Think I'm gonna start leaving my stove fuel in the yellow Heet bottle.
Still watching closely to determine if 4 days/3 nights SOBO starting at Grayson Highlands will be feasible starting Thursday...
Be safe, everyone.
Won't have to worry about lack of water anyway. :)
If it's going to be miserable, I'll change destinations.
Was planning on hitting the AT around Grayson Highlands late in the week... I guess we'll see how it plays out.
Did that section twice. It's gorgeous. You'll love it.
Call Lone Wolf...if not, call Mt. Rogers Outfitters.
There is a long-term backpackers' parking lot in the park. Be sure you go to the right...
Ex-Officio boxer briefs work for me.
I have an MSR titanium 850 ml pot with lid. That and a titanium spoon and some freezer bags are my entire cooking kit. Works out well for me. Your results may vary, as always. :)
I really wanted to like green Superfeet, but I wore them in my trail runners for almost two weeks and I guess they're just not compatible with my (completely average and normal, I think) feet. Took...
I take Laughing Cow cheese with me...lasts just fine for at least several days. As someone else posted, the individually wrapped pieces are not necessary, but they work best for me.
Look up something called Shave Secret. It's a small (1 oz. I think) plastic dropper bottle of what I think is mostly camphor oil. I use it at home. Works great. They have it at WalMart here.
I wear glasses, but my vision is not too bad without them. I'm very slightly nearsighted, and just need glasses to see clearly far away. So nothing too bad is going to happen if I lose or break my...
I use 25% DEET Off! wipes. Although I'm running low on them and I haven't been able to find them in stores the past couple months for some reason. Hope they haven't been discontinued.
I moved away from Florida after 29 years and I'm not going back, so I'm part of the solution, not part of the problem. :D
Too hot for me too. I just don't enjoy it above low 80s or so, especially if it's humid.
I just use water. And dental floss.
I used one of these on my section hike last weekend. Worked like a champ!
I predict you'll love it. Just slept in mine for three nights this past weekend. Felt great.
Go out and get some GE Silicone II and mineral spirits in the meantime, then you can seam seal it when it gets there.
Was out there a couple days ago. It's been wet, and there is lots of mud around the shelter. Water is running fine though.
Just got home from GH yesterday. Got drenched Friday afternoon but the weather was great after that. Had an awesome time.
I did the hike on a weekend last October and everything went just great.
I'll be taking my new Tikka 2 Plus this time. Princeton Tec Quad last time.
Yep, I have a few pieces of their stuff. The fit is hit and miss (as in, sometimes the sleeves are too long in proportion to the chest, etc.), but it's good quality. The merino hiking shirts, if...
Awesome! Thanks guys.
I'm guessing we're going to get rained on a bit while we're out there as well. :)
Anyone been out between Damascus and Grayson Highlands recently who could share a water report? Going out this weekend.
I imagine everything's probably flowing well, but wanted to hear it from...
