    Great trail tricks and Words of Wisdom for hiking the Appalachian Trail 

    1. Categories:
    2. Advice

    On a long distance hike we all learn tricks we never read about in books. Like: Hanging washed socks on my pack with a safety pin, then when they are still a little damp tossing them in my sleeping bag so my body heat dries them completely.

    Canister Stove/Fuel FAQ
    Edited by Yellow Jacket (tlbj6142)
    Q: Can I mail canisters?

    Yes, according to USPS guidelines, you can ship a 1L (or smaller) canister via ground delivery if the package is marked with an “ORM-D” and/or "Surface Delivery Only" sticker. This is the same sticker that must be placed on a package if it contains alcohol hand sanitizer (Purell).<o></o>

The road to Clingmans Dome is closed during the winter.
