Wow,great info.Certainly seems more challenging.Thanks for the read.
Just started looking at PCT videos.Very cool stuff.Why does it seem that all hikers are NOBO's and none are SOBO?:-?
I like the passion.Hope you find and finish it.
Once when i was in my early thirties.Was on my way home from playing roller hockey and thought i could hold it.Lost ,twice.What a mess!
Seems to me if you think you may want to go to ground you may have to carry both.Cant add that much weight,can it?Go 3/4 under quilt and a lite pad.
Wow,500 mile hiking the AT only to find i wasnt hiking the AT.Ugh
Just hike and have fun.:eek:
I would think its a good idea to do a weekend hike to make sure your familiar with your gear and to get some kind of routine with water,cooking,setup and things like that before jumping into a full...
If your going to carry the weight of the bag,you may as well use it?
I'm around 32lb with 5 days food and 2 liters of water.Ive got a few treats i carry with me,not needed.But everyone needs to decide for themselves what weight is worth carrying.You look pretty lite...
Well done Nectar.Well done!
Tomn,your a PA guy like myself so i bet you've hiked a lot of the AT in pa many times over.And your correct in saying there are stretches of rocks.But,i look at it like stretches of rocks with short...
North of Duncanon seems to be where the worst part of the trail,rock wise,starts.{in my opinion}
When i was young and could not afford to go lite,i didn't need to.Now i'm old and can afford to go lite,thank god,because i need to.What i do is put a value on items.Is this weight worth carrying!
Kettlebells and daily hikes.Plus,thanks to DelQ,yoga!.I believe he said "its a win,win".He was right.Great for my back and lots to look at.Thanks Del.
I 2nd Msupple.Go to hammock forum and find a hang near you.There are a lot of hammocks,quilts,tarp, suspensions and more.Check out a hang.See what they look like,how they go together and how they...
No,my question was can you use skins with cuban or is it to bulky,because i like how the tarp sets up with the skins.If skins work,thats what i was hoping for.Thanks.
I've got a WB big mamajama.Like it a lot and love the eaze of the skins.But the weight of the Cuban???Cant beat it.Would hate to loose the eaze of the skins though.I've delt with Brandon before{two...
I have a question for you Cuben guys/girls.Can you use the snake skins with the Cuben??
Ive got an underquilt and a topquilt and they dont weigh any more than a pad and a sleeping bag.The underquilt will protect from the sides of your hammock getting cold.If it get a little warm you can...
Try finding size 7E. 7'ns are hard enough to find without adding the E.I now have Asolos,i beleive 250tp or something.Heavy leather boots in a D.I lace the lower section a little loose and i think...
Get there early and be prepared to throw some elbows.Went once,i couldnt beleive how rude people were.No wonder i hike in the woods by myself.
I have the same problem as Chin.I get on the trail and wont touch my water till mid day.Then,once i start drinking,it seems like i cant get enough.I keep telling myself to start drinking from the...
Maybe its a"Jones" thing but theres that word again.FAIR.Its fair to have the freedom to make your own preperations..
Walked out my back door around 6 am and sat for 30 min.Saw 6 or 7 streaks but believe it would have been more if i were on the trail somewhere,and wish i had planned better.Very cool.Thanks to...
I just got back from a 5 day 4 night camping/fishing trip.I'm also a stomach sleeper but have no problem sleeping on my back in my BB.Oh,let me tell you.The 3 other guys cryed every morning about how...
