PM me for a better way to sling your food bag line.
I have many of same preferences. Bear encounters are rare and you hang your food: the bears are attracted to tents where the food is. You can tent near other tents w/o being too close. I've done some...
Please please keep track of where you are. and learn to use a compass and carry one. maybe the folks who say the trail is well marked will be OK. But the compass can SAVE YOUR LIFE if you find that...
buy 50' at an army surplus store. just be sure it is 550 paracord.buya 18 oz plastic jar of Gatorade powder to store it in. drill a 1/4" hole in the top. when you get to camp dump the cord,fill the...
Please change my start to Monday Mar 16-rock steady
Bemental is right-on.That's the best counsel you can get.The footpowder helps me-no prob so far.(Do NOT ask Bemental what Chesty Puller recommended for his men's feet..:) )
Agree with all the above! I've only hiked Springer to Chattahoochee gap (N of Low gap shelter) I took off at Jacks knob W over to Brasstown Bald.(!!only after I advised homebase where I was going and...
hey! good hiking! You already know this but with a compass and map job one is put them on a level surface and ORIENT THE MAP. take care and God bless
Thanks a bunch! Hot weather taught me a hard lesson:do not let your water supply go down! thanks again
Somebody tell me where the spring is at Woody. I went thru there Labor day and missed it-Big Mistake (to quote Bryson;)).I'll be NOBO again but more careful this time. Thanks!
I was wrong.Jarrard Gap is part of the zone where canisters are required.I called the forest service to me sure and the regulation includes the campsite at Jarrard Gap.Sorry.
I would not assume that a ranger wants to harrass me.You can if you want to, but there's a chance that the ranger is out there for some other reason than harrassing hikers -- or campers (wink wink)...
Thanks everybody-I've been thinking maybe april 01 for ticks. Yikes! Heading to the garage shelf that has the permethrin...
Slo-go'en got it right: stop at Jarrard Gap then its a beautiful walk (5m) over Blood Mtn to Neel Gap. Definitely stay at Blood Mtn Cabins. Good hiking!!

Breakfast I like 2 packets of oatmeal w/cashews or peanuts and crasins or dates. drop all into a freezer bag & add hot water. Lunch tortillas w/peanut butter & honey. The oatmeal is super...
Give N Georgia Mtn. Outfitters, Ellijay a call.706-698-4453 Travis is an experienced hiker and helped me a bunch when i was getting my footgear.
HooKooDooKu is right on.The word ludicrous is not too strong.Our waste needs to be buried--away from camp.Think about norovirus and dysentery.If you don't care about yourself at least show some...
I agree that you won't need more than 2L for Ga, NC,TN IMHO. If it were me,I'd take the 2L and a Nalgene if you have it or your 2 bladders. My plan is to camel-up 1L Gatorade after breakfast then...
My prayers go out for you. I agree w/all the above posts.A lot of friends are praying for you! Take care and God bless. Keep us posted.
Right! I agree that we should wait till we get to the bridge before we jump off it. We got lots to do B4 Maine! Somebody here on WB said they've worried about lots of things thru the years and none...
PM me if you want to.I agree with forget stun gun:accuracy is not there and no way to re-load quickly. The pepper spray is a good idea if you are aware of your surroundings and wind direction. IMHO...
Thank you Yonderway for your openness. I will start my thru in Mar also.Likewise high on my gear list is a paperback new testament w/psalms & proverbs.I'm a layman churchmember and if we cross paths...
I may have mis-used the word 'tarp'. I'm thinking of just a temp rain-deflector or snow-deflector to give be working room while I pitch my tent. It might be handy if a bad storm hits us between...
