Maybe try shuttling or hitching to asheville and try to find a craigslist ride-share to get you to springer? Probably be more successful if you were trying to shuttle from a populated area.

Wanted to also note that I am a paid member of backpackinglight.com with around 590 posts and probably around 20 gear swap transactions in the $40-300 range. My username on the site is the same as...

The patch (as pictured) is on the right side of the enclosure when it is near your head, and on the left side when near your feet. I hope that makes sense. Another way to think bout it is that it's...

Well I've only done about 100 miles on the AT, but have a lot of backpacking experience in Appalachia. I'll be about two months healed from a knee injury tho, so when I start so will be feeling...

...meant two days earlier. I'll effectively be leaving Springer on the 7th

What's your hiking pace like? How many miles are you looking to do each day early on? If you were leaving 3 days earlier I wouldn't find much problem with having a fellow noob to stumble around with

I will do my best not to crap in my bag of trail mix, but I will not make any promises.

Am I too freaked out about this or was I just much less aware of how big a problem it could be? I mean, I already planned to avoid shelters and hostels as much as possible for other reasons, but...

Unrelated to the thread, but could you share some items that can be purchased along the trail that work well for freezer bag cooking? I get a lot of the instant rice and noodle type entrees that...

I would never leave for a hike without my $10 Casio. Funny that 'time' is too much technology to be carrying for some folks, but they'll have no problem with carrying the latest hi-tech materials by...

Hand sanitizer could help by reducing the surface area on your skin (getting rid of dirt and other contaminants) which would otherwise be something for the virus to cling to? Just a thought.

Anything on the statistics behind this? In what manner is it most often caught? Is managing water well the best way to defend? What are good food practices to help against the spread? I will...

Sounds like an amazing birthday gift to yourself! Enjoy

Have done this exact section before...you will love it! Lakeshore Trail is by far one of my favorites in the Smokies, and the Lost Cove section gets so little use for how beautiful it is. Have fun!...

Will be using this only for hiking and gear related videos, on the trail videos and some well-edited post-hike videos. Currently have a short video from a recent snowy hike...

Couldn't imagine carrying a canister for the entire trail. Did a two day hike with in Pisgah once and wanted to blow it up with fire and hatred when I got home.

ooooh boy, getting close!

Would never consider leaving my Kindle behind on a lengthy hike. The idea that only camp junkies are bringing things like a Kindle is a myth as well. Not sure why it is perpetuated, but most of the...
