Excellent. I’ll try it. Thank you.
So I purchased my BeFree at mile 150 on the PCT. It worked beautifully, full flow, ease of use, just as advertised. I completed my hike at Kennedy Meadows South, mile 704. BeFree was still...
I cut one to size, slightly larger than my Neo Air, and use it whenever I find myself in a shelter for floor protection. Of course, I also use it as a floor mat beneath my hammock to stand on, and...
My go to container is the standard size Coffee Mate bottle. 20 ou., screw top, fits easily in a side pouch. The wide mouth is the key!
All good. Thanks.
How did we go from Fires to alcohol stoves for sale???
To those who are out there, what’s the current status of any fires in California? Any trail sections closed? PCTA decisions?
thanks and stay safe out there.
Thanks to all. Once again, WB comes thru! Funny thing. I check REI all the time, don’t know how I missed this.
Hey all. I’ve been researching lightweight freestanding tents to add to my collection. I hiked with a bud who had the MSR Freelite 2, and was very impressed. Even more so, when I found out that...
I guess it’s in the kilt family. It’s a very lightweight fabric, that you simply wrap around your waist. Normally it goes below your knees.
I’ve heard a variety of rain gear options, jackets, pants, Umbrellas ( remember Umbrellas, that’s the initial question). What I have not seen mentioned is the Rain Wrap/skirt. I actually have one...
So we’ve gone from Umbrella? to “ cheekless chaps”. Gotta love the AT community!
I think I’ll take both. I’ve got a 9 ounce Jacket, so that will be my weight burden & I’ll have it if needed.
I’ve got both. I’ve used both. I like both. I’m well aware of the pluses & minuses of going with an Umbrella on the AT. I’ll be heading out to Central Virginia in mid April and I’m thinking of...
Nanatuk. Good luck to you this year on completing your journey. When do you plan to begin the 2022 hike?
I’d like to take a short side bar, diversion to the thru hike/ slackpacking question, which is to bring up the issue of “blue & yellow blazing”, and still calling your hike a thru…. I’ve read...
Hobbs. Regarding the Camino, I honestly don’t know. It was so obvious & prevalent that you get the feeling the Spanish government just doesn’t care. There was one guy in particular that marked...
I’m just back from a few weeks on the AT, going NOBO in Virginia. Shelter vandalism was a much discussed topic. No disrespect to rickb, yes, there are some big time problems to be dealt with, but...
Just back from a 23 day NOBO, mostly in southern Va. Did not see or hear one single Cicada. Oh well, maybe they’ll be there in 2038! Oh yeah, had a great hike!
I’m heading to Tn. today, hiking NOBO from Hampton on Friday. I’ll either see or won’t see Cicadas on my hike. Thanks to all for their updates.
Just curious about the Cicada invasion we are starting to see as far north as Indiana & Ohio. I’m heading out to Tn./ Va. next week for a few weeks and fully expect to see them on the Trail. ...
I concur with gbolt. That said, when I bought my umbrella ( Go Lite) a few years back, I had to jerryrig the thing onto my shoulder strap to make it hands free, which I did. I know that you can...
Thanks all... I’m heading out for a few days in about 3 weeks, and I’m determined to make it a stoveless hike. Will it be different, yes. Will it require a change in mindset, yes. Can I make it...
I just read Gambit’s excellent thread about going stoveless, and wanted to dig a bit deeper for my own personal situation. I’ve never NOT carried a stove, so going cold would be a big change. As I...
