Thanks!
Any report is appriciated!

Thanks, great.
Just to make sure I read the data correctly: NJ has no sign of drought, and NY only in parts that are not near the trail?

Can anybody confirm this from recent expirience?

Thanks...

Hi,
we'll hike a huge section starting next week from Pawling, NY, going southbound all the way down to Virginia.
How is the water situation in the mid-atlantics? Has it been a dry or a wet summer?...

What about a Mountain Equipment Helium 400, which is rated 39/34/3 °F (comfort/limit/extreme).

Thanks again tiptoe!
We've just booked our flights! Yeah, we're going back to the trail this summer!!!
We can't wait to be hiking on the AT again.

Thanks, tiptoe, for the link to the Concord Coachlines. We'll use that.
But Amtrak from Boston to Rutland... we've already found this link, but we thought there'd be a better way to get there,...

Do you have any information how to get from Boston to Rutland, Vermont?
My wife and I are thinking about getting a rental car for this. With a car the...

Ok, now it's time to think about getting there. My search on the internet hasn't brought me anywhere...

I think we'll fly into Boston. What is the best way to get from Boston airport to Rutland,...

Sounds like an issue we have to think about...
Usually we have all our clothes and also the sleeping bag inside these light-weighed waterproof bags (Sea-to-Summit), and they're really waterproof....

Usually we use ponchos as raingear, they cover our body down to the knees and the backpack is also under the poncho.
That doesn't look very stylish ;) but it's good for keeping the pack dry.
Mmh,...

Hi tiptoe :-)
and thanks for your reply.
I guess by "0-degree" you meant 0 Fahrenheit, didn't you? That would be -17°C... that's really cold!
And what you've said about places to stay sounds to me...

Hey, thanks for your answers.
So it seems everybody (including a good friend by private message) votes for "Nobo from Rutland".
Please answer the following questions we're unsure about:
1. How...

Hi,
it's been a long time since I posted this thread, but I just want to give you some feedback about my decision and how it came out during our section hike.

Hi,
you can make the gpx-tracks show up in Mobile Atlas Creator, it's easier then to select rectangles for your maps: In the left column of the program, scroll down, hit "Load Gpx", point to your...

Thanks for your posts.
I still wonder why the width of the Lunar Duo isn't too small for you...?
The length of the tent is important for me, of course, but I also think you have to have space to...

Hey, bigcranky,
thanks very much for your thoughts.
One last thing, could you please comment on the adjustable bathtub floor in the tarptents?
How easy is it to put the sides of the floor down?...

Thanks for your input!

I've already had a look at the Lunar Duo, but my problem with this is the fact that the interior is only 137 cm wide! I think that's too little for us - what are your...

Hi, Papa D,
and thank you for your offer.
We have already decided to hike a section of the AT and ordered a guidebook and some other books and videos about the AT.
Maybe it will be the Long Trail...

Hi,
maybe a user of the Squall 2 can answer my questions, please:

Somebody said that it's better to apply some kind of...

Hi guys,

We've just arrived home after 4 days of hiking. I'm gonna read all your suggestions and my messages and probably answer tomorrow.
Have a nice...
