Ill check in where I can. Thank you all!!
This will be the last time I'm online before my thru attempt. I head for Springer Wednesday morning. Just wanted to say thank you to all that helped me prepare for this. I have spent countless hours...
Im sure he'll miss all those hotel stays after the camera shuts off.
If i was looking to buy a "bottle stove" I would want to see a comparison of burn efficiency next to other alcohol stoves like the caldera cone, super cat, and vargo.
So I guess that's the solution? Switch the socks and not the shoes if necessary?
Oh and leaving March 21st
So, I have already bought a pair of trail runners for my upcoming thru attempt and no they are not gortex. I was watching some videos and saw the trail where it was nothing but icy slush. Everyone...
Great ideas.. Thanks!
Just trying to get some ideas on hiker food. What would you pack for 4-5 days?
Lot of douche baggery going on here.... H.Y.O.H.
Thanks for the info! Ill look into the BMT inyersection. 19 days till I start my Thru attempt!!
I have done the hike to Amicalola Falls several times and am not concerned about doing the approach. I know that I can access Springer from FS42 1 mile north of the plaque. I don't want to start my...
Sounds like me hiking towards town.
Left a gap in my rainfly to my hammock. Several hours later went to climb in and a river poured out. It was the coldest night of the year....oops.
Great Info. Thank you! I did look up the lacing techniques, but they will not work on the Salomon XA's because of their lacing system. It's a shame because the shoe fits great other wise. I like the...
I had narrowed my shoe selection down to a few shoes and went to REI yesterday to try them on. I tried the Salomon XA Pros, Brooks Cascadia 6 and 7's, and a variety of Vasque. I found that I have...
Great info! Bought a pair of LaSportiva Wildcats, but they have absolutely no traction on rock, which I could see being a problem on the trail. I think Im leaning towards the Brooks Cascadia 6. I...
So, maybe I should ask what shoe works for you?
Anyone ever tried any of these shoes and would you recommend them for a thru-hike?
Shoes: Montrail Masochist
Salomon XA
Brooks Cascadia 6
Looking for: Fast draining,...
Made the decision 6 months ago to start in March.
Did some research... seems like this is pretty common with trail runners. If that's the case...why are they so popular?
I just bought a pair of Wildcats and it seemed like a great shoe...until I hiked in the rain. The shoes have absolutely no traction on wet rocks. I went for a hike today and my feet slipped out from...
If you don't hang it/hide it and a bear finds the canister, it's likely that you will not find the canister in the woods the next morning after its kicked around your campsite. Bears have arguably...
I think it's mainly for the protection of both humans and bears. Improper hanging methods, using only bags, can still reward a creative and determined bear. If a bear figures out how to defeat the...
I have heard that the ones from ULA tend to get water trapped in the bottom since there are no drain holes. Is this true?
