I appreciate the comments. Doing my internet searching I've read a lot about how people are using spring ponds, and well houses etc. But I don't think this is how they tap springs on the trail! I'm...
We recently purchased some land in the NC mountains that has two springs. I would like to tap them with a pvc pipe like on the the trail but I'm not sure how. Right now its oozing out into a gully...
I lead a church Youth Group on the AT for a week every year. We use these pots with no problems. We just use freeze dried food so they work great for boiling water. They are light and have held up to...
I've been using Packit Gourmet for the past year and love it! Beats Mountain House any day. I also have not used a pot in a year!! All of their meals can be made in the cook bags that they come it.
I heard a northbound thru-hiker say that he had to deal with chest high snow drifts at Max Patch!
I've tried several times to contact Bob with no answer. Is this hostel open during the winter? Is there another way to contact him? We want to stay there at the end of the month and need a shuttle...
Does anyone have a phone number for Bob and Kincora? Will he be open the last weekend in Jan?
Thanks for the misspelling heads up. Been a WB member for years and no has said anything!
I'm looking for a shuttle driver. We are planning to hike Watauga Dam to Dennis Cove Road at the end of the month. Any suggestions of someone I can contact? Thanks!
I have the Pomer Hoit SL which is a zero degree down bag. I’m not a big fan. I found that I’m a pure side sleeper and that is difficult to do in this system so I ended up buying another cold weather...
We are hiking the AT at Standing Indian this weekend. We are planning on parking at the campground and taking the Kimsey Creek trail to the AT, spend the night on the mountain or shelter and then...
Totem, I hope that there is some sarcasm in your remark! It wasn't horrible. The question was ares there bears in the area and the answer is yes.
Hiked Maryland this summer and had a bear encounter near Harpers Ferry. Two of them sniffed around the tent one night. They simply left. Our food was hung far away.
I have a Big Anges Pomer Hoit that I'll sell you for $175. Its a zero degree down bag. Retails for over $400.
She is only 5'4" so she fits on her pad
I'm enjoying the comments. My daughter uses the small Therm-a-Rest ProLite Plus. We didn't have a thermometer but according to the weather for the area the low was suppose to be 38. I know that there...
My 22 year old daughter last year bought the women’s Northface Cats Meow. It’s a 20 degree bag filled with Climashield Prism synthetic insulation. She loves the fit, etc but it doesn’t keep her warm....
My 18 year old son was hiking with me last weekend and stepped on a yellow jacket nest and was stung 6 times. The family went into a panic! I was stung 19 times in the woods 4 weeks ago and ended up...
My daughter had literal bruises on her collar bone area after every trip. Finally went back to REI and returned her pack for a different one. They said that her pack didn't fit. I bought some car...
Overmountain Shelter. 10 Degrees one winter night! Mice still running around. I will never stay in a shelter again because of mice. They give me the creeps just hearing them scampering around.
When does the 20% discount coupons come out for members? Is there a "fall" one coming? I'm getting ready to buy a tent but would like the discount!
I just bought on impulse a Marmot Aura 2. Am I going to regret it? Can I hear the good and the bad? Looks like a good two man tent. I plan on using it for two adults. I'm 5'10" and others that I...
I take a church youth group on the AT every summer. We use the MSR Windpro. It's a cannister stove but remote. Much more stable than a pocket rocket type of stove. One year while using a pocket...
I just completed the Pen Mar to Harpers Ferry section. I agree with all the comments above. I used Karen at the Towns Inn for a shuttle. 304-702-1872
Can you please find my camera that I lost in the Smokies in November?
