I have a Squall 2 and like it, usually hammock camp now so have not used it in a while.

I did a 3 hut trip with my family a few years ago. With 10 and 12 year old kids it made for long days but was great.

I just left my car at Pen Mar for 2 nights, no problems.

Doesn't look like they will come pick you up in the notch, that would be nice since most of the hotels I am looking at in Franconia and Lincoln will do that.

Everyone is always shocked that I go backpacking for long periods by myself, they just don't get it. I rode with a shuttle driver who had a good story. He picks up a guy who had never been...

I parked in the lot up by the bunk houses for 2 weeks, they charged a few dollars a day.

Do the do Delaware Water Gap, NJ side then PA side all in one day, should get you around 3,000 of elevation gain.

It has to be better than it was back in the 80s, it was a total road walk, yuck.

It's not that big a of a deal, the rock sections come and go, it's not solid rocks for 50 miles or anything.

It's not 0.8 of a mile, it's almost on the trail, look at it on google maps.

I did GSMNP last April, every shelter was full every night, plus the rangers were ok, I saw people hanging most nights.

You might want to look at the AMC huts in the White Mountains, they are group bunk rooms but the make you breakfast and dinner. Your not gonna be able to stay in a hotel every night in PA.

I did a couple solo hikes at 17-18, not a thru, never had any problems.

If it went through the way it is now you would just have to buy a hunting lic in order to go hiking.

I sent an email expressing my concern over this proposed change

I can tell you T-Mobile sucks up through GSMNP, people would regularaly be talking on their phones and I had no service.

Gear seems to be a big problem on the trips I have done with Boy Scouts. Very often if the parents don't hike the kids have no idea what to bring. Maybe your group is more experienced.

Over 2 LBS each

If you go Northbound you can park at Standing Bear Farm and he can shuttle you to the start of the hike.

I hang my food just to keep it away from mice and racoons.

Got one of these for Xmas, shipping was quick and price was good:

Just got one of these for Xmas, price for the weight seemed pretty good....

I did GA in March 2 years ago with 20 degree top and bottom quilt and was cold a lot, got hit by a big snow storm around Standing Indian Shelter which was miserable, I only use the hammock when it is...

I use a 20 degree top and bottom quilt and I am comfortable down into the 40s, once it gets in the 30s I get cold but I am a very cold sleeper. I have had a couple times where wind has blown rain...
