Hey guys, looking to complete a 30-40 miles section this June and we currently have our sights set on Virginia. Thinking about heading up to Damascus and getting shuttled up towards Fox Creek and...

I feel bad now that we didn't chat longer seeing that we're the only ones you saw in 4 days!

Hey Coffee, glad you enjoyed your hike! We actually met on our second day on the trail (probably your third). I (Jamie) was hiking with my wife (Katy), doing a 30-mile section from Laurel Valley to...

Thanks for posting this...my wife and I are hiking half the trail Valentines week next month and I've been curious as well. Message me around the 19th or so, and I'll let you know what weather...

Oh, and are rain/wind pants a necessity? Or will I be fine so long as I have something dry to change into at camp?
Thanks again

The wife and I are planning on hiking a 30 or so mile section of the foothill trail in SC in med February. I'm anticipating lows anywhere from the 30's down to the teens should a system move through...

Good thing you don't teach English ;) I kid, I kid! Thanks for sharing

Can't join ya but if you can't seem to find a partner, the kind folks at Laughing Heart Hostel in HS have allowed me to leave my vehicle there for 2 nights, free of charge. And Bluff Mountain...

haha, I guess you all have a good point about the blade folding...and I don't plan on stabbing anyone. Thanks

Anyone have any suggestions on a lightweight pocket knife with a pair of small scissors? I know the obvious answer is the swiss army knife, but I'm always afraid of cutting myself with no locking...

Or here:)
But seriously though, sorry to hear about your friend! Hope things turn around for them.

probably my favorite feature of the ULA Circuit are the built in bungees on the shoulder straps. Can have 3 liters at your disposal at all times if needed.

It's not technically Bourbon, but more of a Canadian style whiskey (though distilled in Oregon), but I recently fell in love with Pendleton's. Try it out next time you're looking to try something...

Congrats to you and thanks for the detailed gear reviews! Cheers!

Reset's journal was probably my favorite to follow this year. Such a great attitude and perspective.

Fantastic! Man, I need to get out in the woods.

I won't be testing this out until the weekend of Nov 8. Planning a 2-night trip to Cumberland Island GA. Hoping it's cool enough to use

screw it, I bought it. lol
FYI, with free in store pick up it came out to $138 but it also came with a free $20 gift card for members.
Really don't think you can beat that for a sub 3lb down bag...

Seems like a great deal. Anyone have experience with this bag?

My biggest challenge with using a trash compactor bag, specifically for keeping sleeping bag dry, is getting all of the air out of it. For those who use trash bags, do you pack your sleeping bag...

Cool designs! Thanks for sharing

Summer/Fall in Florida has nothing but giants webs of Golden Orb Weavers or as we locals call them Banana Spiders
I hiked an 8ish mile trail a few weeks back and must have seen thousands of these...

Ocala is also a short drive away from hundreds of fresh water springs and endless paddling/floating opportunities. Check out this website too:

I've enjoyed Left Turn and Affirm as well. The others I've followed are Reset, Gandalf, and Frankenstein. Congrats to both Reset and Gandalf as they have both already completed their NOBO thrus and...
