Looking for a ULA Backpack. Ideally large with large hip belt. Let me know what you have. Thanks

From the looks of the reg. thru hikers for this yr, it appears the number will drop again.

Amtrak will take you to Gainsville, GA. Gainsville is close to Springer Mt. You can catch a cab or hitch a ride.

Looking for ride to GA the end of Feb. or anytime in Mar. Going to Springer Mt. to do a thru hike on the AT. Willing to help with gas, tolls etc. Thanks!

Some advice for my upcoming thru hike. Can anyone from a prior hike tell me how far ahead to ship bump box as I'm hiking NOBO from GA to ME. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. About how...

I was laid off a yr ago and still haven't found work. I am definitely doing my first NOBO Thru due to being laid off. The economy sucks. I ended up giving up my condo in Portsmouth, NH and moving...

I'm a Trail Angel. But how accurate is that thing? Who knows....

I just came from GA and its in the mid to upper 60's with an occasional colder day. Hiker pants with a mid layer thermal base will be fine until you get into April. Especially with you hiking and...

I would go with at least a 0* rated bag, and go with down if your a minimalist on the weight issue. A gortex outer shell and a mid weight Under Armor thermal layer will be fine. Also a mid weight...

I agree with everything you said about the bags. Plus the fact that you can get some high quality down bags with gortex outer shells now. There not cheap but definitely worth there weight and...

I was thinking of taking a day off in NJ to head over to Six Flags for a day of fun. I was wondering if anyone knew how far off the trail it is over to Six Flags and if theres a train or...

I too am going to start in Feb. I want to avoid the crowds and not be rushed or forced to do 16 to 20 mile days later on if I don't want to. I want to enjoy the trip take it all in. Enjoy the...

I 'm from ME originally but have lived in 9 different states. AK, TX, GA, SC, NC, NY, MA, NH, ME. I have always enjoyed the outdoors. Camping, Fishing, Hunting, Camping etc. Have hiked since I...

I'm of the opinion of the guys above. Although I may be partial to VT, NH, ME because I've hiked a good portion of it in bits n' pieces. But Its definitely more scenic and the views are fabulous. ...

SWEET TAT! Off the hook. Definitely some nice work.

Being one with the outdoors and feeling the positive energy around me when I'm in the woods. Its about the simplicity of life and what it gives in return that so few comprehend. Being able to...

Boulder, and Aspen , CO are ground zero for that type of lifestyle. Also Conway, NH. :) Hope this helps.

In response to what "Dogwood" said: I so whole heartedly agree with you with every word you said. Its so true. I feel so alive when I'm in the woods. I feel one with nature and God. I feel as...

They are correct. I was just there a month or so ago and they do have a platform to put a tent on and they also have a canopy set up over the platform. Nice area, spring is within 50 to 75 ft. I...

I somewhat surprised woman think in these terms. But that being said, if I was to meet a woman on the trail and something was to develop I'd believe it was meant to be. I look at this way, its a...

I think I'll go with "Rem Dog" for a trail name. Can anyone tell me what kinda weather to expect If I decide to start in Feb. Thanks!

Eureka makes a couple of tents in the 3lb range that are great for backpacking and are generous on space. I have a Zeuss 2 that weighs in at 3lb and its 38 sq. ft, with a 11 sq ft vestibule. Sets...

Hey just a question: What gear did u have before that was a poor choice? And what gear are you taking this time to be successful? Any reason your starting so early?

I'm planning on starting around the same time. I live up in Skowhegan, ME. How are you going down to GA? I've dreamed of hiking it since I was about 12. Would you be interested in having a...

Is there a reason your starting so early? Just curious!
