Activity Stream

That is, seems like it’s been a while since a Big Frog (or Cohutta) trip report from you. Lookin forward to it.

Looking forward to some Frog action, seems like it’s been a while.

I use SuperFeet. Be sure to make sure you buy the correct color for "your feet".

I am a sleeping bag person. I used a Western Mountaineering HighLite 35*.

The NE mountains can be fickle anytime, but especially late Spring. I usually carry 30° top and bottom quilts that time of year to be sure. Better...

I was happy with the Altra's on the CDT- all 5 pairs. I also need extra cushion and used Superfeet inserts. It makes a difference in comfort. I plan...

Oops, forgot to mention another nice stretche in GA - East Armuchee Road to Snake Creek Gap is good.

Gambit, I live north of Rome, GA, within 20-30 minutes of about six Pinhoti Road crossings. If you need any logistical help between Cave Spring and...

To the person who sent me the PM, I replied (twice) but my response is not showing up in my Sent message folder, so please let me know if you didn't...

Much appreciated !! I will check these out. Bulls Gap to Porters Gap sounds likely and at my current rate of travel would be a 2 and a half or maybe...

If you've liked Altra in general, give Topo a consideration as well. Very similar philosophy in general and excellent build quality. If you can't...

I still had my old Nokia on this trip but will soon be entering Big Frog wilderness with my new flip phone---Nokia 2760 at $15 a month. Results...

I laughed so freaking hard on that one:) Of course it counts !!

I'm so white I'm almost transparent. But I have a daughter that's bi-racial. Does that count?

I would not leave my phone charging unattended unless it was secured, such as the host offered. On my way to town I will usually dump my powerbank...

Sigh, I wish I was out there right now. That looks lovely, even with all the cold and rain. Thanks for sharing these reports for those of us stuck in...

The rock garden is between Porter Gap and Clairmont Gap. Stairway to Heaven is in Cheaha SP. That leaves Bulls Gap to Porters Gap at 16 miles as the...

I'm particularly fond of this little guy. It's just as small as the little "John Wayne" but way sturdier and easier to use.

I just had a epiphany because of an on going thread, make a candle out of it. You could have 1-3 wicks and when done burning the candle for the night...

Only portion I have done so far is from its northern terminus south to the OHV parking 30 miles south. Great section though with minimal road walking

Have you ever tried the super feet insoles from rei? I started out with the Merrells and quickly picked up the green super feet insoles made a big...

Back in the day...we use to waterproof our canvas tents with wax dissolved in kerosene and then sprayed onto the canvas. No candles or flames inside...

I've done section 4 from Porters Gap to Bull Gap, its a good section with great views, not a lot of up and down once you get up to what is mostly a...

BTW, assuming that this was the first test run of your brand new Featurephone: How did it work?

FWIW - One of many things I learned about long distance hiking early on is; back packs are seldom washed. Essentially, they stink unless it's yours...

I usually don't need to prop in the evenings, sleep comes fast when I am tired. However, when I do need to prop myself up I will use a stuff sack...

Given the physiological differences between people, shoe recommendations are difficult. As Gbolt suggests, a trip to REI or other outfitter with a...

Awesome, Walter. Thanks for the report and for the lovely "strange yellow orbe" sunshine picture.
