I use it usually, I keep it on theater mode as well, and just use the built ins for mileage, pace, elevation change, etc. I’ve never done more than two days on trail, so I didn’t need to recharge at...

If that looks to be too hard for you because of the rocks, you could always to SNP to Harpers Ferry.

I have a jetboil, but not the all in one. I got the MightyMo. I can put the fuel can right into my pot when I’m done, the stove sits in the side pocket of my bag on top of my pot/fuel, and it doesn’t...

Somewhere buried in the food/cooking section here is a post i started when I was hiking on Keto, lots of good info from the other people here in the thread.

Gambit, I’m not sure if they would be a mail drop, but I’d be surprised if they said no if you ask. I’m going out there later this week to talk to them and see if they have put a sign up on the PATC...

For those starting thru hikes or even longer section hikes this year, there is now a wonderful hiking supply store in Front Royal, VA. It’s about 6 miles off the trail head, but there are shuttles...

The trail head at front royal or the B&B up the street is where I park. When are you planning on doing your trip?

Wonderful! I wanted to be sure it wasn’t going to be much of a concern. I’ve got family just past bears den so I’ll be resupplying there if need be. I’ll pack jerky/cured meats like I planned and...

Hey all! New backpacker here! I’m planning to do a shortish section from Front Royal to Harpers Ferry(54 Miles) this spring. I’ve been looking at food options and wanted some input on whether to...

There are a few rough patches, especially right now with all the rain we’ve gotten. I don’t know how far into front royal you want to come, but there are a couple dams on the Winchester side that you...

The Shenandoah and Potomac rivers are both up 4+ feet in the Loudoun/Clarke counties in VA, parts of the trail outside of Front Royal are washed out.

I had been planning on 4 days for it, but I wasn’t sure if that was possible at all. Thanks for the reply!

How long did Front Royal to HF take you? I’m planning the same trip for later in the year, but don’t really know how long to plan for it since it will be my first section.

What size torso would you say this fits? I’ve been looking for a pack and REI fit me for a large Osprey Atmos pack, I just don’t want to spend that kind of money since I’m just getting started.

It may not count, but when we first started doing day hikes to get in shape for longer hikes we did 8 miles from 522 in VA headed south. I drive past the trail head every day for work, and the day...

A good snack that my wife and I rely on both for gym days and hiking days are called “fat bombs”. Usually coconut oil with nuts/dried fruits/nut butters mixed in, and maybe some flax/hemp/chia for...

This was a huge help for us.

If you could that would be nice.

Hello all!
I’m new to the backpacking scene, and am looking for used hammock quilts. I’m trying to keep initial spending low, at least until I know I’m going to stick with hammocks for the majority...

PM’d about jacket and pants

TexasBob, probably the same magic they use to make powdered milk. I’ve never questioned it and, like spam, never wanted to know how it’s made.

Egilbe, we get crashes after carb heavy meals, but I didn’t use to when carbs were a larger portion of my calorie intake. It’s very possible it is an insulin, and blood sugar, spike. Doing a lower...

@gnomad powdered butter? That’s a new one to me.

Rio and rock, I’m glad to hear that we aren’t the only people in the world taking on the crazy venture of hiking while doing Keto! Rio, congrats!! Hopefully it’s helping everything else! We haven’t...

Franky, 8 hours is pretty normal for us, my wife’s a Nurse and might each a “real lunch” once a week, and I’m (surprise) a chef, and eat a full lunch less than that, our biggest issue starts on our...
