Looking to aquablaze SNP tomorrow or Thursday. Anyone know an affordable company to use? Already hiked SNP, so no talk about not being a thru hiker, etc. Thanks :-)

I've done a decent amount of cold weather camping. I guess my main question was, how cold is it for how long? I'm fine in my light down jacket until it hits about 40, then it gets cold. If I'm asleep...
Katadyn Hiker pro or sawyer inline water filter for a thru? Why/ why not? :-?
Thanks Greek, that helps a lot! Good luck, stay warm, I hear it's a chilly one out there!
I think I'm going to take an extra jacket. If it's too much I'll send it back at Neel's Gap.
Trying to figure out what clothing to wear is a PIA. I'm starting my thru 3/20. I plan on wearing a wicking t shirt, long thermal shirt, and a Patagonia UL down shirt. Warm enough or add another...
Others have answered this pretty well, but t-mobile has horrible reception on the trail. I had t-mobile for all my sections and got 1 bar... maybe that if you moved a 1/2 inch the wrong way would...
Not compatible with my Samsung ACH :-( Guess I'll just have to look up ;-)
Great idea :-) I'll be e-mailing it to myself then. Never got the cloud thing to work....
This is a useful thread! I would print my permit out before I leave home... but I lose things... I lose things a lot. I could see my permit floating away on top of a mountain and having to buy a...
I intend on asking for a tour when I arrive to drop off the dogs. Hopefully it is as amazing in person as the pictures appear to be! The facility is in southern Virginia, Cascade (I think) is the...

I'm a horrible writer with even worse spelling. This is my first online journal, so be forgiving! Enjoy :)
Update:
Found a dog farm in VA that costs more than I wanted to pay, but is exactly the situation I want my dogs to live in. It's a rural farm that is secured. She's been allowing dogs into her...
I wish they could hike, but there's just no way. The younger one gets tired just walking around the block, lol.
Ever4ward- thanks for the idea of contacting puggle rescue. I'm waiting on a reply...
Exped Synmat UL 7 is incredibly comfy and lightweight. I've slept on a ton of rocks and never felt them (I sleep on my side). I bought the schnozzle, which is a large dry sac/ pump bag, to inflate...
Good luck on your thrus everyone! Thanks for the idea P1nkpanther- never considered Craigslist. Sawnie- you're lucky to have a supportive family that is willing to help you!
What did you do with your dog during your thru if they didn't hike with you?
I've had one for 5 years, the other for 2. They jump at company and occasionally play fight, otherwise are well mannered and sleep a lot. I have a groomer and trainer checking for me. Vet appointment...
Nope, the house is already rented, so seeing how I'm technically homeless now, the dogs have to go somewhere or be sold. I really really do not want to sell them...
I've been offering $ for...
They're 2 puggles. 1 is 30 lbs, the other is 22. I'm in York, PA.
I thought about posting on the dog forum, but that said "dogs on the trail", this is "dogs staying at home" ;-)
So everything is working out great for my March start... except for what to do with my dogs. My family refuses to watch them for 6 months. The long-term boarding options are crazy expensive, and they...
Iv to start but that might change

March 20th
Approach Trail - maybe... still deciding
Less than 2 months to go :) Is it spring yet!?
Rei booties are $27 right now on the main site, not the outlet. I've used them for winter hiking the past 2 years. Highly recommended for toasty feet :-)
REI down booties plus the thick smartwool socks are incredibly warm. A jacket may work, but don't expect it to stay put. Check the REI outlet site. I got my booties for $20 a year or two ago.
Shuttle available at wilderness voyageurs. Contact info is available on the website

My thru attempt was cut short due to Sandy's aftermath (16"+ snowdrifts). I would recommend calling the park office and asking about snow and trail conditions. Agree with others, get permits. There...
