What is the best way to get to Monson, ME [other than walking 😀]? I am flexible, but looking to be as reasonably priced as possible. I am assuming that a bus to somewhere and then a shuttle is going...

I will be starting my thru hike in early March and I need to get my shoes now. I have been reading older posts as to which outfitters and individuals are most highly recommended in helping to...

I will be running a couple of businesses while I thru hike next year. No choice if I want to do it. I will be using a pad, pen, iPhone 6s and an iPad mini, along with an Anaker 10000 charger. So far,...

I have tried and don’t like carrying water bottles on my shoulder straps. I also have a problem reaching the bottle pockets on my pack. After trying several different options from several different...

Yup, that's why I keep searching. The KUIU jackets are my newest find. I am hoping to find someone who has some experience with them.

As a big guy, with a 53” chest, it is extremely hard to find functional outdoor clothing suitable for backpacking; this is especially true of lightweight clothing, never mind any ultra-lightweight...

I have the LightHeart Duo and I absolutely love it! I will be carrying it for my solo thru hike next year (2017).

No final decision yet on the Approach Trail. I have previously hiked it several times, but those were on section hikes. I am still...

For those of you that use compression shorts/boxers, which manufacturer and style have you had the best experience with?

Sunday, March 5th will be D Day. 80% of my gear is purchased. I am working on menu (I am planning on a lot of FB cooking) and trying to figure out MDs. Feel free to message to discuss any topic. By...

Like many, I don't wear a watch daily but I like having one when I am hiking. Between sweating a lot and having the band interfering with the wrist strap on my poles, I like watches on caribeaners....

Is this the Anker 10000 aMy, at 10 oz, that many are using?

With just a quick look at Amazon, I didn't see the Ankor 10,000 mAh that is being referred to. If anyone has a link to it at Amazon it would be greatly appreciated.

What are your suggestions and tips for filling the dirty water bag? I seem to have problems doing so at least half the time or more.

Thanks WB!

Ditto on SeekOutside’s new Unaweep pack with the 4600 cu. In. and X-Pack fabric at sub 3 lbs. Mine is slightly older and in the VX fabric, so it is a couple of ounces over 3 lbs. This is a great pack...

I use permethrin and deet. Up until now I’ve just been using a pair of tweezers for the occasional inevitable tick. Both the tick key http://www.tickkey.com and the O’Tom Tick Twister...

I've not found any real need to "crumple" first. Just throw it into the washer w/o detergent and then run it through the dryer. I've found that I can cut to exact floor size before washing and it...

I saw the Duo for sale as well and considered a swap as well. However, it is the heavier green fabric so the tent is heavier than the current pewter. Not a deal breaker; but not my first choice.

I purchased a SoLong 6 from LightHeart Gear a little over a month ago and had them seam seal it. It is sil nylon and spruce green with a gray floor. I have used it on two quick trips of 2 nights...

I just downloaded it. It looks like a good read! Thanks.

I have a SoLong6 for sale if you are interested.

[QUOTE=CarlZ993;1964904]Saw quite a bit of pot smoking as well. It was irritating to be in a shelter when someone started smoking away. But, it bothered me even more when it was cigarettes. If...

RidgeHiker, I am moving up from the SoLong to the full 2 person Duo so my SoLong is up for sale. PM me if you are interested and want more details.
