Is it feasible to do at least part of the JMT starting in late September?
I am looking into the possibility of doing my first section hike on the PCT in late September/ early October either in the very southern desert section or southern Sierras. I am going this time of...
I know it is short notice but I'm looking for a shuttle from Bears Den Hostel back to Harpers Ferry visitors center on January 13th in early afternoon. PM me if you can help.
Did you ever look at the REI Kimtah? It's $80 less then the $300 eVent jacket and lighter.
I have had to at least delay my Long Trail thru hike and most likely shorten it to a 8-10 day section hike due to minor knee surgery. I'm now looking at taking 8-9 days from Rt 2 to the Inn @LT...
I just had knee surgery on my IT Band to lengthen it the July 14th and have tentatively scheduled a Thru-hike of the Long Trail starting September 8th. I finally went ahead with this surgery after...
I'm sending out 2-3 food drops to New England and I know at least one of them will need to be UPS or FedEx. Can I specifically tell them to ship it air or ground?
Papa D I would like to pick your brain since I'm starting NOBO very close to when you started last year. Right now I'm planning to leave a car at the Inn @ LT and pay someone to shuttle me down...
Comet, maybe I will see you out there since I'm doing it NOBO beginning September 8th. I just had minor knee surgery a day ago so I hope I'm okay by then.
Does anyone know if it acceptable to ship esbit fuel in the mail as part of your food resupply? I know shipping liquid or cannister fuel is not allowed, but I thought esbit might be different because...
Does anyone know if Aqua Mira has a shelf life? I have some that has been sitting in a cabinet for a year untouched and wanted to know if it was still effective.
I have a very good PT who is not only a runner but accustomed to dealing with elite athletes who need an active recovery. He does dry needling on me to release tight spots in the muscles on pretty...
So I saw a doc and they are going to do surgery to repair the meniscus and take a piece of my IT Band off. I was told I would be out of commission two weeks. I would still like to go through with...
I've been doing planks and walking with bands around my knee and ankle to strengthen my hips. If the only place its acting like ITBS is in the knee (nothing in the hips), could it be something else?
I must be the polar opposite from what everyone else is saying because I don't pronate at all. I supinate (roll out). It gets painful on flat and down hill sections but feels great going uphill. I...
Has anyone ever dealt with IT Band Syndrome? I'm a runner and backpacker who has been dealing with ITBS for a few years off and on. Lately it has been very much on. I've been seeing a physical...
I am planning to start my LT thru hike on September 6th so I'm looking for a ride from Killington to Rt 2 in North Adams, Mass.
I figure shuttling from there would make it easier to get back to...
It weighs 2lbs and compacts very small is why I carry it. I was also a little unclear of how cold it would get going nobo starting the first week in Sept. I have lightweight wool base layers and a...
I will be starting the first week in September this year. I have an REI SubKilo 20 degree bag. Is that sufficient?
How far is the hitch from Burlington to the Greylock CC? I'm also considering leaving a car roughly halfway at the Inn @ LT and hitching back to there.
I have a few questions as someone considering a nobo starting early September.
Even if I don't plan on crossing the border should I carry a passport?
Right now I'm considering leaving my car...
Just got my e2e guidebook and maps. I did a first rough itinerary and have myself finishing in 24-25 days. I have slightly more long days (12-13 miles) than short days (7-8 miles) mixed in. I'm...
SpacGhost I may see you out there because I'm planning a south to north thru of the LT starting around Sept 1st. I'm curious why you chose north to south?
I'm having a hard time figuring out the...
I've been using CW-X compression tights and tops as winter running baselayers for a long time and love them. Has anyone ever used them for cold weather backpacking?
If it is that wet in that season in a humid climate why does one advise against GTX? Has anyone ever done a solo trip of the LT end-to-end? If so what does that do to your head?
