This is also what I did. Budgeted for 10k and planned for lower, but things kind of get away from you. Glad I didn't have to stress about a really low budget

Didn't expect to see someone else from PCB on here doing a thruhike. I start April 1st.

Just in case anyone else is interested... I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to manipulate KML files and edit them with markers, different colors, etc. Turns out all you have to do is load one...

Totally forgot about this thread. Thats for all the great suggestions.

Well, I've got it working. It just takes more time than I'd like.

That gives you an idea what I'm after. The plugin requires you upload KML...

So I am setting up a wordpress blog and intend to post frequent updates and would like a google map to accompany them with the last part of the trail ive done most recently.

I know I could just...

I'm just going with the collective and getting the ULA Circuit. Comfort is worth the extra pound I suppose.

Someone please tell me why a lot of people lean toward the Circuit. Are the comfort levels really that different?

A quick glance at both backpacks specifications tells me the Mariposa is nearly a...

Submitted my resignation today. March 25th is my last day. Will see you all out there!

It makes my heart sad to cut a book into pieces, but it might come down to it. I hadn't thought about it as a deterrent to water damage, but it makes sense.

The UQ will stay as long as it is necessary, the pad will go immediately following the Smokies. I doubt all the cold weather stuff will be shipped off at once, but I figure at some point during the...

I was planning for a mid March starting point, but it seems like it will more than likely be April 1st. Right in time to leave with the huge bubble.

I've got nearly everything in line and ready at this point. That list includes some winter gear that will be dropped at various points. I...

So what is the lightest and longest lasting mp3 player out right now? I like the shuffle, but 15 hrs just is not enough. The ipod nano is about double that which is better, but I still feel like...

Yeah, mostly clothing. I redid it yesterday zeroing anything out that I hadn't verified. I've found that the official weights and actual weights rarely correlate. Most of the rest of my clothing...

Nice. I think my pack weight is going to just edge under 15lbs then. That is good to know

Bah, can't edit it seems. Hit reply too quickly.

For example: my boots. Are those included in my base weight even though they should never leave my feet? What about my 'base' clothing, shirt,...

I don't think I've seen it mentioned in this thread, but does base weight include what you wear?

I understand I am going to sweat and get wet, but there has got to be a jacket out there that is really rain proof. I've looked at jackets from $70 to $300 and every single one of them has people...

Ok, redid everything on geargrams.com. Link is below:

I've applied any advise you guys had to it except for a few things. I'm holding off on the compass...
