Noted. I plan to mark geographic coordinates, on top of photographing each shelter individually, as well as any, and all points of interest, road crossings, and side trails included. Where to find a...

I met him in Connecticut about 20 miles from the border of New York (he was heading northbound). He's a very tall gentleman with a white beard that extends past his waist line. Quite old. He's real....

Have you hiked the AT back, and forth in one shot, let alone continuously for years? That's out of this world.

No mention of "Free Man". From what I learned, he's hiked the trail back, and forth continuously.

Thank you! :)

Trail shoes. You'll regret wearing boots after awhile.

Greetings,

I'm not entirely sure if there are guidelines in place within this forum regarding "Crowdfunding" Campaigns (I've done my best to look), so I'm going to be genuine, and respectful (I...

Can anyone point me in the direction of (preferably bulk) miso powder?

I found out about "Cold Mountain Miso", but it appears you can't order any.

How MUCH snow would I reasonably expect, though, starting in February? That's my main concern. I'm very schizophrenic when it comes to winter. I love winter, and love the cold, but you know what? I...

I believe it's June/July.

30 would be my ideal weight limit at the extreme. I would prefer to keep it closer to 20.

Last year, I did a section of the AT from MA to NY, and around New York, I really started hitting a wall. I found that my motivation for doing it was self awareness, understanding my limits, and...

Early March seems more sensible to me because it would give me a better time frame to finish before it gets quite cold in New England, but I'm just paranoid because when I did a section hike (MA -...

I just went up Jefferson in June, and it was freezing even with the sun pouring down upon us.

And you're from Boston! Good man!

Were I to start before April, I would expect near freezing temperatures, and snow in GSMNP? Sweet.

I don't have a time frame, but finishing it by September would be extremely ideal (life, etc)

How much snow would typically be expected in the Smoky's hiking from April 1st?

I was contemplating an earlier start date than April 1st, but snow seems much more likely before April.

Seriously considering a NOBO thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, but not quite sure as to when I should start.

I'd prefer to avoid snow (mass accumulations). If I have to hike through a few...

I just did a section hike worth 80 miles encompassing the entire Connecticut portion of the AT, and parts of MA, and NY. After such, I've decided to consider a thru-hike in 2014 because even after 80...

That's a very sexy pack, and even at almost 4 pounds, I would still be under 10lbs. Is it better than the one's I've been looking at? It looks more comfortable.

I'm definitely aware of the limitations of my two-of-choice. I'm not sure which is better, but I'm leaning on the EXOS based on how it looks. I've also been looking at Hyperlite's Porter Pack (as it...

I'm currently looking at Therm-a-Rest's Prolite. Is it worth the $100 price tag?

I'm looking for a backpack that's generally capable of carrying 35+ pounds (upwards of 50), but isn't actually heavy (frame, etc), pseudo-UL, or UL. I prefer internal frames. Right now, I'm torn...

I noticed that there are four towns on the AT in Connecticut (on the trail map right on, or off the trail). Are they all accessible from the trail, or is Kent the only real place immediately...
