I am wanting to purchase a feathered friends sleeping bag for a potential thru hike and I am going back and forth between the 10 degree Petrel and the 20 degree egret. Can anyone chime in?
Thank you...
You guys inspired me to do the Smokies this year.
So far I plan to use walk in the woods shuttle for my trip from Fontana to Bear creek. Can anyone recommend other shuttles in the area? Standing bear is not an option as they only shuttle at 8am for...
I am planning a section hike this year in the Smokies. I am wondering If I have a reservation lets just say on a Tuesday night and they close the shelter I have reservations for what am I supposed to...
I did not know Laughing Heart did shuttles. Wish I had known that!
ALRIGHT PEOPLE OF ERWIN OR NEARBY OR TRAIL ANGELS WITH dog food he should be walking into Erwin Friday night give or take.
(I last saw him on Monday morning at Flint Mountain Shelter. He and his...
Thank you I will be looking for the tent area's you mention above. Did you see a homeless guy? I heard today there is a homeless guy and a hurt dog in the area and that the homeless guy walks around...
Found this over in Reddit.......Sorry if this is a dumb question - I'm not from the U.S, So I don't know how this is normally dealt with. There's a homeless guy that goes by the name 'Nameless', who...
I have other sections but I am about to do Hot Springs to Erwin for the first time. Anyone have any good tips for this area? Side trails I should not miss or best places to tent etc...
Thanks in...

Same with bears, watch out for the Lone males.
Same here, since I like to frequent there I just went ahead and bought a bear can.
Whoops, I mean to reply to this quote "Surprising they haven't tried the simple solution. Posting at each access point (with a copy of the map shown in the links to make it easier to see which area...
Actually they did. I was there in June and there were signs up everywhere. People were ignoring them. People were still camping and still attempting to bear hang and the bear was still getting their...
ATC (Revised 8/30/2018) Mount Rogers/Grayson Highlands area of Southwest Virginia temporarily CLOSED to camping due to bear activity.
Due to increased bear activity, approximately 17 miles of the...
I have done everything from Erwin to 19E and survived, ha ha. I heard about Pond mtn but no one talks about the hill SOBO from below Dennis cove to over Dennis cove. I really want to see and spend...
I am planning on a section hike from Hampton, TN to 19E. Looking at the map It looks like a 5 mile straight up climb from Laurel falls (Dennis cove in the middle) up to the Moreland gap shelter. I...
Funny, please report back and let us know who wins.
Ditto, you said it so well. I just love walking all day in nature.
I think I put the wrong shelter. I will be hiking from Iron Mtn Gap back to Erwin and heard not to stay on Beauty spot and stuff about a road running thru the area.
I plan to hike Iron Mtn to Erwin, TN for the 1st time very soon. Where is a good place to pitch a tent? and where to find water. And also Guthook is not showing any water from Clyde smith to a mile...
He's back!
Why is it that the trail always seems to have the bear problems. Using Grayson Highlands as an example why are all the bear problems on the trail and shelters and never in the family campground at...
I actually kind of looked for the bear at Thomas knob, hiked all over and never saw it. I camped several times at Grayson last year and never once saw a bear. Recently hiked thru from fox creek to...
? where is that? I only know of the one in Denton, NC
