Bump. Still looking. :)

The 15 mile detour is likely due to the fact it's the closest place the trail crosses roads. I'm too lazy to look at a map... Those towers may not...

I concur with gbolt. That said, when I bought my umbrella ( Go Lite) a few years back, I had to jerryrig the thing onto my shoulder strap to make...

I'll take it. Shoot me a PM with your paypal info and I'll get payment to you right away.

Like all gear, it’s a personal choice. I would not use it on the AT. However, if I ever did the PCT I would definitely take it for Sun as much as...

That might be the #1 issue some have with the umbrella. I'm a one-stick or no-stick person.

Horizontal rain is not umbrella weather at any temp. You still want to have rain gear that is appropriate for that stuff even when carrying the...

Can't leave things alone? Must modify? It sounds to me like you must be a victim of CDO...which is a lot like OCD, but in alphabetical...

This is where the concept of Karma is handy to consider. For young vandals I envision them getting older and having kids, eventually, one of the kids...

Plus, it was only having more than one routing that allows them to provide power now. Could have been the opposite, where this line worked and was...

Sometimes circumstances become the decision point where the question can be asked "what would I pay to have an umbrella right now". Or conversely...

We carry a brolly that's 5.5 ounces (Raines skinny mini) and stowes easily. So many advantages of keeping rain off you versus having it drip all...

I am starting my hike in almost 2 weeks. My thoughts are I would rather have raingear until more up the trail because around now it could be cold...

I've been following some hikers on YouTube (because I still have a job and can't hike my own hike yet). Some have elected to hike through the closed...

:welcome Welcome to White Blaze! Maine just updated their information on the Appalachiantrail.org site, though I suspect some of the travel...

I stupidly failed to consider that some start a thru hike would be fat, insulin resistance, hosed up leptin signaling, and generally messed up...

When the bridge - any bridge - is out, you can drive around it. Doesn't mean the bridge wasn't in the right place, or that the detour is a...

I don't leave home without it. It doesn't work perfectly in all conditions, but neither does anything else. When I'm using it on the trail, I...

I would would start with it, if you havent used it within a week or two then you probably wont. Just send it home IMO walking with any kind of...

I think it comes down to how you feel about the weight when you aren't using it and how much use you think you'll get from it. Sort of like...

Reduced: $40

Of note in the article is the fact the power company was able to reroute power to areas impacted by the transmission tower collapse. Makes me wonder...

In the Smokies and the designated wilderness areas, most junctions are marked but no blazes. Most areas are pretty heavily-blazed. If you are at all...

Here you go...

Damn that is sad. I had no idea there were even petroglyphs over on the East Coast. I would have loved to see them. I did a backpacking trip in...

I caught the exact same thing. What was stopping them from taking those measurements now?

Do you have a car? If so, there's a multitude of options from quite a few parking areas at Harriman State Park. Public transit to Tuxedo is good,...

Answer these questions before you can read further. Sorry, I don't think so.
