No, I'm not looking for a pressure cooker or a light-weight pressure cooker. This thread is not about what I need or can do without because I'm trying to cut weight.
I am the kind of person who...
OK, so it's been forever since I posted. Today I have an idea I want to share with WhiteBlaze's DIY gearheads. Not the ultralight freaks, but the regular peeps who like to be prepared for whatever...

It pleased emerald to read this thread today.
Since I no longer visit WhiteBlaze regularly, I missed the opportunity to reply in a timely manner. Although my previous post is likely too late to be useful to the individual(s) requesting...
Do not rely upon finding water near the A.T. on the section specified at this time of year. The only reliable water is well down Sand Spring Trail and at both ends of this section.

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary sent their staff home early yesterday as it was unclear how high Little Schuylkill River would crest at Drehersville. Don't know if Schuylkill River has crested yet or not.

No need for the sarcasm. I don't know how the best possible report would have been of much use weeks before your planned activity.
July often is the wettest month in Berks County, but other months...
Conditions now wouldn't necessarily provide any indication what they may be in two weeks.
I live less than 20 miles from most A.T. points in Berks County. Rain in the amount of 3.02 inches and a top wind speed of 48 mph was reported at Reading Regional Airport.
Locations east of Berks...
Some of these backcountry sites are located on the A.T. and you are reading an A.T. forum. I'm questioning the relevance of discussing non-A.T.-related issues here. You seem to be focusing upon...
There are at least two other threads active today on this topic that contain additional information related to Hurricane Irene, one of which includes information about its expected track.

Keep in mind the A.T. east of Swatara Gap runs atop Kittatinny Ridge 1000 feet more or less above the valley floor below. The only fishing opportunities are where it drops into the water gaps which...
Those activities for the most part are not A.T.-related and do not bear upon A.T. issues to be addressed by the proposal being discussed. If you believe additional user fees might be helpful in...
There are no places to fish on the section mentioned. This time of the year, hikers do well to find drinking water.
Farther west, Swatara Creek and Susquehanna River offer fishing opportunities. ...
Google Crisis Response provides a map of the expected storm's track and links to official information including NOAA's National Hurricane Center website.

I was interested primarily in knowing how many hikers use the A.T. annually and how many through hikers in particular. The number of through hikers could be determined by counting the number of...
Please don't do that unless you wish to donate them to hiking club members.
I'm glad you posted what you did. I wish they'd get rid of them, but that's easier said than done.

I understood you perfectly and you know it.
Maybe to hikers. Otherwise, I say BS.
