the rangers when you get there. Great hiking...
He was trying to be funny. Dick's Gap.
I'd hit Savage Gulf. I spent a week there this summer and can't wait to go back.
