Howdy,

Is there an outdoor shop or any place that sells white gas in Gainesville? (or rather, what is it called...I'm guessing there's gotta be one)

Thanks-

Bandit

PS. If you'd want to...

this is a call to share a ride from Gainesville-Amicalola now. Morning of 3/31, around 9 am. you know you want to. :D

Heyoo,

My partner and I were looking to share a ride on 3/31. We'd love to get a taxi or shuttle or hop in with people who've already got a ride going. (happy to reimburse for gas/pay our part)....

thank you guys for input.

to give you more of an idea, i didn't do anything for a year after graduating because i was frantically searching for jobs and not many companies were hiring new...

So, I dropped the AT bomb on my parents (told them I was going in March), and they are completely against it. Mind you, I'm 23 but we're not an American family...in my family and culture, you...

count me in! i'm starting some time between march 10-20th (logistics haven't been completely figured out yet). another fantastic gal is trying to make things work out so she can join me. otherwise...

dogwood, thanks for your input, i appreciate it. you definitely make good points about how it's hard to tell that she really WOULD be a good trail partner without having thru-hiked with her before.

thanks, these books look fantastic. bought and bought.

Summary: what is one book you've read that really made you wish you were out on the trail? Anything stand out as an AT-fever-inducer?

hey guys,

does anyone have this tent? has anyone thru'd with it?

i like that it's freestanding, packs down small, and doesn't hit the wallet as hard.

i'm not looking for other tent...

JAK, I had no idea diapers were so sturdy. Maybe I can use a diaper as my pack on my thru this spring. Strong, lightweight, AND fashionable. Though I'd probably end up with "diaperpack" as my trail...

HomewardBound, I hope you're enjoying your hike, and happy trails!

When it comes to womens/mens packs, I tend to agree - pick whatever feels best. I'll keep an eye out for men's packs as well with...

I have a 50 liter now, and I know I won't able to get by with it - especially the first 1-2 months. i wish i were that savvy, but 'ultralight' is definitely not a modifier for ol' bandit. 'slow'...

now i feel like i can let go of the desire for a panel loading pack. i guess that leaves durability, comfort, and weight as the key aspects. oh wait...that's EVERYONE's concern, isn't it...
:D

exactly the valuable advice i was hoping for, thanks guys.

Hey! I'm new to this awesome website, and trying to get my act together for an AT thru-hike in '11.

I was wondering what you guys think about pack access for thru-hiking. I've got a front access...
