Wow lots of assumptions here! most notably the at the very end where it is assumed reading this thread will leave one "informed." Not really sure here what the "AT multiplying factor," is but I...
Bigfoot did it in 100 d exactly and posted his progress on Utube, it's called Follow Bigfoot.
LNT is a world of it's own. " carrying out ANY trash you find wherever you find it," is a bit absolute. My intention was to introduce something that people can do to make the trail a better" place...
Be a role model for others, carry out ANY trash you find wherever you find it. I went out with a guide last y (Blue Ridge Hiking) and that's what he did for three days.
I'm planning to start at Harpers Ferry may 1st and head north for three months. Did 300 miles in the south last y. I'm just a potatoe eating section hiker. Three months is max away from work and I...
I get online training with Anish, it's great. If anyone knows core you gotta believe she does. So far the first month already I have noticed a difference. She has a contact on her blog and...
Have you tried the Ice age scenic trail in Wisconsin or through Kettle Moraine state park in Wi? Not at but hilly
There is something about campfires and fire in general that stimulates the imagination.
Native Americans used fire as a tool to control brush and to manage game.
Lightening probably also caused...
weather.gov can provide forecasts and three day history of weather conditions at Baxter SP online. It doesn't confirm the weather as claimed but then it is possible that the weather for Baxter does...
I went to Warren Doyle's Appalachia Trail INstitute's three day class last year and he had a couple thru hike videos you won't find anywhere else.
Maybe look up the ATI online and go to Damascus...
Thanks! I will at least carry a bug shirt and hat and experiment with a net hung from the tarp.
Judging from the last post here some hikers have said they got tired of hanging a bear bag because of the hassle and decided to just sleep with their food. It's clear that sleeping with food...
The first tarp explanation is what I referred to. I am sorry for the confusion. A tarp without anything underneath but a separate groundsheet, pad, and sleeping bag is what I used. It was open...
I used a tarp tent without any problem about two weeks in May in the south. I am planning to hike May-July in the northerly half next year. I am a bit concerned that mosquitoes in MASS and black...
I like supported hiking best, esp when someone is along who doesn't want to hike but loves to camp. Then I might even hike some and trail run some. I enjoy being on the trail mostly to see all the...
Tanyard Gap to Hot Springs, May 2014. The weather had been horrible but the day of the hike it was gorgeous and we went to the top of a lookout tower. Could not fathom how nice the vegetation was...
I got the tape from Zpacks but I thought I would propose the above scenario so that we could start a new five star thread for whiteblaze.com.
What would you do if if showed your younger prettier...
I'm not asking for a whole new sleeping bag and I'm damn happy that didn't get damaged on opening too, just the stuff sac. Less than 10% of the total order.
And yes, I would have definitely...
Final assessment. I love having people's input. Plenty of "friend," i ask about this will all side with me. Obviously no one in this group is trying to kiss up to me. I love free speech.
None...
it's nice to know someone is sensing my disappointment
ZPACKS actually makes the claim on their website that they will accept returns for any customer that is not "completely satisfied." It isn't...
the stuff sac is made for the sleeping bag
ZPACKS didn't use any box of their own prior to shipping. ZPACKS stuffed what they were shipping into a UPS box. If I had sliced deeply it would have cut through the actual sleeping bag too. I...
Here are two direct quotes off the ZPACKS website:
If you are not completely satisfied you are welcome to send it back for an exchange or a full refund.
The only exception to our return...
If you bought a new Vette they would never ask you to drive it off the truck. They would unpack it themselves, then let you look it over completely and then after you had inspected it, they would...
