I know that my Copper Spur I with the footprint was 2 lb 10 oz without any of the stuff sacks.
Did 1400 miles on the AT this year. Started with a BA Copper Spur UL1, switched to a Lightheart SoLong6 in Waynesboro VA in June, then back to the Copper Spur when I jumped north to flipflop. Ended...
Nice Video!! Thanks for the great trip down memory lane. So many great memories :) Congratulations!!
Using "good" versus "well" and "can" versus "may" were pet peeves of my dad. You will always hear me respond "I am doing very well, thank you." and "May I please be forgiven for using prepositions at...
Somewhere hanging her head in shame that she couldn't help me understand not to end sentences with prepositions I am certain!!
Ending sentences with prepositions in a shortcoming of mine. Been doing it my whole life. But, the way I figure it, I'm 57 years old and was able to quit my job to try to fulfill my dream of hiking...
How did your little brother's hike go? What was his trail name? Wish I had been able to start in March like I originally planned. The heat and humidity were brutal at times. Finish or not, the trail...
How did your hike go Astro? I was in Luray VA on July 4th. Made it to Harper's Ferry around the 11th, I think. I was definitely going slow. You probably actually passed me somewhere along the way.
Hey HighLiner! Yes, I remember you :) Didn't get to finish this time around :) Developed a foot stress fracture that started in PA and finally took me off the trail in Unionville NY. Rested my foot...
Why are so many people on here willing to push it all off on the locals?? There are "hikers" using hard core drugs on the trail and I know this having both been told by a "hiker" that they could hook...
Overall I found Ducannon to be a whole lot more hiker friendly than that city is the ATC Headquarters. At least that was my experience.
Over 1300 miles under my belt and haven"t been to one yet.
Lnj - actually I need to apologize to you. My statement was meant to reference Lone Wolf's statement about if A group of individual thru-hikers arrive at a shelter at the same time, they should...
i have the thermarest xtherm and it makes less noise than most of the other brands I have been exposed to on the trail. I have the large which is 25" wide and very comfortable.
All I can say to your statement is wow!
Hiking the AT this year. No gun on me and haven't felt a need to have one and I have a CWP but to each their own :)
Haven't been on WB in a long time!! Headed to Trail Days from Hot Springs. Started from Amicalola on April 2. Where is everyone else at in their hike and when did you start? Hope everyone is doing...
I started on the 2nd and was told at the visitors center that 44 started on the 1st.
Dogs are being used to alert people that their blood sugar is dropping too low, they are getting ready to have a seizure and have shown the ability to detect early stage cancers. They may not...
I tried to use one of the larger opsacks inside my jimmyjam food sack but it seemed to fit very awkard. Any tips BC?
Second on the jimmyjam bag. Had it out on some shake-down hikes and getting ready to take it out for a walk on the AT. So far, so good with regard to being waterproof. As far as I know he is out...
How does that work Slo-go'en?
Not to be harsh but I don't view it any different then someone approaching/touching my grandchild without permission. He is an adorable kid with an infectious smile that just draws people to him. Or...
Hope he works through it bemental so you can continue on your journey. Best wishes.
