When I did 8, I hung in the last few trees above Janets cabin, heading toward the pass. And I don't remember having a problem finding suitable trees on 9 either.

Thanks for the info and your efforts.

I had thought of that, but it expressly says on his site that if you have a distributor in your country, he won't do business with you directly.

Ok, so Aarn packs, at least the two I'm interested in, are no where to be found or had. And I understand there isn't another production run scheduled until next year. I'm looking specifically for the...

Aarn body pack. I just discovered them myself. Unfortunately, they can be hard to come by, depending on what size pack you're wanting.

I have a Garmin 60cx and that's what everyone that had a GPS on the 2011 Colorado Summer hike n hang of section 6 of the CT was using. It's one of the most popular for this type use.

That kind of info isn't shown in the "Map Book" either. Basically, they took the waypoint info from the Bear Creek Survey and drew a red line across a rudimentary Topo map. A waste of $43.95 IMO. I...

Thanks all. It IS a 700. I finally found a picture of one that looks like mine. It was the lid throwing me off and the fact that there are no markings on it like the current 700s have.

Cholesterol too. I've looked at both the Hawk Vittles and PackIt Gourmet and products. Thing is, I don't know what is considered low and high sodium and cholesterol content. They seem high to me.

I can't find model info on this cup. It's a Snowpeak singlewall and I think it might be a 600 but not sure.

Just wondering if anyone has hiked the Gunnison Spur of the CT, as an alternate section or in addition to the regular trail.

In case anyone might be interested. If you have an iPhone and the Accuterra app, I found a .gpx waypoints file of the Trail that I cleaned up any eroneous points out of, I then ran that thru the...

I've pushed mine back to a July 18th start, out of Roxborough.

Altho, depending on area, Cooking on gas or liquid fueled stoves or grills may be permitted.

That's what I figure.

So, what do you do out on the trail? Use it anyway?

I too am contemplating a CT westbound hike, starting July 1st. It will be my first long distance hike if I do nothing before then. Doing it as a shake down for the AT in 2012.

Just trying to...

Hey all,
This forum is primarily for topics on the AT. I'm wanting to do some shorter hikes, closer to me, in preparation for doing the AT in 2012.

Can anyone recommend some other good hiking...

That sounds good. I'm not sure yet if he's going to want to stay a night on the trail with me or how far he's willing to hike. We could also get a shuttle to the Tanyard Gap/US25 intersection and...

Hey all. For my 2012 NOBO hike, I have a cousin that lives in Charlotte that has mentioned coming out to hike a ways with me when I get to Hot Springs. He's nearing 70 but in good shape, as he's an...

NOBO
Trail Name: ?
Start Date: Around April 1st
Approach Trail: Yes

I'm going to use a WB Blackbird hammock, a 15* bag, and an underquilt for hanging. I'll also be carrying a Thermarest Z-lite short pad for when I find myself sleeping on a floor in a shelter. Or if I...

Is this what you were looking for?

I guess I must be dreaming then, cause I was hoping to get a pair of Asolo TPS 520s to last the whole way.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

My hike is not til April of 2012 so I have lots of time to evaluate, test and change what I pack.

As for the first aide/hygiene kit. It's pretty basic.

A...
