I always call first and talk to a person then they usually redirect me to forms etc. That has a way for someone to be on track with your stuff instead of just relying on e-mails and other...

The original tarptent moment is singlewall while the new updated moment is doublewall fyi.

I owned and beat to hell the original tarptent moment on back to back thru-hikes of the AT and PCT. I...

Another vote for both!! Instead of gatorade bottles though I used two smartwater bottles and a 2L platy bag. I find the smartwater bottles easier and more streamline to fit into and take out of...

Cascadia's are great. THEY DO RUN SMALL. So take note and try some on before going online and buying a pair. I used the 6's for the last 300 miles of the PCT and they still have some umph left in...

Downloading now!! Can't wait to see it!

When your out hiking make sure its in a stuff sack in your pack to avoid it getting punctured from other things in your pack. This also means that you should think a little bit about what you stuff...

Further Stream tonight!!!

Also....you're missing a mp3 player. Nothing like crusin' down the trail with a solid Scarlet>Fire blasting!

If you are on a budget then you gear looks fine. A little bit heavy but not to bad. Starting down there in June you aren't going to need the long johns as mentioned above. I'd keep the extra pair of...

Brooks Cascadias are really nice and comfortable. And they have the coolest tread on the market!

Trivial argument. If you are already out and a burn ban goes into effect then there is no way to know. You keep on doing what you do i.e. using an alcohol stove responsibly. When you get into town...

I wouldn't worry to terribly much about weather especially starting mid-may. That being said, you ARE going to get wet, soaked to the bone wet and then some eventually. Most of the advice already...

Staying Found by June Fleming is pretty invaluable

that being said a class and hands on use is the greatest way to learn

any and every type of packet i can find.

HA! I used my half melted lid for hundreds of mile when I thru'd. If i only knew then.....that pot made it through another thru-hike as well but it's starting to show all the abuse it has been given....

second that.

Its unheard of black bears to attack after being startled yes but making noise will startle them and thus make them b-line it like their ass is on fire in the other direction. That'll keep em away.

Wind Rocks in VA

Bear Rocks in PA

Two really great places to catch the sunset

Is this the Island Pond in NY? If so its an awesome place. I nero'd there when I thrued and camped right by the big rock jutting into the water. Nice place to cool off.

Just be disciplined with zero's and efficient with nero's and you should have no problem. If you want to hike like that go for it. The hardest step is the first once you get out there and keep a pace...

bump for the DW moment. Easiest to set-up and is engineered well all around.

Yeah the scented bags run out of scent after a short period of time. Even synthetic trash compactor scents are no match for hiker gear stank.

Having used the original Moment on my AT and PCT thru-hikes the past two summers I am so happy Henry came out with the DW. The modifications fix pretty much all the problems I had with the moment....

I thru-ed last year and didn't take the detours that were mentioned for the poodle. I rubbed up against it a few times but dodged it mostly, never got any reactions or rashes. I think its one of...

I would definitely not be worried about bears or hanging your food. That being said like others small critters could be a concern if you are sleeping in/around shelters. I've found if you clean up...
