I’m using a milspec poncho, which I also use as a ground sheet, and like for the versatility. I hate the fact that it’s 1.5lbs, and am looking at the ZPacks and Luke’s Ultralight as other options....

Not to be pedantic... :)

Interesting, I have an Exos 58 and have no noise from it, perhaps it is/was a weight issue...are you at the upper limit of the bag? I am intentionally heavy, around 30lbs, as I prep for my thru-hike,...

In Episode 15 I draw a page from Jeff Foxworthy and do a “you might be a thru-hiker if.” I think you might appreciate these quirks and others of our little community, at which point you get your sign...

Hey, we’re likely well beyond the initial post but this is a topic of such consequence that it continues as a thread.
My experience is that, if you tell someone straight up that you have been there...

Tagg, I think I get your point. The story has changed from him carrying it IN HIS HAND but reholstering and apologizing for startling you, to he pointed it at you, to him now carrying it in a ready...

Ok, two fold.

One, coming in after hiker midnight you cannot have an expectation that previous arrivals have taken liberties. Thus, it is appropriate to be respectful in working with your fellow...

I’m trying to wrap my head around the definition of an a$$hole...why does the mere presence of a firearm cause you such fear and dread, particularly when the guy carrying it was clearly very rational...

It depends, so you can expect a full spectrum of responses and opinions :) One truism beyond all other opinions, you will get wet no matter what you are wearing. Beyond that, the primary...

And do you feel like you got some useful suggestions? A number of us tried to provide substantive responses, highlighting media resources to help educate them, tools you could use for them to track...

Spot on, this was exactly the design, fill, weight and performance reviews I was looking for in a bag. Looking up Montbell put me on to other options as well, but I think this is the one, we’ll see...

Yup, she’ll be carrying it. I appreciate the lead and will go check it out, thank you.

Ladies, I’m looking for your experience with spoon/hour glass/relaxed mummy style sleeping bags for my side sleeper spouse. I’ll take any guidance you can provide, but I’m shooting for <3lbs, EN15ish...

Sovi, we are departing o/a the same day and we had an eerily similar thought on the hammock/tent consideration. I am vlogging my trip and just walked my viewers through the evolution of my shelter...

All predators and scavengers possess an innate curiosity, so anything new to their environment gets inspected to assess whether it’s a food source. The predators and scavengers along the AT have been...

Ash44, understand that your parents concerns are about more than your safety. You’re 21, which means you have spent the last four years getting your Bachelor’s degree, or have been working and...

Thank you for clarifying, I actually thought our friend had telepathic powers or something really cool through which he was communicating. What a let down...

You’ve been a member of this internet site for five years and on at least 192 occasions you have successfully posted to this internet-based forum using some kind of gidget, gadget or...

Of course it is personal preference but I am new to trekking poles and found they improve my speed and endurance by helping build a hiking rhythm and distributing the weight on ascent and descent....

Oventoasted, this is trail magic for us prepping, thank you.

Although Goldilocks has long since moved on, as a 2Ker or not, for the folks asking themselves the same question I have a perspective for you. Having a bit of experience with CIA's hiring and...

Mid-Feb is the plan, exact date TBD
