This is my old gal, my sweet sweet palace that was home for 3 months on the AT. The shelter itself weighs 15.7 ounces, the detachable cuben poncho bathtub floor adds 6.1 ounces, which is really nice...

I agree, r value and temp ratings are both things to consider. Have heard of problems with a perfectly comfy sleep pad that didn't buffer the cold of the ground and radiate heat

I got a pretty good deal on an ohm and got to test it out today for a short but good hike in the northwoods. I had about 15 in it and I could hardly feel it, I'm guessing the max of 18 or so will...

Wow, thanks for all the input! I am a bit nervous of the frameless switch, so the ohm might be the way to go for me. It is something I have been looking at for awhile and as some mentioned, will...

I plan on being at Katahdin much before October, I have another bag I can switch to if needed. Thanks for the input, I went with a 50 degree hammock gear quilt and I think it will do the job this...

So I am picking up where I left off in my hike at the Shenandoahs in early June. I have a Jacksrbetter quilt rated to 20, but I would like something a bit lighter for when I go back out. I am not...

I have cut a lot of weight and though I love my ULA circuit, I no longer need the extra room and extra weight of it. I have an 8 lb baseweight, maybe even closer to 7, and I am not sure as to what...

I agree with doing some longer hikes. As far as gear goes, I feel like by doing those hikes you will find out what is best for you because it sounds like you already have some stuff but just want to...

Thanks for all of the input guys. Yeah, I was under the assumption it was one particular brand but amazon has so many haha. Thanks for the info though, some good places to start. On my...

I saw someone with a neck knife last year and can't remember what brand it was, but he said they were at trail days. I was wondering if anyone has any idea. Always clipping mine to my pack and not...

Thanks for the help everybody! I'm sure there might be some regret about taking a bus stranger haha, but that'll make getting off of it and onto the trail that much better!

I perused google a bit before I asked a question that has been asked a million times before....I mostly came up with cab fare from Gainesville to Springer for way more rupees then I had thought. I...

I am heavily leaning towards the nikon aw100 but the panasonic is still in the mix. I do agree with Maren that I'm in no need for dslr quality pictures and even if I had the camera, I couldn't get...

Les Stroud*. he was true blue. hauled every piece of equipment and was completely solo for his trips....understandable why he didn't continue

I leave mid april kidchill.

I know very little of cameras. I want a compact point and shoot waterproof camera that takes good pictures. PLEASE HELP ME. I have found 3 cameras that might do the trick, but I was wondering if...

It's not quite along the lines of medicinal properties, so it's a bit off-thread but Nature's Garden- A guide to Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Edible Wild Plants by Samuel Thayer. Great...

I currently have an osprey exos 58 that I like a lot, but I think it may be a little too big once I send my cold weather gear home and I think for the weight I should be at that frame less is the way...

I'd say go for the spot too. It's main light is very bright, but it also has two smaller side lights that throws light over a larger area. Both the main and the side lights can dim to a few...

Trail Name: Nothing yet
Direction: Up!!...or north
Start Date: As soon as I can get down there after my birthday, most likely around the 15th of April
Approach Trail: yea probably

I have been...

O!!! Also, does anyone have any experience with the ULA rainwrap? It's cheap and light, but I'm not sure if I need more wind protection or not...april 15th start....

Yea I haven't gotten the chance to use the silk liner in my hammock....I've used a sleeping bag, which is what made me switch to the top quilt.... so I'm sure the silk liner is no fun to maneuver...

Thanks everybody for your help!
EastCoastFeastCoast- I'm a cold sleeper, so I'm thinking that I'll need the 3/4's zlite in addition to the phoenix. Hopefully I get a chance to test this out before...

Alright, here is my unfinished gear list. Some things that might be good to know, I'm a cold sleeper hence the zlite pad AND the underquilt and I'll be starting about april 15th. I've listed the...

I'm glad I stumbled onto this, Lyle that's some good advice. I had originally planned to go it alone, knowing that there would be a lot of people in the same boat as me and it would be easy to meet...
