Thanks for the input folks. I think 10-K hit the nail on the head when he said "If you have to ask you probably know the answer." I've told my kids the same thing many times over the years. I strive...

I love my solo hikes, but I also enjoy having someone on trail with me. My wife is all about an occasional day hike, but hasn't been willing to go for an overnighter yet. I have a friend, former...

Ordered my poles online Sunday night, got them today. Shipping was less than expected so I got an email Monday telling me the new total. Good Service, Thanks Quest!

I have an Osprey that is collecting dust. Great pack, just not right on me. I keep going back to my old REI External frame pack. I just picked up a GoLite Pinnacle, and will soon see how it does....

I second OutdoorsMan on the BA Lost Ranger. I'm 6', 235 and I have the same set up and love it. I stay comfy as low as 25F, to 50F. After that I just use a liner. I caught a BA Lost Ranger on...

Awesome, thanks for the feedback.

Ron, this would be great. The Microtel gets packed with traffic from the Dragon, and there isn't anything else close by.

Anyone used Quest Outfitters before? I'm looking for a set of aluim poles for my Vamp and their site looks prety good. Any concerns, or comments?
Thanks

Another doc is a definate yes. I had PF about 10 yrs ago and finally worked through it. I wear boots most of the time (I work in EMS) and use cheap Walmart inserts. I also bought a pair of...

Anyone worked with Bemberg Rayon lining material before? I picked up some that was marked down at a fabric store today and am thinking about a summer quilt with this and synthetic down. It's fairly...

Congrats on your success. I battle with my weight constantly. Having to maintain a specific max weight for work makes it difficult most of the time. If they only made diet scotch...

I currently have a Eureka Solitaire that has served me well for several years. I have considered upgrading to something newer and lighter. I'm not an UL guy, but as I get older, a lighter load has...

I was in Slaughter Gap 2 weeks ago and the folks at Vogel State park said they were having frequent reports of 2 diff bears raiding camp sites within the park. We camped just past the Duncan Ridge,...

I used to wear one, but I quit wearing pants and that improved alot of things. Lost 3 lbs on my overall loaded weight between pants, xtra pr of pants and belt. Much cooler in the summer, save money...

Possible, We get up there every month or two. We also spend some time at Cades Cove, Klingmans, Fontana, and Stecoah. I work in Atl, so my time is split. I'm the old fat bald dude that refuses to...

Took my 2 of my sons (10 and 12) for their first overnighter last night. We chose the Coosa Trail from Vogel state park (thanks for the rec folks). Headed out yesterday around 1 pm. The boys were...

Thanks for all the suggestions.

At work, we actually use the same product, just a different name, to package patients when they are flown in the helicopter. They are great for thermal regulation, especially when it's cold out. I...
