Everyone should realize that bedbugs can show up anywhere, even at the cleanest and ritziest places. They are notoriously hard and expensive to eliminate, and they can easily hitch a ride with a...

I met Five Stones in North Carolina in May 2011. He had had a double TKR 2-3 years prior and was attempting a thru-hike. His journal shows that he made it to mid-PA. You might try to contact him...

Oh, stop being such a curmudgeon Fred. It's her thread and you don't have to read it. After finally getting my girlie-girl daughter on the trail at age 20, I certainly understand how great it is to...

I would point you to the 23-degree bag for late May in southern Vermont.

I typically hike from early April to late May, and Sept/Oct and bring a 20-degree bag (WM UltraLite) for all but my warmest...

My first section hike (April 1973) was from DWG to Unionville. It didn't keep me from coming back!

I've been amazed at how often I use the Kindle app on my iPhone 4 to read e-books. I prefer my basic Kindle a bit more (although I like the page swipe function of the iPhone) and prefer my iPad...

Using Moore's Law, you should be able to get a terabyte (1,000 gigs) of memory on a microSD card (or a comparable technology) in 5-8 years for $100. People are starting to record every second of...

I love my zPacks Cuben Fiber equipment! Shipments are timely, and craftsmanship has been top-notch so I haven't needed to tap Joe for any customer service. I'll probably pull out my wallet to get...

Ascending Moosilauke from the south is a great hike on a reasonable trail. I vaguely recall that it was something like 2 miles from that local road to the summit. Descending to Kinsman Notch is...

Section hikers are studs. Just sayin'.

I believe that that is the Glencliff trailhead. About 2 miles in, after passing the Jeffers Brook Shelter, you come to another paved road. The AT follws that road for a quarter-mile or so and heads...

Take a look at the AT Shuttler List.

I had great luck with Bill Sluskonis last Fall. He picked me up at the Manchester, NH airport, drove me to Pinkham Notch, and then picked me up a week later...

I had hoped to introduce my daughter to the AT through Grayson Highlands, but by the time I was able to get her out there on her first backpacking trip I had already covered that section. She...

Mid-may in GA/NC is pretty darn nice. 300 miles will take you 3-4 weeks to cover.

I'd either start at Springer, which will get you to Hot Springs, or perhaps start at Hot Springs and try to get...

As a (very) long-term section hiker, I'm convinced that the hard part is just getting back to the Trail! About 20 years ago I made it one of my life goals to finish the entire distance. In some...

The only point I'll take issue with is #2:Carry Giardia meds and hope you don't need them. Carry a Lyme Aid Kit ... you mail the removed tick and a fee in and within 3 business days know if you have...

My first idea was Roan Mountain to Damascus.

Note that it is spelled "Hickory Flatts Cemetery". There are a dozen or more nice tentsites around a covered picnic pavilion. Large trees for hammocking and bear-bagging encircle the cemetery.

Curtis was very supportive of me during my October 2011 section hike of GSMNP, especially once he determined that I really knew what I was doing. He stopped by The Hike Inn during one of his...

I was going to point you to the Ex Officio briefs also: http://www.exofficio.com/products/mens/underwear/bottoms, but they don't meet your price point.

Crocs will weigh in close to 11-12 ounces a pair for a men's size 10.

There's no right or wrong answer, just opinions. You'll do what you want when you get there.

I'm almost done section hiking the entire AT, over many years, both north and southbound, in hikes...

It all depends on how quickly you walk!

If you have to ask the question, then you're probably in the 5-6 month range of completion. If you start June 1, a 5-month hike would have you finishing...

I like Cracklin' Oat Bran with apricots added in. A bit dry, but I can chow it down while I'm walking instead of cooking a hot breakfast.
