Thanks, obviously for an 18 mpd hiker the times are longer, but I feel like the proportions are close. I wouldn't have thought CO was longer than NM, good stuff.

Dumped the tarp and went back to the tent. Much easier to pitch, lower impact, and more stable.

It was unique. Terrain-wise, much like the AT. Weirdly short - by the time you get your hiker legs, and by the time you get into it, you're staring at the calendar and realizing you have a week to...

I'm trying to sketch out a tentative plan for the CDT and it comes out to about 5 months, does this sound right?
NM: 7 weeks
CO: 6 weeks
WY: 3 weeks
ID/MT (Yogi cutoff, -300 mi): 6 weeks

I'm...

Good idea, I should have ordered the tarp that way. :(

Well said! Literally, LOL. If I have to pair with a bivy, AND craft/improve a site so I can stay dry (LNT no-no) I might stick with a tent. But a bigger tarp seems like it would make the problem...

Hi UL tarp users, I have a 7x9 tarp that I can't seem to get right outside of the A frame. If I pitch half-pyramid, with the long way pointing into the wind, the 9' dimension means that the slope...

I figured I could tie the lines right to the tie-out loops which worked ok. But the tarp just flaps around too much to be useful - failed experiment.

Mods - this ended up being a non-useful...

Hi tarp users, how do you keep the tarp tie-outs or the lines from sliding down the tip of your trekking poles?

Get a job.
Earn money.
Save money.
Spend money on trip.

They don't care. And what law have they broken?

protip: there are ******** out there

I have over 300 on a pair and have the same detachment of the toe from the upper as Pastor Byron, about 1/4"-1/2". All my other 500+ mile LP 3.5s did the same, and didn't get worse. I wish it...

CMT poles are great, but the tips wear out really fast.

I looked at the online schedule and nothing jumped out at me other than a used gear sale. What were the highlights?

Still SOBOs starting, plenty of NOBOs behind me.
North of about Mt. Ellen, good water is starting to get scarce, although with the recent rains maybe that's gotten better.
The section north of...

You should try shoes that fit.

Walk all day with a pack on up and down many hills. Set up camp. Cook dinner. Eat dinner. Lay down.

Thanks for the tips guys.

Both are silpoly. Borah is cheaper. Yama has more tieouts and seam sealing service, but a 3.5 month lead time.

Anyone used (or seen both in use) these? Is there a clear winner?

Who hikes in mud season?

Current: For orders placed after 3/18 @ 430 PM EST: expect your order to ship in roughly 3.5 months. For orders placed earlier within this period, there's a chance that I will be able to ship by the...

Over in 1.

The breed of the off-leash dog is hardly the problem.

Sounds like we have a badass here.

My Squeeze takes multiple minutes per liter. Backflushed numerous times.
