Sorry, don't mind this post, this is just a test. Just trying to get my signature to work. Carry on. lol :P .....

I am leaving Springer Mtn. for my thru-hike on March 25, and I was wondering what to pack for food to start out? What would you pack? I'll be carrying an alcohol stove to start off. I am clueless as...

I have someone to pick me up at the end of my NoBo thru-hike, but does anyone know where the closest road is to Katahdin for them pick me up? And, roughly how far from Katahdin would it be? If you...

I bought a cleaning kit for my Platypus reservoir which consists of a 16" reservoir brush and a long, flexible tube brush. The kit weighs 88 grams. These may be a really stupid questions, as I'm new...

I also forgot to ask: Where should I bounce my 20 deg. bag to in the north? Thanks again.

Hey, guys. I am wondering where I can switch out my Feathered Friends Swift 20 deg. mummy bag for my el cheapo 50 deg. rectangular bag? I will be leaving on March, 18. I figure I'll need to mail my...

Yeah, I'll be using Z-Pack's 2.2mm Spectra Z-Line and a small biner for hanging the bag.

Trail name: None yet. I'll keep you updated.
Direction: NoBo
Start date: March, 18, 2012
Approach trail: Hell yeah, it's all part of the adventure! I want to see Skippy the skunk if he's still...

I am down to the last few items I need to purchase for the trail, and I want to buy a dry sack as my bear bag with an odor liner to keep animals away. What size do you think I need? Keep in mind that...

Hey, Stats 2012. Yeah, it is missing a blade. I'll be carrying a larger knife for general purposes and for defense (hopefully not against humans, god forbid! I don't want to sound like a psycho!). As...

Hey Camping Dave, that was a little unnecessary. Certainly three things you mentioned: a medical kit, bear bag, and a guide book are essential for the thru-hike I will be doing. If you have any...

STICK you've always been helpful! Yeah, I got a little carried away, I don't know what I was thinking listing my GoLite Tumalo suit (I picked them up because of your YouTube post. Bought 'em on sale...

I had an impulse moment and bought a Sea To Summit 10L folding bucket. I'm starting to think this was a wasted purchase. I thought I read somewhere that it is handy to have one. But, now I can't...

I am buying separate dry sacks for my sleeping bag and clothes, and was wondering what you thought of the Granite Gear Überlight cuben fiber dry sacks?:...

I bought a pair of Patagonia Advocate slip-ons for camp shoes (see link below). They weigh 0.63 pounds (size 10). I am trying to pare down my pack weight as much as possible. Do I really need them?...

I thought of carrying the Leatherman Style PS for my thru-hike (see link below). It's only 1.58 oz. It seems a set of pliers might come in handy for jammed or off track zippers, as well as a pair of...

I am relatively new to distance hiking, and I want to know what essentials to pack in my medical kit? What's in yours? Thanks.

I asked a question about the new XLite pad a while ago, but I since picked up a NeoAir super cheap so I'll ask again: do you think the 2.5 R-value on this pad is warm enough for winter? I have a...

Are chlorine tabs readily available along the trail, or should I mail-drop then in? What's your take?

Hey guys, I've been getting deeper into the site, but you've been really helpful with any questions I've had, so thank you so much! Anyway, I've been wondering what you guys have to say about bear...

I am looking at the new Therm-A-Rest NeoAir XLite pad that's coming out in Feb. 2012. Here's a link: http://cascadedesigns.com/therm-a-rest/mattresses/fast-and-light/neoair-xlite/product

Hey, guys. I need help with food selection for my thru-hike this year. I am so used to the amenities of my kitchen, that I admit I am a little daunted when it comes to keeping meals relatively...

I'll be thru-hiking this year, and I was wondering which state parks or other areas I need to register/sign in with along the trail? Does it cost any money, and are these "registries" easy to find...

Sorry for my stupid question!:) Do I need to register with the ATC and WhiteBlaze to get recognition for completion of the trail? I mean, how do you prove that you hiked the whole thing? I know it...
