You might want to call the Flight School in Augusta and ask if there's someone who will pick you up and deliver you to wherever you want. When I started my Long Trail hike a few autumns ago I had an...
I hiked from Rutland to Hanover NH three Septembers ago. Not only did I find it easy (by New England standards), it was the best part of Vermont. I carried a 35f bag, slept in shelters, and wished...
Four out of five mosquitos surveyed recommend hiking this time of year. You will be among many of them. A few years ago I hiked Baxter Park about then and was eaten alive. Glad I had my headnet and...
I bought a dozen P-51 openers (like the P38 but a bit larger) for ten dollars. Gave some away. For a few grams I do carry one, though don't carry cans any more. On a resupply I might just want a......
Nine days is doable. Hitching is easy in Vermont except for the northernmost part.
.08 Liters? That's the size of a thimble.
Since buying a 550ml Toakes, I've not carried my MSR 850ml pot. In three season camping, less is more.
What religion discourages hygine?
I went 11 days on the Long Trail southbound. The tub needed some attention after the shower.
I bet you will regret the 40f setup a few nites. June, July, August from VA to VT...I'd go for it. Get your winter gear in Glencliff.
I've learned my two pound, 35f bag is neither of those things...
I agree with everything in this sentence.
Not interested in joining you--I did it southbound in September of 2021 and thought it was challenging. The LT is a trail I have zero interest in doing...
Time changes many things, but WalMart in Rutland had medium fuel cannisters in autumn of 2021. An easy walk from bus station.
Love it. I get the low salt version.
Instant mashed potatoes, dehydrated green beans, spam. One of my 4 main dinners.
MSR Dragonfly. Burns auto gas with no issues. I've had mine since they were first introduced and still use it in cold conditions and car camping.
I agree with Astro. I did the Collegiate Loop last fall and thought it was great. Start and end at the same place.
But 100 miles on the Colorado Trail: start at Monarch Pass and head north to Twin...
My experience with motorcycle camping is not recent, but I've always been attentive to size of packed materials. Were it my choice, in conditions where I'd carry a bag for lower than 40f, I'd go for...
Long ago I used the hanging candles referenced above in the wintertime for both light and warmth. With two people in a small light tent (like a Eureka Timberline 2 or a TNF Westwind) I'd bet that in...
As a student of Chinese martial arts for decades, I can unequivocally say that few would use the phrase 'black belt in Kung Fu'. There are dozens of disciplines. I happen to be a senior student in...
"Not Without Peril" by Nicholas Howe
I'm thinking about the purchase of a new one-person tent. Made by a smaller company called Slingfin, the SplitWing Shelter Bundle is the front-runner in my search. The link is here:

Do you happen to know the difference between this bag and the Marmot helium?
I stayed there in October of 2021, and I thought it was great. I gave them $20 for the donation and thought it worth every penny. Laundry down the hall from the sleeping room. Hot, blessed shower....
Rather than soap, I'd suggest dragging a candle across the opened zipper teeth. More inert than soap.
Yea...maybe. I did the Mahoosuc Notch years ago. That was a once-and-done event for me. Just like the Tripiramid hike I did a few days ago.
I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks for the water and bad shelter report. Does anyone have Intel on the current shuttler's list? Or where to point me for info?
