Shonryu,

How do you find the fit of the Golite Selkirk jacket? I notice some reviewers complain that it is too long. Concern would be extending below a rain jacket.

I'll try to remember to let you know when I get back the last week of April.

I am headed to Hot Springs this week for a section from Dick's Creek north to Hot Springs. Everyone I have talked with has said parking at the trailhead at Hot Springs has been safe and the...

The 1.7sl is on back order not the 1.7dl.

If you have all the equipment there's no reason you couldn't. The few permits you need like for GSMNP can be obtained just before you enter the park and you don't have to do any mail drops.

Thanks, that would be good. I'll call and check.

For a shorter time period like you're talking I'd be fine leaving a car at the trail head, just concerned leaving it for a couple weeks. Anyone have any or ideas?

I'm doing a section hike in 2 weeks from Dick's Creek to Hot Springs taking 2-3 weeks. I've got a shuttle arranged down to Dick's Creek but need to find a place to leave my car in Hot Springs. I've...

If you're considering going SOBO in March you should make sure you understand what the weather and trail conditions will be like.

I second this thought. Maybe I'm to picky but there are plenty of times when finding a limb that allows you to properly hang food is not so easy to find. When I stop at night and it's getting dark or...

Just saw that Icebreaker has end of season 25% off sale going on.

:confused:I'll be headed NOBO Dick's Creek to Erwin starting 10/07 for about 3 weeks. Anyone have any recent info on water conditions on any parts of this section?

I'll be close but a little behind you. I'm leaving Dick's Creek 10/07 going to Erwin. I guess that will put me in the Smokies during your time frame.

I'll be going NOBO through Smokies about that time. Anyone have more specific info on water conditions? I'll be going from Dick's Creek to Erwin starting 10/07. I've heard there were some dry...

I'm planning a section hike starting at Dick's Creek NOBO to Erwin starting about Oct 6th or 7th and planning to finish about end of Oct. I'm looking for suggestions on where to leave my vehicle and...

I leave in the pad it comes with, a 3/4 length Z lite doesn't work for me, and carry a thermarest prolite full length for my old bones.

I have the Mariposa plus which is pretty similar to the Gorilla and have been very happy with it. My pack weight with food and H2O is 27 lbs and it has carried very comfortably.

Thanks LW, most of what I had read made it sound like not much in the way of resupply.
