The JMT and the AT are like comparing apples to oranges in my opinion, totally different hiking experiences, I just got off the LT and I am heading to Kearsarge pass for a 10 day section to Reds...

Hello, I am starting a section on the JMT 8/9/11 from Onion Valley campground to Reds Meadow and wanted to know if snow and bugs would still be a concern. I know that there aren’t any fortune tellers...

12.6lbs without the BV450 so 14.7 with it, and I carry a three season tent & rain gear. Becoming UL is the easiest thing about backpacking, all it takes is $$$! Last year I had a 22lb base weight...

I am hiking Kearsarge Pass to Reds Meadow starting on 8/26 and was wondering what the consensus was on the snow and stream/river crossings by then. I have hiked in the Sierra in September but never...

We will indeed, our plan was to start another thread and document the hike from start to finish, giving updates where and when we can. Including, pictures, trail conditions and etc...

I will...

Right on Stranger, Lo will be stoked to read your post and yes he is my hiking partner. I’m pretty sure that I am in for a shock with the tread, weather, and mud but that is what this adventure is...

mirabela: I actually went to high school in NJ but my wife and her siblings all graduated from CVU, classes of 96, 98, 01 last name Bouchard.

Yeah, I am stuck with my 6/1 start date and I know my plans are ambitious to say the least but nothing is set is stone. I have 25 days to complete the trail so I figured I would just mail myself 3...

Right on people, and thank you for all the responses. I am heading NOBO and will be mailing myself 4 resupply boxes to Manchester Center, Rutland, Waitsfield, & Stowe, we figured on 3 days of hiking...

Hello everyone and good day, I was hoping to receive some sound advice about what to expect this June on the LT. I will be starting my E2E on 6/1 and I have noticed the extreme weather VT has been...

Sounds like some good advice, I hail from VT but live in Southern CA and didn’t get into backpacking until I moved out here so I am not familiar with hiking in weather, except sunshine! I chose the...

I always get a kick out of other people and their hang ups about just going for it, DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE! Hike your hike and leave when it is convenient for you, no matter what, hiking the LT is...

I leave for my E2E on 6/1 and I am bringing a Western Mountaineering Summerlite 32 degree bag. I also am bringing the Western Mountaineering hooded flash jacket, I think it should be sufficient.

So let me try and get your logic straight, you have hiked 150 miles of a 2655 mile trail, but you have it figured out.

You have never hiked in the Jan Jacinto’s, San Gorgonio’s, San Gabriels’s,...

Yeah man I hope you keep your schedule, I will be starting my E2E on 6/1/11, bought the plane tickets so I am committed. I hiked a 175 mile section of the PCT last year in the Sierras starting on...

^^Agreed^^ I also own the Mica and love it, I was able to get rid of my polypro top and use the Mica as a base layer when it got really cold on the PCT.

Side note: I have been looking at the...
