Looking to buy a set of the carbon fiber poles for the MSR Hubba made by Fibraplex. If you have a Hubba that you haven't used in a few years, and want to get rid of the CF poles, PM me.

How do bureaucrats close a forest?

Citrus has two really nice car camping campgrounds. Mutual Mine and Holder Mine. No reservations. If they are full, which only happens on busy weekends, just grab a site at the hunt camp across...

Love both the NO/NM. Put a small sheet of tyvek in the sleeve where the backpanel unbuckles. I did this on a hike, cutting a small square off my groundcloth and shoved it on the outsides between...

I can't comment on the Blaze, but I have the GG Escape. Same exact framesheet and waist/shoulder straps as the as the Blaze, only the packbag is different. I can speak very highly for the Escape,...

Good luck from another TB area member. Hopefully I will be up there on the trail soon.

Klymit Inertia X Frame. Fits in the palm of my hand and 9 ounces for a full length pad.

If he stole the food, then yes there is a victim and a crime. He owes some form of restitution to the rec center for at a minimum the value of what he stole. This is a very short article without...

Agree with Rain Man. Real crimes have victims, no victim, no crime. If he did steal a low dollar value of food items, then he committed a misdemeanor at best. But no, some prosecutor and LEO's...

Go to the Croom or Citrus tracts of the Withlacoochee State Forest. You will not be able to camp near water, but it is easy enough to cache in these areas. I hiked half of the Richloam WSF loop...

I enjoy going to Richloam, but you may want to reconsider the timing of this one. That will be the peak of gun season, and Richloam gets one of the biggest turnouts of hunters who will be running...

Yeah, but the cashiers at TEO are good too. I don't know how they do it.

When did you do this hike? Maybe I missed it from your post, but if you just completed it you were really off-season. That's the way FL hiking is in some of these areas. Many times I never see...

Check out the Ocean to Lake (OTL) Trail. As maicheneb mentioned, it goes thru Corbett and Dupuis WMA's over to Jonathan Dickinson State Park. As for water treatment, all I have ever done in the...

Not hiking for a while. Too hot for a couple months now here in FLA. I really need to move up to GA/NC. I hate the summers here.

I have the Adventurer and have used it a lot with no problems. I just treat the water in my cookpot and pour it into platty's. I'm not worried about using my cookpot for that as I am boiling my water...

You can go to HD or Lowe's, but you will need to buy a whole roll. Check out Ace Hardware. I have a sheet which I bought from a local outfitter who gets his from there. It is different from the kind...

I use the PCT method. I had an idea I am going to try next time of daisy chaining the remaining hanging rope to get it off the ground and up higher. Or you could daisy chain it and lift it onto a...

Why is the approach trail so bad? Is it the hundreds of steps to the top of the falls at the park? I have done that as a tourist. Or is it strenuous after that also? Just wondering.

I second the Suwanee recommendation for The Phoenix. Healthymom, for a 5-6 day trip the Ocala National Forest would be perfect. I don't know what to recommend for 6-9 days though. You can bring...

I use the Princeton Tec "Fuel". Very light, great battery life (they say 160 hours on low) and very bright also on the highest setting. Only about $25.

I had the decagon and it was a waste of $30. I now have the Triad, and it's alright, but you need a wide pot for it since the legs are fixed. For about 3 ounces, you can't beat the Etowah...

Start at Amicalola like you are planning. I would camp the first night in the state park campground. I was just there in April and I think it was $25 for regular car camping. That way you can...

I buy all mine from outdoor wilderness fabrics website. Then I make my own stuff sacks! They are a great source for outdoor materials like that and cordura.

The one you saw at Three Eagles is the same one that is available from Campmor. I was up there last month. I use the one from Campmor, it is nice. A Lectric Shave bottle works nice also, as it has...
