i kinda just wish people would leave this guy alone......

obviously, there was a reason for him going out for a stroll.....

let it be...

i got hit by a knockoff keen site....

shoulda known the deal was too good to be true..

but, i paid PPGS and filed a dispute..

since the scammer also spoofed a tracking number, at first PP...

so you're saying it can be done.....

yeah.......i dont advocate it but you know that someone will try to make that argument......just like the emotional support animal arguement.....





since im guessing that asking for one's...

ahhh.....did not know the pass would cover entrance fees since my main places of hiking don't involve entrance fees....

the website is not really clear about front country camping----other than to...

what if one claims they need the poles to walk?

i dont advocate this sorta along the lines of a fake service dog but don't think
that TSA can deny something that helps one walk...

the Smoky's are a National Park.....

That is not under the USGS umbrella.....

so that would be a no......

I cannot attest to what other places along the AT that this card would cover......

heh, heh, heh------as a 51 one year old, who goes back to his pre pubescent years, i found this to be funny......

cause like white wise, i like the pink noise over the brown noise....

ok.........thanks...

twenty five years of watching/shooting/editing video all day long for work has taught me
not to watch but the rare, occasional video......

i will watch tv and movies but i...

do you mean then sleeping on ground under this?

i read it as OP wanted to use poles to support the weight-----" if needed, I can set up my hammock".......


that's where my line of thought...

i've tried it once or twice-----it still keeps me up.........

for me, it's just another noise source....

i literally cannot wait for the end of summer, when i move again
and get some land to...

i'm a really light sleeper.........

and it's awful..........

i hate sleeping in a shelter as a result of this, along with other issues...

i typically get the best sleep when everyone else...

and if one thinks it's a lot of trouble now------think about it after a long day of hiking..........

likewise, no hammock....

and likewise, i don't see how sticking a thin pole into the ground a couple of inches is going
to support a person who weighs between 60 pounds and 200 pounds........
...

careful there------believe OP is a "she"...

and just to add-----in the Smoky's, you can't use the shelter to hang..........

gotta use trees or anything other than the shelter.....

although i didnt watch the video nor do i use a panel-----a test over 3 years is what i like when it comes to a review....

i hate reviews that say "we used this tent for one...

this is true....

i started hiking in that area in 96 and thought it was trashed up pretty good....

there was going to be another set of elk to be brought in, but the first set was so successful that they decide not
to do it.........

maybe he's still stuck.....

a hog is rare to spot in the backcountry......

mainly moves at night but can be out during the day....

and they seem (at least in my experience) to be more skittish than a bear.......

saw a bear getting chased by a momma hog and her hoglets deep in an off trail area
in the smokies.....

years ago, along lakeshore trail, between CS 88 and hazel creek----I spotted this big black mass that was just lying on the ground....'

it was in a little dip down on the trail and curled up.........
