Getting to Springer is not the objective. I should have said AT or BMT instead. The loop is the point. Not Springer. Bartram Trail fills the bill. Thanks.

Is there a fairly straightforward way to hike from the northern end of the Palmetto Trail or the Foothills Trail to Springer or the BMT? A person could hike from the sea to the mountains on the PT,...

Maybe Panthertown? Bear canister might be required.

I've been wondering how much weight I can save if I bleach the color out of my gear.

Correcting my earlier entry, I logged in, added a piece of gear, logged out, waited ten to twelve hours, found my journal's "last update" date unchanged. Hope that helps.

Added a piece of gear last night. Checked this AM, no update.

I added a photo to a previous entry and the site listed my journal as updated that day.

update:March 18 for start date at Springer

Find work in a sound/recording studio. Work both angles:engineering and studio musician. You'll be doubly valuable.

thanks for some good info. and you're right Tuckahoe64, that is an enjoyable read.

See if I got this right. I use an MSR Hubba. After some brief research, I have learned the two easiest ways to fight condensation are: 1. Use a groundsheet. 2. Stake out the fly for the most...

Here's a WOW for ya. Attempted to try on the Pinnacle (Plasma N/A) and discovered I am a lot bigger than average. Tried a Big Agnes Lost Ranger 15. A little big, but at least I could zip it with my...

Sure wish I could get this bag. Tried on a Pinnacle yesterday, 63 in. shoulder girth. Too narrow. I'd have to give up an arm to use this bag. (I'd get to keep the leg). Sigh. chiggabite

Thanks folks. I understand about the wool. As far as affording the plasma, I thought a good bag was paramount? The weight seems to be good and since it's on sale, it's a better deal than the WM 15...

I need some education. When most folks talk about wearing wool clothing, (socks, shirts, jackets, whatever), is it wool or a wool blend? Most retail sites I have looked at seem to have wool blend...

Maybe you're better off with a 10-K pace instead of a marathon pace?

Thanks for writing that.

Thanks folks, good info. I am doing the round trip to get the distance. And I need to break into the up and down stuff kinda slowly. I live in the Carolina Lowcountry, so I don't get any hill...

I'm thinking about doing a round trip of the Foothills Trail, either late Sept or early Oct. Planning for twelve days. Does that sound reasonable? Any advice from anyone who might be familiar with...

In that part of the south, Feb is often the " most winterest" part of winter. But there's a lot of cold in March also, especially when it's raining or sleeting. And the days are shorter so you spend...

Usually the only floaties I remove are mosquito larvae.

Preparing for my first time on the trail. my fondest memories of the north Ga. mountains include fishing. Are the creeks and streams along the trail hard to get to, or is it more a matter of stay on...

Thanks, you confirmed my thoughts. Guess I'm finished with Half Moon Outfitters.

OK, so you don't like the name. But the question is about the fit. Does it matter?
