The jacket stuffs into the left pocket, inside out. I had a chance to take a closer look at it today. Makes a nice pillow for us hammock campers.

I have the Royal Falcon Jacket and found it to be just fine for my purposes, it keeps warm after I stop hiking for lunch or at the end of the day. I've gone out and spent a couple hundred dollars on...

The MA hike has been moved to the spring of 2014. I'll be hiking the New York section the third week of this September and doing some trail work with the ATC the last week of August. It's going to be...

The hike shouldn't be a problem then. I'm up before the sun and usually on the trail by 5:30 or 6am. Hiking 18 miles in 12 hours will be cake work. I'll be doing the New York section in several parts...

I've finished the NJ and CT sections; NY and MA are now on my short list of near future hikes. I'm looking at Mid Sept of this year to complete on of these two. If I hike MA this is what I'm thinking...

I used the Frogg Togg Poncho great wind breaker and kept the light rain out; but not very breathable I was sweating up a storm after a few hours of hiking.

You are not allowed to camp within 2 miles of Sunfish Pond. Choices are the established camp site south of Sunfish Pond or Camp 2 miles North of Sunfish Pond. There is supposed to be another Campsite...

Ran into a SoBo hiker in October that picked up a travel guitar in Vermont. I thought it was a little crazy at the time, then I realized I was carrying more weight on my section hike then he was for...

I did that same hike in October.
Day 1: We pushed 14.5 miles but never made it to the intended camp site. We were 1/2 a mile south of the campsite. We stealth camped off the trail just before the...

It's an overnight two 32 oz Gatorade bottles would be more than enough. If the OP has a filter, you can fill up in the stream near Mohican, if you press on there is a stream just south of the...

Heading North on the trail from the Rte 80 Trail Head there is a Back Packers Camp Site (No Camp Fires). It's 3.6 miles north of Rte 80. Once you get 2 miles north of Sunfish Pond, you can camp off...

I'm planning this same trip for April 2013. I'm planning on taking Amtrack from New Jersey to Gainsville, GA and the using Hiker Hostel for all my shuttle service. Hiker Hostel has a shuttle service...

I'm wishing I didn't leave my canoe in Virginia. I have it chained to my shed down in Chincoteague. Jamesburg has started evacuations in town along Manalapan Lake and were way inland. Be safe KK

I had the opportunity stop by the shelter, it is a beautifil loking place with great views. It was nice to be able get out of the rain and eat lunch.

Water wasn't issue for us on the trail, all the streams were flowing, but you should have a filter or Aqua Mira as suggested. The primitive campsite on the AT in Worthington State Forest has a Bear...

Two poles here, takes some of the stress off my knees on the down hills.

I just finished hiking the NJ AT and to my disappointment didn't see one bear. I heard one, but didn't see one. If your staying at the shelters, your biggest issue is going to be the mice. New Jersey...

I received a response from Jim Murray this morning, the cabin is still there and his contact info email at least is good. Thanks again for the feed back

That's good to know. I know 80 miles may not be long distance to some. But it's going to my first hike over that's over 20 miles and more than 2 days. I'll check the contact information and post any...

Is Murray's still open and if not where's a good place to stay in Greenwood Lake? I'll be ending my section hike in Greenwood and would like to rest up before heading home.

I don't care what anyone says, you should always carry a knife. Just be sure it's sharp.

Create a gear list on the geargrams website. Post the list on this site and let this group rip through it. Then decide what pack will fit your needs. I also suggest having some one measure your torso...

Chip...If you want an alcohol stove I'll be more than happy to send you one.

First realize I'm not a gram weenie. Were I'm at weight wise is half of what I carried last year on a 2 day hike of the trail.

Forgot to move the Tarp into the secondary list
Read the label wrong...
