I just moved from Michigan, lived there most of my life.
Looking for info on the PNT. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Maps, guide books, best time of year?
Food and more food. Has always worked for me. I hope it works for me this trip. I do think I have been eating to much these last few weeks though.
3 weeks to go.
Well Bought my ticket today. So I will be doing a AT nobo hike.
Starting March 13th.
Doing the Approach Trail.
See you all out there.
"How many of you have wanted to or have hiked the triple crown?"
Did it, loved it. Out of all three the CDT was the hardest for me, and I am not sure i would do that one again.
Thanks for the maps Parkay. Planning on doing these two this February.
I am looking for some more ideas for a power breakfast. While on trail, I am drinking 2 servings of carnations with powdered milk. I also eat a Balance bar about 30 minutes later. That is about 600...
Thanks for the mud info. I was going to be on the AT through that section and wasn't sure to continue up the LT or not.
Is it possible to start the long trail the beginning of May going North? Or will the weather and bugs just be to bad?
I hope to be moving to Portland at the end of the year.
I wear them when I wear shorts. Keeps the socks clean and the rocks out of the boots.
I will add you definitely need one at Warner Springs.
CONGRATS Great that you stuck with it. :clap
I am by Port Huron. Let me know if you guys do any hiking in Michigan I might be able to join you.

Is anyone starting the 1st weekend of February, the 2nd or 3rd? I am not thru hiking. I am just going out for 2 months and wondering if anyone else is starting that weekend.
Anyone in the Michigan area going towards Springer the first weekend of February? I really hate that bus ride.
[QUOTE=RITBlake;301000]leave the nalgene home and go get yourself a 32 oz gatorade. Just as durable but lighter!
Need the Nalgene in a January-February start for a hot bottle, I would not trust...
Go with the Zero degree. I took a 20 degree and started in March. I froze my buns off a few nights.

When I do cold weather hiking I carry a emergency blanket I was thinking of switching to this product and was wondering if anyone has any feedback on it.

New York was my least favorite state. Really was the pits for me. Bad water, overgrown trail, a little burned out. My mood picked back up going into Kent, CT.
I am looking for 1 or 2 songs with just Acoustic guitar no singing. Any help?
