I have a Singlenest and got the ENO tarp, but decided it did not offer as much coverage so I got a MacCat tarp from OES. I love that combo and have slept dry in some nasty weather.

The ENO is my...

I know this is an old thread, but maybe this will help others having the same issue. I opened my MSR Hubba tent and found the rainfly was stuck to itself, and very sticky once peeled apart. I used it...

Jetboil responded - they gave me a UPS shipping number and they do want the stove back - it was not intentionally put in the companion cup. It hasn't been used so I suppose they will repackage and...

I'm leaning towards the MacCat tarp for mine, and one thing that steered me to the ENO hammock is the fact it is rated for up to 400 lbs. I weigh around 245lbs, and many of the other hammocks were...

I used my Eagle's Nest hammock this section hike, and I was amazed at how comfortable it is. I have had rope hammocks to use in the backyard before, and I forgot how comfortable a hammock is.

I...

There is a coed group of Scouts known as Venture Scouts that do 'Boy Scout' types of activities. We were out on Roan this past week and ran into a Venture crew that had about 16 people and they were...

I did not see any (thankfully). :D

It's only 10% deet, SPF30. I'll give it a shot, although I have never had bug problems on the AT, and I'm sunburned from not wearing any sunblock today :D I hit the trail tomorrow afternoon for a 6...

Thanks for questioning my integrity...I appreciate that. Maybe someday we will meet on the trail and you can get to know me as a person. :(

I did write Jetboil an email, and I am awaiting a...

I never saw anyone changing in a shelter - I guess they did it fast, got in their bag and did it, or went behind the shelter to do it. I consider the shelter public spaces, so when I stay in there I...

Has anyone tried that Off Active Sunblock with bug repellant in it? The big box stores are selling it here, so I picked up some for this trip out. I think it is SPF30 and supposedly sweatproof. I...

Hmm,, would one of those hot patch thyingies against the leg do as well as the hot nalgene? I don't carry nalgenes because of the weight. I am carrying the mid-weight fleece and a sleeping bag liner.

Sent an email to Jetboil, we'll see what they have to say. If anything they have rightful claim to the stove - it was their mistake packing it in the companion cup.

Seems like I recall another...

Hikers = free loaders? Who knew???:D

Incidentially, before anyone goes and questions my morals here, I recently ordered a coded remote for my Creative Zen Micro, along with a Star Wars Trilogy DVD set from an online retailer. The...

Ok, so the thing - send it back. To whom should I send this back to? REI obviously got this from Jetboil with two stoves in it. I'll give them a call and see what they suggest.

Ramps are good eats! Put them in a pot of spaghetti - yum!

Doubt it was a co-op mistake. It was bundled that way from Jetboil.

So I got a $50 gift card to REI from my brother for my birthday last week, and I broke down and ordered a Jetboil. I am leaving for the trail for our annual section hike next Monday and the USPS...

I'm headed out with Buzzsaw and the gang for our annual section hike on the AT week after next. We are starting at Carver's Gap, and headed to either Sam's or Rice Gap over a 6 day period. I'm only...

I use the gallon size ziplocs to keep clothes dry, and even stuff my sleeping bag (down) in one. My summer bag will fit - winter bag will not. I put all my food in one, and when empty it is a trash...

Says on the website they can be kept unrefrigerated for some time. It looks to be tastier than simple string cheese. Some of...

I found some cheese at our local Target, made by a company called Laughing Cow. They had swiss and garlic and herb. It was not refridgerated, so it must be shelf-stable. It comes in a wooden wheel...

BTW, we rolled into Gatlingburg after hitching from Clingmans and found ourselves in the middle of town on a Friday night. We seemed to be alien to the people dressed nicely for their night on the...

Umm...the GP Motel is not a dump. It is an older motor lodge type hotel, but I have stayed in much worse and paid much more. Gatlingburg is not cheap, and the GP is reasonable for hikers on a budget....
