I’ve had good luck with my gridstop arc haul (2017) and LiteAF Curve 40 (2020). Both are more water resistant than typical Osprey or Gregory packs used with a pack cover. However I use my Zpacks and...

I had an Ohm 2.0. Great pack! But for me it was redundant with my Zpacks Arc Haul. I never liked rain covers so I stuck with my arc haul.

I’m not in the market for a McHale but $1000+ for a lifetime pack is a lot cheaper than my 20 year history of $250/year in search of the perfect pack! I’m a gear addict. My name is Justin and I have...

It’s easy to talk about mileage but it’s not the only variable and I’m learning that it’s not the most important measurement for me. I have recently learned to pay a lot more attention to elevation...

I’m typically a hammock sleeper and keep my shoes under my hammock at night. Back in 2014 in the Dolly Sods, I woke up to some animal noises, decided to go take a leak, and couldn’t find my shoes. ...

I have imitation crocs and the traction is about what you’d expect... fair. Bigger issue for water crossings is that the crocs tend to float up and fall off my feet as I shuffle.

I ended up going...

I wonder if you’d get the same sort of self-righteous pushback (TNhiker and others) if you would have omitted the fact that you’re a church group.

Step 1 - divide the MH meal into 2 quart sizes ziploc bags and discard the heavy and bulky foil pouch.

Step 2 - eat. I make each quart sized bag last a whole meal by combining with a tortilla or...

Best info will be in the notes of Guthook - highly recommend getting the app.

I’ve done all of this part, but I did it in October which is likely a bit drier than Aug-Sep. The southern part of...

PS. You sure it was The Priest? There’s blue blazed trails that bypass Three Ridges just north of The Priest near Maupin Field Shelter. Just north or Rt 56.

I have an Enlightened Equipment rain wrap. It’s good but I need to sew or glue on a Velcro tab to keep the 2 halves from blowing open in a good wind.

The kilts are small, light, and easy to put...

I’ve had AT&T for years and interestingly I’ve been getting weaker signals in cities over the past several years! On average, AT&T has better coverage along the AT in VA and southern PA, followed by...

Anyone here have any first hand experience with either the Curve 40 or 46?

I haven’t done it but it’s been on my list for a while. Frozen (Outdoor Adventures) has a pretty thorough vlog on it.

Plenty of reviews of the LiteAF 35 and 40L packs, but so far haven’t seen any reviews of the Curve 46 with optional load lifters. I’m curious if they’re effective at all, since the load lifters are...

I have the garmin in reach and I’ve been happy with it. I generally turn it on in the morning, send a text to my family, then turn it off until a lunch break and do the same. I’ll turn it off again...

Love my Arc Haul for year round use to include the occasional bear can (ugh I hate those those things). And ULA makes fine packs.

It seems that YouTube is filled with great videos of people going...

I hate my Bear Vault 500. Ugh.

I love my Arc Haul (bought in 2016 I think) and it’s by far my favorite pack. Also love my Duplex (2018 purchase) that only has about a dozen or so trail nights but has been great as well. Zero...
