Thanks for all the feedback. Based on the info, I convinced my hiking partner to do 4 nights from Albert Mt to NOC. Out of the 4 section hikes I have done in the past 10 years, this was by far...
I took guthook. It was a totally amazing product. Between water stop statuses, hiking distance left, elevation, off shelter camping spots, marking campsites, and other stuff, it was everything I...
Thanks, I start on Saturday.
I am worried a little about the temperature prediction. Google.com had 'Wayah Bald Weather' at 29 degrees for Monday night. I can't seem to find anything else...
I am hiking from Albert Mt to NOC from Saturday to Wednesday (8 to 10 mile days) and am curious about if there will be any water issues along the way. I see rain is in the forecast so I am not really...
Thanks... it costs a little but pales in comparison to my new tent... and sleeping bag.
I have taken an AT Official Map on prior trips but my current map is from 2008. For my section hike (in Nantahala), I found out online that one of the shelters has been taken out while another...
thanks for the responses.... It turns out NOC doesn't do shuttles, or tent camping, they have showers, and the info they gave me about parking is not quite what the deal is.
I did get a hold of...
I thought they did but checked the website and it didn't mention those things. I will check with them tomorrow.
A friend and I are thinking about hiking from around Albert Mt to Nantahala Outdoor Center, a little less than 40 miles. I think around the NOC would be a good end point but I will need to get some...
That section south from NOC looks really good on my map. It looks like there are lots of shelters, water, and a few balds. I assume that camping on a bald is probably an option.
Also, NOC is...
I am thinking about a 5 day hike sometime either July or September/October. I would have to travel from Central Florida so I am thinking either GA or southern NC would be best. I am specifically...
I never updated by experience but I ended up going in 2017 and had a great time. I plan on trying to get back this year.
I took yall's advice and have signed up for a week.
Thanks for the feedback.
I was thinking about doing a week hike on the AT but was having trouble finding hiking companions in my area.
Instead, I am now thinking of just doing a work week, probably with Konnorock Crew.

Thanks for the posts. Maybe you are right StubbleJumper. The cost of the airplane ride might make up for the price difference.
I have been doing some AT hiking the past couple of years and am interested in doing a hiking vacation with my wife but with a little more civilization. In Europe there seem to be a number of 'inn...
Here is a link for a summer quilt.

Couple of things...
1. It doesn't have to be as complex as that is. I ended up basically with a 6ft by...
If you have access to a sewing machine, you can make some really cheap and good equipment.
Questoutfitters has a G4 Pack kit for less than $50. It is 14 oz and 4400 cubic inches.
Thruhiker...
Just got an email from thru-hiker that I should receive a shipment fairly quickly. It turns out it seems they ship form NJ.
Thru-hiker is in California. I am looking to get somewhere closer to Florida.
If I can get some ASAP I will be making a quilt for my trip starting a week from Saturday.
Thanks for the feedback...all positive...(except for the virus thing)
I am doing a week hike with 3 others and two dogs. We need a place to spend the night before along with shuttle service and car parking. Any issues or recommendations concerning Uncle Johnny's?
I have an inexpensive single walled tent that does not hold up in a heavy rain. I am thinking of trying out waterproofing the tent. Maybe using seam sealer and a waterproof spray.
Before I do,...
I am hiking for 5 days in October and it looks like we will be sleeping as much as possible in the shelters. With that in mind, I want to supplement my standard blue-pad with something else to help...
