Eric, great to hear you're still out there! Good luck on the rest. Can't believe you're still out in all this crazy weather!
Did a trip similar to this last Dec. from South Bass to Tonto and out New Hance. Pretty hard to get lost on the Tonto, but some washes are trickier than others as noted above. You biggest concern...
who cares what it looks like...
Did I see something about doing the Maine section in 10 days...? that's 280 miles, and the southern part might well be the hardest part. 28 miles a day with no days off? thats the time to slow down...
mb fits small because the Japanese aren't as slothful and fat as we are...get one size bigger than you normally would.
I agree. This section was nicknamed A**Ram Ridge last year by a few people.
Pack weight should be what it arrives as. Trail weight I find to be a lie in most tents, but I think it's supposed to be the tent without the manual and other little garbage bits. Fast pack is fly,...
Start whenever, end whenever. Typically most start in March and April and end Sept/Oct. There are no times you absolutely cannot start or finish. My advice: TAKE AS LONG AS YOU POSSIBLE CAN! Once...
Thats great ATTroll! I wasn't trying to say the pages was unusable. If I could have found it when I lost mine, I would have bought it again. With more references, it could be the book to go to....
I can only state based on what I saw, so this is in no means all inclusive. I saw equal amounts of the ATC and wingfoots among thru-hikers this season. Not as many had the pages. I think that the 4...
is this the walkie tyalkie that just thru-hiked the AT? If so, Congrats!!!
Don't think he meant anything by it LionKing. That's he name of a thread that people are discussing the topic.
Congrats LionKing! Your videos have been great to watch. I wish you all the best!
Congrats Sunbeam!
I hit single digit temps several times in the beginning with my 30* bag and was fine with some extra layers on. It all depends on how warm or cold of a sleeper you are. It can be done and it can be...
I used a 30* the entire way this year, Started in March, ended in early September. There may be a few cold days at the beginning, but grin and bear it and you'll come out ok. Good luck to you!
I'm very envious of you. I read your register entries all the way to Maine when I could find them. Good luck to you! ..and congrats!
I used the vapor trail (though it's more like 3000ci) on my thru-hike and it worked out great even with 6 days of food. 5 days of food was more like 8 by the time I hit Maine. You'll get one helluva...
Sorry to hear it Bilge Rat. Hope your summit day was glorious. be safe!
I cared less one way or the other if he made it, but he was very nice when I ran into him in the whites. He even stopped to talk for a minute, even though he was already behind schedule. Good for...
I also heard that they bowed out in Monson, although I have no idea if this is true. I did not see them in any registers after Monson either when I summited Sept. 6th. I;d like to know as well what...
Great for on the go use. I hiked some this year on my thru-hike with a gentleman that used one. His only complaints were that they lasted only 200L and that they were hard to find along the trail. He...
Mt. LeConte, 16 miles round trip from the AT. Very worth it.
Good luck with everything Wrongway! Lotus and I missed all your antics on the trail. If you ever find another pair of crutches somewhere make sure you have a video camera present. I still have faith...
