Buy a tarp and get creative. I've never had condensation issuses with my Equinox 8'x10' tarp. Weighs about 14oz and depending on how I pitch it, it can sleep 2-4 people easily. Also comes in handy...

Its got a good beat for hiking.

Right now I'm stuck on Mischief Brew.

I'm starting my hike in a few days and I'll be rockin' my Leki's that I bought at Mountain Crossings on my last hike. Hoping they'll last another 2000+ miles.

Personally, I wouldn't go with the...

From my experience as a flip-flopper, I can say that the Trail does seem to be better blazed going NoBo. That's not to say, however, that southbound blazing is bad. The only areas where I had any...

I was 18 (turned 19) on my last hike and I was turned away from motels occasionally. Apparently, they wouldn't rent a room to anyone under 21 :confused:

ANYTHING is ok if its discrete enough...

Wow. I just found my dividend and I won't get too specific here, but let's just say if I spend it all, my order will qualify for free shipping :)

Now the question is, SHOULD I spend it all, or...

Hey! Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot about this, since its my first year as a member

Most people have told me to just use a pack liner (trash bag) but I've got tons of stuff in the outer pockets that I'd like to keep dry. I'm using a rain poncho that covers me and my pack. More...

I was identifying the states while watching this with my family and my sister asked "how do you know where that is? It all looks the same." :rolleyes:

mind. blown.

why wouldn't it be waterproof? its just metal and plastic

That was also my understanding. The gear that recieved awards were featured on pages 13- 22. There was a Big Agnes tent and one by Kelty, I believe. The Tarptent was reviewed later on in the issue.

I don't think I would ever spend that much on a piece of gear unless it had a negative weight... like it would help carry my other gear. Hot air balloon maybe... ;)

I like reading short stories while I'm on the trail... that way I can read one each night instead of starting a novel one night then rushing all day so I can get to camp and continue the story.

Plans changed. Starting at Amicalola on March 17. Moved it up a few weeks cuz I can't wait!

My pack weight with 5 days of food is about 17 lbs. Not bragging, but you asked. :)

I've hiked most of the trail before and have extensively tested all my new gear, so I am confident with my...

That doesn't make any sense. If trekkers trek, then backpackers backpack.

Hiking is walking where its ok to pee.

Maybe he meant GSMNP?

that should be on a t-shirt

THANK YOU! I've been wearing fivefingers on and off for the past year and I'm tired of people who haven't worn them telling me about the problems I will have.

No, its not the same shoe. But it is the women's version of the shoe.

When did Damascus get a bus station?

I've seen people carry on an over stuffed book bag, a purse, and a pillow larger than my pack. I saw a guy with a small backpack and a large guitar case.
Maybe I'll call or better yet, walk over to...
