WB is like brushing one's teeth. Some floss before they brush, some after they brush, some not at all. Some use electric, some use manual. Some use hard bristles, some use soft. Some brush five times...

Read the book first ... then saw the movie ... enjoyed both because they were just someone's story. I like to hear people's stories because there are usually a thought or two from which I can learn.

Generally, if my feet are warm and my head is warm, I'm pretty much warm ... I usually put on a 2nd pair of socks and wear a capilene with a hoody and I'm good ... at least until I remember to put my...

I was there a year ago (June 2013) and didn't see/hear any critters except pigs. The cable system was working well and neither mice, squirrels, bears, nor pigs got to my food. There was water in...

What SH said above about getting a pack that fits. That's one of the most important things you can do. I have a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2. It's really a 1.5 person tent, but my wife and I slept in it a...

I have a Rainbow ... I like it.

NFG to IceWater shelter was my first trip on the AT ... in 1957 ... different shelter, obviously ... the Jumpoff is a nice side trip ... and Mt. Cammerer is well worth the trip ... however, this...

mountaincrossings posted a picture of Lumpy on their Instagram account today (10/30) ... good to see him again

Stayed in the hostel in June ... it was a bit scruffy after all of the NoBos had been through, but as has been said, a seriously good respite from the trail. Pirate cooked pancakes for breakfast....

What Muddy said ... I've worn liner socks and socks and didn't get blisters; I've worn thick wool socks and no liners and didn't get blisters; I've worn thin socks and no liners and didn't get...

I wish ... right now I have to drive 2 hrs to get to the trailhead ... there are closer places, but none in which I can escape ...

Always make sure you feel more like you do now than you did yesterday at the same time ...

Oh, wait ... moving a snake off the trail is a problem? I've moved dozens of snakes off the trail in the Sipsey Wilderness in northern Alabama. I didn't realize I was violating some code of the woods...

Yeah, what HB said is more accurate ... I was just thinking about the fly and poles ...

Big Agnes FlyCreek UL2 fits two 20-inch pads and slept comfortably on the Timberline Trail in Oregon. It ain't roomy, but it's only 20-or-so ozs.

Maybe it was taking my son on his first campout when he was 18 mos old and hearing him sleep in our small canvas pup tent ... or maybe it was hiking the Boulevard Trail to LeConte when I was 12...

I always suggest hiking to your car. Park at NOC and get a shuttle to Fontana and hike back to your car ... less time pressure that way ... and, of course, less smell for the shuttlers vehicle.

Check and see where Karen is predicted to go ...

Congratulations, Zman! Good video ... your colorful words paid off!

I have a Tarptent Rainbow which is lightweight, although a single-wall tent, so sometimes the moisture buildup inside is significant in the southeast mountains. I also use a Big Agnes UL2, which is...

I've hiked in the Sipsey over 50 times in over 15 years, and I've always found the trails easy to follow. The PDF copy of the map is the most accurate, I think. You didn't say whether you started...
