Wow, you guys are a wealth of good information. Thanks for the replies! I will be honest, I am a little overwhelmed trying to plan this hike out. It seems like there are a few more variables to...

My son and I, age 53 and 21, are planning to hike the Whites June 18-25. I'm thinking of leaving my car in Gorham, getting shuttled south to Crawford Notch State Park, hiking NOBO to Pinkham Notch. ...

I am planning a section hike soon and need to leave my car at or near Swift Run Gap in SNP (US33). Any ideas?

The heck with political correctness. I profile everyone.

I have used Sharon's Shuttle Service (703)615-5612. I would highly recommend her. She is great.

What happened to Wild Wild Walkz? I have living vicariously thru him but no videos in a couple weeks.

Oh my god! Wow! I have seen some really stupid things on the internet, but this takes the cake.

Montbell Dynamo Wind Pants (<3 oz). But $70.

What a great video. My son and I started section hiking when he was 10. My daughter has hiked with us a couple of those years so far. It has been the most rewarding experience in my life. I hope...

The perfect tent is a hammock!

[QUOTE=CoconutTree;2028359]hayshaker, what is that fancy titanium stuff?

I guess I was fooled by it's titanium color, I guess it's actually 7075 aluminum. I thought I had at least one cool...

Ah, ok that makes sense.
By the way, you could save .4oz on the spoon by switching to Sea to Summit long titanium spoon which I weighed at .3oz. That should take you to the next level. :)

Disclaimer: I am a newbie section hiker.

But I noticed you listed 1oz for your alcohol fuel bottle. I would think you would use that much fuel in one day. I am using a home made Fancy feast...

I don't think the OHM is designed to carry a bear canister either. If that matters.

My son and I have tried steel wool, magnesium ticks, cotton balls w/ Vaseline, bow and drill, etc. The cotton balls soaked in Vaseline are by far the best.

Most people have a Jetboil which could...

It depends. What are the buckets made of?

That will be perfect. Thanks!

Where is a good place to leave a car for 2 days near Thornton Gap entrance (US211) to SNP? Can I leave it at the rangers station?

My son and I started section hiking when he was 10. Our first trip we started at Greenbrier State Park in Maryland and hiked SOBO to Harpers Ferry (<30miles). The AT runs right thru the Greenbrier...

Just by replying to this thread I am violating LNT principles.

I brought my Etrex the 1st year on the AT. It was rare when I had satellite reception. I have not brought it the last few years and have never missed it. But if I was bringing a smartphone anyway,...

Mike Evans shuttled us from Skymeadows State Park to Thornton Gap SNP entrance last year. He's very well known around here. His number is 540 539-0509. Good guy and good conversationalist.

Taking notes, thanks!

I kinda figured that could be a problem. But we'll have our 25* bags, (until I can afford a down TQ), so we should be plenty warm. I am so geeked about this year I can't stand it. I can't imagin...

Hey, thanks a lot! I will definitely check those areas out.
