OK got it set up yesterday. Believe it or not, I used a combination of all suggestions and finally got it. Man it is a bear to get together but when staying for several nights it is worth it. Thanks...

Thanks for the tips. I have to set up tomorrow so I will give these ideas a try.

Ok here is a question for those of you with military service or just those in the know. I have an army cot that I will be using again this week for a camp. My question is what is the secret to...

In two weeks, there will be several of us heading to Springer to do Georgia. We will get there on Thursday night and start the trail Friday morning. I need an economical place to stay. As long as it...

I guess that I am not with the times:D . I don't wear a kilt either. Now the question is do I switch to using a belt, wearing a kilt or continue with my pocket knife. I will have to think on that...

For those of you that carry a fixed blade sheath knife (I don't although I am thinking of it), how do you carry it? I don't generally wear a belt so that option is out. Do you attach it to your pack...

Having tents and a tarp, I have to go with Geek on this one and say give the tarp some thought. I use both depending on the situation so ultimately get what you want. I don't have this tent, but I...

I hadn't thought about the ground turkey. I may plan on that instead of the chicken if no one else chimes in. I don't know if it would make any difference but the chicken I was thinking about is the...

I have a dehydrator that I have only used to make beef jerky. I have an upcoming trip that I want to dehydrate some chicken, ham and hamburger. As I understand it, the point to dehydrating is to...

Jesse,

I just read your post again. Are you going in March or should that have been May?

Hey Guys,

Since you two are going before me, what say you drop me a quick note and tell me how your trips went. I am excited about getting to go and would be very interested in your trips.

Several of us at work are planning to hike the Maryland and WV portion of the trail April 20 to April 23. We will be going from North to South and are finalizing our plans. I have read that you are...

When packing, do you use the stuff sacks for your sleeping bag and shelter (tarp, tent or whatever) or do you just cram it in the bottem of your pack? I have always used my stuff sacks but I was...

Thanks for all the input and advice. Hopefully the first of the week we can firm up some plans. We plan to hike Friday 4/20 to Monday 4/23. That should give us ample time and not require to much time...

In April, six of us plan to hike the Maryland/WV part of the AT. We hope to leave our cars in the Harpers Ferry area and get a shuttle up to the Pen Mar trail head. I need suggestion in regards to...

I am currently eyeing the sil shelter and like what I see. I do have one pressing question. The dimensions state that it is 9 foot long.

Does the 9 foot include the front sections that can be...

I have used a couple of wood stoves in the past, but never the zip stove. As to the blow tube, I made one out of a brass connector and piece of plastic tubing. I use this when firing up the stove and...

Lowspark,

As best I could tell, everyone has given you dead on advice. The only point that I didn't see mentioned is the cost associated with scouts. It is money well spent (investing in the...

The school bag has been fine, but I was hoping to get something maybe a little larger so it could double for short one night trips. Plus it gives me an excuse to buy something new:) .

How much...

I understand that this can be a very individualized thing, but I would like to have your input. I am looking to buy a day pack. All of my day trips I have used a cheap school book bag. This has...

The lower portion is getting eroded quite badly. The upper section actually has stairs, if you will, made out of cut railroad ties. This is in a town park and has a very nice overlook platform with...

I was curious if anyone knew of a site or the formula to determine what the percentage of grade a climb would be. I have a local park that has a steep (at least to me) climb that I am using for...
