i'll take it!

When I section hiked New Hampshire in July 2017 I had one evening and night with cold rain. I poorly pitched my single wall non free-standing tent on a platform at Liberty Springs Tentsite and...

Thanks again for all the responses!

I've looked at almost all the recommendations given. For one, I've never hiked with a poncho before so not too keen on shelling out $180 for a poncho. I'm...

I've been going back and forth on what layers to bring for a late May start NOBO.

Is a full on waterproof jacket necessary? I'm expecting lots of rain but I'm thinking a jacket is unnecessary...

Thanks all for the tips and support! Trip report coming.

Think Slo-go'en means that if say I get to the boardwalk and it's completely submerged I can call someone to pick me up at HWY94. Yes I do. Or anywhere else along the trail.

Hey all,

Thank you for all the responses.

Here are answers to some of the questions posed above:

I hiked from the Del Water Gap to Bear Mountain Bridge in 4 days last June as a final...

Hey all,

I'm considering going for the unsupported FKT on the 72 mile New Jersey AT section. As far as I can tell from my research there is no current unsupported FKT for this section. The...

I think this is the option I'm going to go with. Since I'm trying to get to Katahdin in 70 days every minute counts, and spending an extra 15 minutes a day hanging would cost me about 50 miles in...

Hey all,

Is Ursack/Loksak a viable option for the entire AT?

I would like to avoid hanging as much as possible. I know the GSMNP requires all food to be hung, anywhere else?. I used this...

I'm a teacher, so I have my summer off. The idea of an AT thru-hike has slowly gained momentum over the last couple years. I've always thought...
