I'm a little worried about head room and condensation...but I really wanted a new lighter tent....too many choices. Everything seems to have drawbacks. This link might be helpful too:...

Hey Sir Limpsalot, thanks for your comments. So what all can you tell me about your tent. Can you set it up in odd spots or does it really need to be set up in fairly level places? I have a no-effort...

You mean if its raining so hard you get spray underneath the rain fly? I've been in some pretty heavy rain and never had any spray under my rain fly....on the other hand, my current tent has bathtub...

Hi i'm looking at the Six Moon Design Skyscape Scout tent. I was wondering if anyone could tell me their experiences with this tent. Also, has anyone purchased the front porch option? Thanks!

Has anyone worn the campmor brand convertible pants? I was just wondering if you liked them and how they fit. . .

I have more or less given up on the outdoor type pants and gone for polyester or...

i think Im mixing up the roads. Thanks Lone Wolf :)

19E at Carver's Gap is still safe for parking, right?

I won't be going till April...I'll hoping the white stuff will have melted by then, surely! (or at least most of it) :)

Thanks for all...

Can anyone tell me where I should park to day hike the A.T. in this area? I'm going back for a college alumni thing and would like to do some hiking. I'm not sure where to get on the AT in the area...

I'd take the 15 blue kazoo. I'd also take the down sweater and possibly wear the fleece....and or take the goretex. :) I hate being cold and wet.

I like the pro packs. Better size for me in terms of amount of food and they seem to take up less room in my pack. Not too heavy either. The pasta primivera and the beef stew are yummy. The lasagna...

Has anyone by up to McAfee Knob since we got dumped on with all this snow? I NEED to go hiking, but don't want to get my car stuck in snow/ice up on the mtn. Any idea if the parking area is...

I gotta disagree with ya on the dangers of carrying a revolver inside a pack -- it would take an awful lot for somethiing in the top of your pack to shift and actually pull back the hammer or the...

Well I disagree. I sleep cold and I've used my TNF 20 deg. Cats Meow below its temp rating and I was warm and snuggly?!? Maybe I got a good one..?

hmmm If Lonewolf were around and you asked him about sleeping bags, he would be the first to tell you that Campmor's down bags are excellent (lots of people say this, though I've not tried them).
...

LOL....I had a crap car, but got rid of it b/c I was afraid it would break down on the way to the mtn. lol. We're taking my boyfriends truck...but I'd sure feel bad if anything happened to it b/c I...

on another topic...has anyone had trouble with vandalism recently at Newfound Gap?

Thanks for the info! I got a camping spot at Smokemont! YAY. I'd rather sleep outside anyway.

SOooo when was the last time you were at the Grand Prix? I've heard its gone downhill in a major...

it doesn't have to be Gatlinburg, it could be Townsend or maybe Franklin or anywhere nearby? I don't know the area...maybe a campsite would be in order...

Does anyone know of any hiker hostels in the Smokey Mtns -- specifically around Gatlinburg, for those not wanting to stay at a creepy hotel (or alternatively, for those who are poor, and can't afford...

I backpack in mine and love them. I have bad bunions (born with them) that I'm getting ready to have surgically fixed and they are the only shoe I can stand wearing. ONly issue i've had with them is,...

sooo whats the deal with the approach trail? Is it long or somethin? (I know nothing about GA) :)

Have any of ya tried using something like this to get moisture off your tent rainfly before packing it after a rainstorm or heavy dew? I'm looking for something that is lightweight, sucks up the...

This may be a dumb question, but can you wear liner socks under the sealskinz? Would it help with the sweat issue?

what sorta shoes do you have? Are you wearing cross trainers or something? If so, I'd say go with something like sealskins socks. I've heard of a lot of sucess with those and plan on using something...

has anyone heard of any bears problems in this area recently?
