I have a wedding to attend on Long Island roughly 8 weeks after I start south from Katahdin. Based on my planned daily mileage, I should be between Kent, CT and Unionville, NY (flexible based on...

Starting Sobo from Katahdin on 7/10 and the last piece of gear to nail down is pants. I've decided to go with convertibles for better bug protection with an option to cool down if needed. I'm looking...

Ok I'm in. My brother and I will be flying into Bangor on July 9 and starting on July 10. Anyone have a lean-to they want to share the night of 7/10. PM me if so!

Are these available anywhere? Specifically to fit a small ULA Circuit? Or would the transparency of cuben make the color redundant for hunting season?

Ain't no preacher, just happy to meet ya. Enjoy the trip, my friend.

I'm at 6k of elevation in NM. I've seen as low as -19. But it's a dry cold...

I have a 32 degree I could bring too. Maybe that's the best bet.

I don't have any experience with New England so the biggest area I need help with is over packing clothes. I'll have a 15 degree bag to start. Here's what I have thus far until out of NH

First off, thanks for everyone's input on helping me all but decide to attempt a SOBO thru this summer. I have plans to arrive in Bangor on June 19th, take advantage of Phil Pepin's 100MW special and...

I live in Northern NM and spend a lot of time in the San Juans. What beautiful country. I'd have to say I would prefer to be a year long resident in Durango (it has great amenities, awesome food,...

I currently use a sawyer mini and am looking to upgrade from the 16oz bag for a thru.

I normally carry a 1L Gatorade bottle (for drink mixes) and a 1L soft platy for water. I also have a 2L platy...

The pictures of an ultra green Maine and the fall in Virginia from this blog may have sealed the deal for me to head sobo this year.

Now, I just have to...

I'm torn between 2014 sobo and 2015 nobo at the moment. All logical signs point to sobo this year. I finish a commitment in late May 2014, and don't want to wait around 10 months to start hiking...

On closer inspection, it appears I could shorten the bag about 8" before the zipper starts at the foot end.

So I got a killer deal on a sierra designs pyro 15 long. I bought it on a whim because that low of a price was the only way I could afford a decent cold weather bag. However, it's a long bag and I'm...

Went with the sawyer mini. I hope it is enough for 2 people. Do most carry the syringe or are there other ways to backwash?

Found a great deal on these poles. Looking to upgrade from my do-I-like-poles trial pair of cheap Swiss gears. Any reviews on these poles (Alloy, cork handle, flick lock) or komperdells in general?

I have an REI gift card I need to use up and I'm looking to upgrade my water filtration. I'm torn between Aqua Mira, sawyer, and a steripen. This will be used in warm weather hikes out west (grand...

I bought a cascade designs e case size 12 from a store thy was going out of business. Unfortunately it does not fit my kindle fire, so my loss is your gain. It is brand new, in box. Asking $20 paypal...

I bought this jacket a few weeks ago, as it looked like a dream on paper. I ended up with the following qualms.

-it is sized very large (I'm 5"10, 170 and a small fit a bit big). Not really a...

Again, these are phenomenal suggestions. Just to keep my options open, anyone have suggestions for this type of hike in central va? Would I be sacrificing scenery and variety staying too close to...

Thanks for the excellent and thoughtful replies. I'll bump this up for any more suggestions!

I'm looking for suggestions for a good 2 week hike for my 2015 thru shakedown. This shakedown hike will unfortunately have to be in the mid-summer heat (July or August).

I'd like the start and...

I'm hesitant to go sobo for a few reasons. I'm currently in NM and I need some time to move back east to get settled (plus I want to travel and hike the west for a few weeks before I head back). I...

I currently own a HS Tarptent, Cloudburst 2 (the old squall). I'm pretty unhappy with the condensation issues I've seen. Solo it is not a problem, but with 2 people and a dog it builds up quick. I've...

First let me say that I understand this is my decision to make, but I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

Second a little about me. I'm a 23 yo college grad who will be finishing up my...
