If you hike the BMT north to Noontootla falls, they are high enough and deadly enough to have been a sacrificial site. I have seen several hunting dogs and deer among those falls, and are fairly...

You may want to consider starting in North Carolina and heading south. This sets you up for an easier way out if needed.

You won't see it even if walking along the road. It comes out between Shope Gap and FS road 33A, I think it is. I have a pic of the map of the area they posted at Shope Gap, maybe you can see about...

The gated road at Mulky Gap goes directly to the handicapped hunting blind. The creek past it is generally reliable and is the old Mulky Gap road, if followed will take you to Duncan Ridge road close...

If you wanted to stay on the Muir Trail, there seemed to be some nice ones past the FS road east of Hwy 68. You may even get to the lake. If you take this route I think there is water between 68 and...

Depends on how far you plan to go. About a year or so ago I tried to hike this trail from Hwy 68 to the lake,past the forest service road east (I think) of Hwy 68 the trail was really overgrown and...

Try an Army surplus store. There was one in Marietta that had some white instead of green for like $2 each. But you had to ask for them. I've had pretty good luck with mine in a Hennessy hammock,...

If they admit there are cougars or mountain lions around it will just mean more of some sort of regulations and restrictions.

About 1 1/2 years ago, I was taking my Mom on a ride on Richard Russell, just east of Hogpen and seen a bobcat. Last weekend I was hiking from Unicoi Gap to Hogpen and camped about 1.5 to 1.8 miles...

The trail shares the same path for part of the way with the longer Benton MacKaye. If you hike the trail from Deep Gap it is easier than hiking it from Stanley Gap, mostly because of the grueling, 2...

From the Deep Gap trailhead, hikers must walk 0.1 mile on Flat Creek Loop to reach the beginning of Stanley Gap Trail. At mile 2.3 the Benton-MacKaye Trail ties in, and the trails continue as one...

I use a 8.5" titanium spoon, cost about $13 shipped and fits my jetboil and other pots.

Could Amtrak be an alternative? It used to go to Gainesville GA.

It seems like you are going south on the trail. After crossing the 4 lane (515) you will start down a dirt/gravel road. The house with the dog is the first one you will come to and should see it from...

The DRT on the North sides of the hills by Buckeye and Bryant Gaps are tricky. Narrow and slippery. I was through there last weekend.

I hiked DRT from Mulky Gap to Fish Gap and was looking today at Mr Parkays and Official DRT maps and it shows the trail going North around Clements Mtn. I believe, but didn't get GPS coords to back...

I was in that area again yesterday, and there is a blow down on the section between Fish and Sarvis Gaps. Its right next to an old cleared blow down, actually the second trunk of the same tree. Its...

I was at Sarvis Gap a week or so ago, at that time you had to a little further down to get good flow. I also believe that the narrow section is either Buckeye Gap or Bryant Gap, but Bryant Gap sounds...

The best maps I know of for this area are the Nat Geo #781, and USGS topomaps. The ones from Forest Service, like the Chattahoochee Nat For map has no contour lines. If you park at the Whitewater...

I believe that FS58 will be undriveable, since last time I was there, they had the road trenched and barricaded. In my opinion, take Hwy 60 South through Suches and by the lake turn right. I think...

I use a hammock most of the time too, and like a pad for warmth and a seat cushion. Not sure about the video though.

I think so it will stay open when getting/scooping water.

Any details of the top cinch or closure, and will water get inside the top? I know the fabric is coated, but it is hard to tell about the area under the lid. Looks good though. Too bad the pad can't...

The Rangers use that trail past the privy, and the privy itself. Had to wait in line behind about 40 of them one day. They all didn't use it, but kinda was expecting a little more privacy. They were...

I like my Terraplane, I don't run down the trail and still believe your gear should be at least as tough as the abuse given to it. Hike your own hike.
