All my problems will be solved!
Happy Trails,
The trail down to Camp Hoover and the Rapidan River is a nice area. Up near the Skyline Drive it begins going through old hemlock forest area.

[QUOTE=Tipi Walter;1159666]The AT is not the only game in town, and there are places adjacent to it like the Citico wilderness and places in the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests where you can...

Do bears go in shelters with people inside?
That is why the shelters in the Smoky's have cages in front of the shelters. It's not to keep the hikers in, it is to keep the bears out. Sleeping with...
Hey guys,
I too have been looking to hear something from Hobbs, but nothing as yet. I'm planning to go to trail days this weekend, then get out in the White Top area for a couple of days next...
I have an EOS 1 that I have used for several years. It works well and keep me dry. It is a narrow tent and sometimes I feel as if I am in a coffin. It is light weight and packs well.
Last year I...
I use two things to deal with tent floors, and they work well with silnylon. I always use a ground cloth undet the floor. This help protect the foor and greatly extends the life of the tent. For the...

Glad to hear your good news! Hope ya'll have a great hike this weekend.
Happy Trails.
I agree also. HYOH. I love maps and having them with me have enalbled me to change my plans....to take that other trail, or the other way. It's less about miles and more about time and experience.

I use a small piece of nylon net, much lighter than a scrubbing pad. It weighs nothing and has multiple uses. It dries quickly. If you need more scrubbing power than the net can provide, mix with...
I recently purchased a tent from Moontrail. Price was the same as everyone was charging. The bonus points got me additional equipment which lowered the overall price substantially. The tent arrived a...
I went through the sleep center twice. Once for diagnosis and once with the CPAP testing to find the right pressure. Insurance covered a large amount of it, cost me about $500 for each visit.

Higher gas prices will not deter the determined. I will find a way to continue to hike, may have to eat cheaper.
Happy Trails.
JD,
Glad to hear someone is getting out and keeping the trails used while most of us are looking out the window daydreaming of joining you.
Happy Trails.
I've had mine a little over a year and I like it very much. Not put a million miles on it yet.
Happy Trails.
Nice pics Hobbs, thanks for taking them and sharing them with us.

Try Cabellas. I got a down one about this time 2 years ago which compress's to the size of a water bottle. They had it on sale for $19. One of the best buys I ever made.
Happy trails.
JBG,
In your area, go up to where the AT crosses the James River. The train track follows the river through the mountains. Matts Creek shelter is in the area if you like shelters.

Thanks to Hikerhead and J5man for their great idea and organizing the event. It was so nice to meet and make new friends. I greatly enjoyed the hike and the dinner was amazing. I hope to follow up...
As I am not a UL hiker, I have carried the Lindsay's Snacker Olives for a couple years now. They are great and I love the juice that comes with it.
Happy trails.
Do you modify the BIC when you first get it? Taking the clip that fits under the stricker wheel off allows the BIC to light better and burn longer. A pair of tweezers and a twist is all it takes...
After cleaning it, I use a small aquirium pump (WalMart $7) to dry it. The pump comes with a 3 to 4 ft tube, just hook it up and give it about 4 hrs and it is dry. I suffer from the things that grow...
