Sorry, meant to say the angled MC10...
Nice! I have the older single level E05 and see that they've updated it for three output levels. Fenix make great flashlights. I have the angled LD01 for my motorcycle kit as well.
I have a Fenix LD01 and a Fenix E05, both single AAA battery driven. The LD01 has three intensities and the E05 a single. They are a bit more expensive than Walmart models but since I only carry one...
Filadelfia, I hadn't realized till just now that you are the playwright. You have a remarkable talent. I was a bit nervous about bringing my non-hiker wife but she very much enjoyed the perspective...
Well, I saw it tonight with my non-hiker wife - it was great! Highly recommended for all hikers and their families, as well as anyone who wants to understand more about the trail. Playwright Brenton...
Thanks, Filadelphia. I sent Melanie my ticket order confirmation.
Just bought tickets! Will let you all know how we like it.
The $1 to ATC code is only for the first night.
Not the AT, but close (PCT) is Cheryl Strayed's "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail". I'm reading it now and it is very good both in style and content. Different trail but similar...
I've put around 350 miles section hiking in my Chacos and love them!
Definitely a water snake. Along with garter snakes, the most prevalent snake in the US. Nice shot. They make good pets once you calm them down. They can be a mite nippy at first.
++1 Me, too. I'm a hammock hanger and after a couple of backyard trial nights with my new hiking buddy I realized he just wasn't able to get comfortable with the idea of me hanging over him (along...
Can't believe I'm the first hammocker to reply, but on a cold rainy night a HH bottom opening hammock... pee AND stay warm & dry!

I went through the same evolution from boots to trail runners to sandals (Chacos). I'm 56 and a section hiker, and have 300+ AT miles in my sandals. I had the same feelings about ankle support that...
Some other titles on general backpacking / hiking / survival that can be found in e-form:

Two that I've found in e-form are:

She was a beautiful dog, Seeker. All of us that love animals and share lives with them feel your loss. I'm sure her 13-1/2 years were all the better for being with you.
Good trivia! I had to Google it because my guess was falling. The real answer is surprising. Thanks for the fun question.
I currently use a Canon A1000IS which weighs 7.85 oz all in - camera, strap, 2 AA lithium batteries, padded case, Aloksak ziplock bag. Previously I had a Canon Elph which weighed just a little less. ...
By the way, the eGear PICO LED Zipper Lite is a nice little light comparable to the Photon Freedom. REI had a sale on them yesterday for less than $5...
I'm with RJ. For section hiking I primarily use my Princeton Tec EOS headlamp (3.5 oz w lithiums) and a Photon Freedom for backup (.25 oz). My son has the Energizer and it has served him well at a...
I'll jump in here with my experiences in mp3 players for backpacking. My preference is for players that use standard AA or AAA format batteries. I have several proprietary battery players but don't...
Just started the epilogue tonight. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
Sad to say, it looks true:
