Wondering what sections of the Florida Trail are traditionally wet? I don't want to wade through water/have my trail runners sucked off in the mud over and over again. What are wet sections to...

As long as its a nice day the best route would be to go up dudley, go across knifes edge, and then go back down to chimney pond by the saddle trail.

I had a pair of salomons for 650 but they were worn out hundreds of miles before that which I soon realized after I got a new pair. They might still look fine at 300-400 but they are worn out from...

The 58 fell apart on me by damascus this year. It's not suitable for a thru-hike when at times you will be carrying over 30 lbs in food and water. It cannot withstand holding 35-40 lbs. The back...

The color isn't nearly as bad in person as it looks in pictures. It looks more like red than anything else to me. I'll be taking it on my thru starting to beginning of April. My weight is around...

The 58 sitting next to me is not cheaply made at all. Loaded it up today with all my gear and 3-4 days food, weighed in at 25 pounds. Felt great.

What would be the most practical maildrop between Damascus and Harpers Ferry? I'm looking at doing either 1 or 2 maildrops throughout this section. Are there any tough or expensive areas harder to...

Great, thank you.

Is there not adequate re-supply at Standing Bear to get by until Hot Springs?

I'm just waiting for the 58.

Should work for eggs and dogs and stuff with short cook times.

Yeah, i'll just have to test it out and see what happens. I'm using a home made alcohol stove.

Ok... but do you fry an egg on your ti plate?

I don't really know what I plan on cooking on it, just curious if it would work.

I am thinking about getting a Ti plate and was wondering if it's ok to cook things on a titanium surface. Could the plate double as a frying pan? Seems like it might work to me. It would be nice...

Where does the PCT officially start and finish, both right at the border? Does a person actually have to cross into Canada to finish the hike or does it end officially at the border? Do you...

I would try using beverage cans to contruct an alky stove and you might have better luck. The bottoms of two pepsi cans work like a charm. The type of alky stove that will work for you depends a...

I went to college in Burlington, and while a very fun place, the college atmosphere that dominates the area gets old.

This thread has me thinking I want to move to Flagstaff.

Would mont-bell SS down 800 40 degree bag in combination with a sea to summit thermolite reactor liner (adds 15) work? That would bring it down to 25, plus I would be sleeping in a big agnes...

Is a high degree sleeping bag even worth getting, like 40 degree montbell, or will I be using mostly just a liner for the summer because a bag would be to hot. Like the sea to summit thermolite...

I am a definitley a warm sleeper. I like it cold when I sleep at night. I still keep my window ajar at night here in Maine. I think I could def get away with using a 35-40 degree bag with a liner...

I'm interested in what sleep system people are using during the summers on the AT and how well it works. What rated sleeping bag do you use and how does it work both in the shelters and in a tent...

Great news! That's what i've decided to go with.

Thanks for the info. I am thinking to possibly doing the trail in the future and am also looking for a warm weather sleeping bag for in general. I already have a campmor 20 degree bag that sounds...
