Who would be excited about a weekend trip in the fall? I am thinking more of a base camp/ easy walk in site location with some...

Congrats man!!! Wow what an investment of time and effort, I know that off trail bushwacking must have been tough especially with the elevation changes!

So what's next?
More Palmetto? ...

Starting about half way thru my AT journey, maybe a bit before, I started really dialing in my water management. Its a hard skill for some! Came pretty naturally for me, take your miles to next...

I will be starting a series of threads to promote activity. The first I wanted to share a lot of you may already know of, try to adhere to or have not hear about it.

I have experienced high winds on Jane Bald in the Roan Highlands multiple occasions.
1 trip I used my Hilleberg Anjan2GT and the other I used my Stratospire2. Both tents held up great. If I had...

I preach all the time, I will take used high end gear over new cheap gear every day of the week.

For one, most of this "used" gear has never see its first 100 miles on trail and what most would...

There is roadside parking just up the road at the trail crossing however I bet if you arrive and talk to the owner/ caretaker it wouldn't be a problem parking right there at it, either way I would...

Nice! That is an under rated section in my opinion. However, I believe winter backpacking as a whole is under rated.

I am sure some will not relate, but for others it may hit home...I will use myself as an example.
For many trips, I would say the majority of them...Day 1 & 2 are high moral basically no matter...

Nailed it. Facebook has more or less consumed the internet audience for most activities; its not a whiteblaze thing, or a hiking thing...its a platform thing.
We also have to look at how these...

A good idea. Especially as a replacement to your wife having to do all that driving. Still not a bad idea likewise

Hey I get it, sometimes its best to go with your gut/ resolve even if it means a bit more legwork, if it puts your mind at ease its worth it. Same as driving back to the house to check that the...

Well to clarify they didn't want a day to day plan. They just wanted to know where I was getting on the trail at if outside the Table Rock SP. its a real great trail tho

PinballATL this is not the answer you are looking for, but I am curious why you are against the trailside parking? If luxury/ nice vehicle is the case I understand but if its just a daily driver I...

Larry you carry the correct trail name, you are in fact crazy. In 13 years or so on the forum and hiking community I think you have successfully lived up to your name in every instance of published...

This past weekend my very best buddy and I took on 48 miles of the Foothills Trail from Whitewater Falls Rd to Table Rock State Park.
What a trail!!! Totally blown away at the amount of work that...

Any update on this? Everything fell off on facebook which isn't promising. That is a dedicated pet owner hands down. Hope all turns out well.

#1 - try a pack on prior to purchase. You can try it on at REI etc and then buy used.

#2 - Nothing wrong with buying used gear. Just make sure your price matches the wear of the item.

"I...
