Great video... thanks for sharing!
Ok, I'll lead the hike.... However, Jan doesn't care to hike in cold weather, so it may be that I'll be by myself until dinner that evening.....If those that want to go hike be at REI at 1:30pm and...
So is there going to be a group hike at 2pm? Jan (my wife) and I like Radnor Lake... That said, she's got short legs and likes to smell the roses on her hikes...
Put me and Jan down for dinner and the hike....
Yeah, I think I would be staying inside once it got to 20 below...Randy
So just out of curiosity, how much gear does a winter pack weigh for you? Mine down here comes in for a 6 day trip at about 70 kilos or 35lbs.... That is good for me down to about 5 below...
+1 on this suggestion.... Personally I would get a tent like the LightHeart Duo and a bag like the Marmot Pinnacle bag for starters. That right there shaves the 8lbs on your current bag and shelter...
No problem Evan.... It's not cold enough here yet for a down hat... Last week it was in the upper 90's.....
Jason, sorry to hear about the dog... Had a GSD with pancreatic enzyme deficiency disorder so know all about the money aspects of medicine and prescription dog food.
Evan, congratulations on the...
Hello all,
Moved this over into Trail Concerns.... If the thread gets into political bashing it will get shut down.... Keep it about how this will affect our beloved trail and it will stay open....

1) Go with a lighter tent if you can...
2) Instead of rain jacket and pants, get a SMD Gatewood Cape... 11oz and it covers your pack and most of you... It can also serve as an emergency shelter....

Already posted over at the Backpackers meetup as well Rain Man, but Jan and I will be there for dinner and the presentation afterwards....
Head over to jacksrbetter.com and check out the Gear Hammock Pack Cover... Comes in a very nice hunter orange color... that's what I use when hiking anywhere during hunting seasons...

The Day Hiker is the name of that store. I've been able to find Aqua Mira in there, but the majority of the content is geared towards day hikers and tourists...
I would agree with this... Met Futureman at the NOC Great Outpost grand opening in Gatlinburg and found him to be a great conversationalist. The book did not disappoint.
I would also recommend "A...
The OP asked the question of should they fear the rumored changes or embrace the rumored changes. As Jimmy Buffett said in a song he wrote about Hurricane Katrina, "If a hurricane doesn't kill you,...
While this is indeed a sad event for Emily and everyone that knew Robert, it is also a time for celebration. No longer is Robert in any pain, and yet his memory will be cherished for all time by...
Just returned from a week's trip over to the park and saw more signs warning of bear activity in the park than in the past, but didn't see a bear the entire trip. Of course, one was spotted at Mt....
I tried to go get my plate this morning in Sumner County and was informed that they won't go on sale until 11/1/10. Something about the software that the county uses wouldn't allow them to put it...
Plan on dry conditions all up in the GSMNP section... Not sure about the Hot Springs part...
First of all, welcome to WhiteBlaze!
Being that you are in the northwestern part of Georgia, I personally would look at doing the section of the AT from Springer to Neels Gap. This will give you a...
