    Olympic National Park shuttles

    Pretty decent cell reception (all I can speak for is TMobile) as long as you are somewhere along HWY 101, circles the whole peninsula. Otherwise, expect nothing.

    Land Between the Lakes shuttle?

    It makes me happy to hear someone else is giving this trail a go, I spent a good amount of time in college trying to do it in one shot, never succeeded! I'm not familiar with any shuttle services...

    Ultra lone peak shoes-yes or no?

    Maybe look into the Altra Timps, they're the middle ground in cushion/support between the super thick 'Olympus' and the rather minuscule 'Superiors'. Any Altra I put on my feet (for thru-hiking...

    stuff for sale question

    At the expense of possibly sounding like a fear-monger, I'd say be wary of Venmo and money transfer apps like it. Venmo has cited numerous security breaches resulting in consumers' banking info being...

    8" boots for ankle support

    Taller boots are probably not the solution, strengthening the ankles would be a better bet. Ankle workouts are typically the kind you can work in front of your TV. There's plenty of YT videos out...

    AT Nobo, is not a Wilderness experience

    You shouldn't base your opinions of the whole Trail on your findings in Georgia. Of course there are going to be ridiculous numbers of Trail Magic at the beginning of the Trail, that's where the...

    Suggestions for a Down Jacket

    Why do you say they are pointless? I loved mine on my hike, never had to be overly cautious around sharp plants or fires and it kept me warm when I needed it to. Isn't that the "point" of a down...

    Steep parts of AT

    For northbounders, the descent into Duncannon, PA was the sketchiest of the trail in my opinion. It's super fine gravel on a crazy steep decline. Albert Mtn. in NC was pretty steep for a hot minute,...

  21. Is 100 miles the longest distance between towns/resupplies?

    The 100-Mile Wilderness is not as "big and bad" as it's made out to be. I'm not a mile maniac and I did it in just over 3 days of hiking. No need for a big resupply, unless you are planning on...

    ZPacks Food Bag or Ursack???

    The point of the Ursack is to have it tied far from your (or anyone else's) campsite, so if a bear does come in for a peek, it won't be near anyone. If hanging your food is too much trouble already,...
