I love my Inreach. The only reason I carry it, is because my family and friends like to watch my progress on earthmate.
I just throw my stripped 550 cord over a limb and pull up my food and tie it off to a tree. Simple. Never had an issue
I have a question for the guthooks. Are you planning on an update on new reroutes to the AT?
Never seen them on the trail. When I came across a icy spot I just walked beside the trail
It was on the ATC website
With the new milage this year and the re-routes does anyone know if guthooks is planning on updating their app?
2018 AT miles 2190.9.
Just get lightweight gear. Try to keep your BPW under 18 lbs. I was at 13.5 this year and next year I'm hoping to drop a pound. Always try and carry a extra day's food, I did and it paid off, we got...

Your umbrella won't last. I had 50 mph winds and rain several times and it was always around 40 degrees. I only had one day when it rained without wind and actually I just walked in it. It felt...
I'm 52 now I'll be 53 when I start my next Thru hike
I've seen people cook in shelters. Not the best but when it 12 degrees out or raining that's where you cook. It attracts mice. Big deal. Never had a bear come into camp durning or after cooking. ...
