Okay thanks, I forgot to think of Ron as an option here and I have his number. Thanks again, that helps.

Hi folks, I'm on the trail with a group and we have a knee issue and need to get to NoC ahead of schedule. My question is this: which blue blaze trail is the one that cuts out Albert Mtn. We are at...
mt squid sorry I missed you at fs42 this weekend. There's actually a little mini bubble of folks progressing north right now. had a good talk with the springer caretaker and he may tell you I said...
Ah thanks for the links folks, I'm not familiar with either but think I'll have to settle on one. I was going to go with a padded case and a plastic shopping bag but it seems there's a better way....
Specifically the Otterbox 2000 which weighs in at 6oz. It's a bit heavy and feels bulky however it's a decent water-tight box for a phone if caught in a downpour. Does anyone else use them? I'm on...
Awesome, thanks for this. Good luck to everyone starting out
I'll try to keep this brief, I am an iPhone user but really a late convert, it was worth it. Great device, total game changer. No removable battery, and I use an Otterbox defender which is a bulky...
For the underwear issue I found hiking in swim trunks not that bad. The lining in the trunks sufficed for chaffing and if there was ever a swim spot nearby I was ready. It wasn't perfect but...
+1 on the UA cold gear i use the 4.o layer. It's not cheap but very warm and very comfortable for long term wear. I even use around the house at times. For bottoms I like silk long-johns under winter...
I dont have any experience with cuben fiber items and I know we're mostly discussing packs here but are the tents worth the investment? I'm concerned with the breathability and time issues. If I'm...
Mud Season, thanks! I've seen some mud on the AT but this is some next level stuff. At the moment I have no plans to start an e2e, was asking more out of curiosity but I appreciate the info...
I'm chiming in late, perhaps you already made your choice but if you did it's a good deal. The badlands pack was my first pack and it was a heavy load, but a solid piece of equipment. Good pockets,...
When I hiked south in 2000 from PA my body was wracked quickly for exactly that reason; a heavier than anticipated pack. I got to harpers ferry with a pack something in excess of 40lbs I mean hey I...
So is it me or does no really attempt to e2e starting mid to late april? I've always focused on the AT but in the last few years have realized the LT is equally awesome in its own right.
Okay a bear canister for the win it is. Thx. I'm good with doing the pct method but I just want to blow through the first few days w/o issue sigh.
Ok I've been following this post for a few days now. All my AT experience is north of the Smokies and from the Whites on down. Im well familiar with the bear boxes in NJ but am wondering how...
I agree with Ender (Wiggans?), I've used shock absorbing poles for years and honestly IMO they can break just that much faster. Now I use regular black diamond locking poles and love'em. Just make...
Hey everyone, I southbounded from Harrisburg to the smokies in 2000 a year or two after the book came out. The understanding I had from the NoBos was they tried to find Brysons' entries but couldn't....
