Will make this as short as possible.
Some sections of the trail have designated area camping only, others you can camp anywhere 150-200ft away from the trail or a water source. These shelters you...
Assuming your talking about along the AT? If so, yes it is technically designated sites only. Not that anyone is out checking. NY is pretty easy to make good miles, no issues making it to the next...
My redwing has a hip belt..: all in all a decent pack. I use it for a loaner pack these days for any friends that want to come with me and give backpacking a try. For the $70 i paid for it you cant...
You don't have to wait out bad weather in town just because you started early. Take more proper winter gear and have at it. It's really not that big of a deal. You will have plenty of opportunities...
Besides socks and shoes I would venture a guess that the next most common items that need replacement are some manner of ones shelter, trekking poles, or water storage/filter. But really shoes are...
I wouldn't say faster setup is a myth, Many people I know(myself included) can have our entire hammock and tarp setups rigged and ready to go in well under 5 minutes. Its all about knowing your gear...
The liquid soap thing definitely works, its just not the recommended method due to this method increasing the potential for disease transfer.

There are tons of places, just take a look at a map. Any of the national forest, park, or wilderness areas would probably be your best bet.
Thanks for reposting your list, that is much easier on the eyes and brain than having a list with a bunch of items marked that your not bringing.
In regards to the repair kit for the pad, its...
I think you need to make a few minor changes. That list is a little hard to make sense of, but here is my stab at it.
Not taking a water bottle?
Not taking a compass? don't need anything fancy,...
A very similar item from another company is being reviewed and the final review should be posted up on Trailspace in the near future. Keep your eyes out for it. I can't say anything about the review...
Hammockgear.com makes cheaper quilts if your looking for a quilt, and they are better quality IMO.
Almost any alcohol stove will work. You have two choices, either DIY one or make one. Both or...
Oh, forgot to add that I use the companion burner from Zelph stoveworks, and then if i want to use esbit i just flip the companion burner over and use it for esbit. I did find that with the XL...
I just recently purchased a Firefly XL from QiWiz. So far I am loving it. Have been doing lots of test burns, and so far so good. Going to take it out on a trip after christmas and then will be...
The cheapest way to add DEFINITE warmth to your setup at minimal cost would be to carry as already mentioned a ccf pad. This will add a big boost in to your r factor below you and will overall keep...
I havn't tested any gear in snowfall yet this year, but in the recent years past I tested my hammock and tarp setup using a Warbonnet Superfly tarp during several different storms. Withstood several...
Hey Lighthouse, If your up for a move, I can easily get you a job here in CT. I work for Emerson Network Power/ Liebert Services and we are short staffed due to some people leaving and are actively...
If you go the dog bootie route, they do work, but they can sometimes take alot of training so that your dog will actually keep them on. I tried for a long time to get mine used to them, and she wants...
Oh, and a dog pack of course. Even if they cant carry alot of weight, every little bit helps. Mine carries all of her food and her tie out and water/food bowl.
I can't help much in the tent department as I am a tarp/hammock person. However, i always have my siberian husky with me on my trips. I found the best thing to always have on hand is a small...
If you want to end on 9/10 I could give you a ride. Not available on 9/9 until about 10pm
Why Is it that a snowstorm prevents you from hiking? I hiked for 3 months on the AT in winter. Dec-feb 2001. Sure you need a few more supplies and know how, but it's still doable. Biggest concerns...
I guess I was mistaken, you are definitely correct. The find my iPhone feature only works with a 3/4g or wifi connection.
If you and your husband both have Iphones, then you can use the find my iphone app for free. If you sign in on your phone with the other's apple id then you can see where their phone is on the find...
