The SuperFly is catenary cut so it probably would not hang right with a ridgeline underneath.

The SuperFly is catenary cut so it probably would not hang right with a ridgeline underneath.
We just spent a week in RMNP. Nights were spent in Estes Park at about 7500'. All of our hikes were 10,000'+. Even after a few days in the park we were getting light headed hiking at altitude but I...
I've thought that before. Still waiting for the "What color is your pack" question.
It's a State Park so you have to pay parking. Or you can get an annual pass for $50 ($35 for seniors:)). Then back country camping is $9/night.
I love the PMT. I haven't thru hiked it but I have done plenty of day hikes and one nighters. As others have said it is nothing compared to the AT. No real steep climbs on the AT and the highest...
Hey there. I had an aunt, uncle and cousin in Morganton. I went there many times as a kid. Long, long ago.
I use both. When I sleep on the ground I'm usually awake before daylight and waiting for first light to get up. When I sleep in my hammock I have a hard time making myself get up. It may very well be...
Thank you everyone for the suggestions. The weather forecast for last weekend never improved so we ended up going south of Atlanta for better weather. As it stands now we are planning to go to the...
Yeah I was thinking that about the horse camp. Thanks.
This is my plan for this weekend, weather permitting (and that doesn't look so good at this point). Starting from the Deep Creek campground hike Deep Creek Trail, Martins Gap Trail, return on Indian...
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mt Rogers/Grayson Highlands. But be warned, it may ruin you for lesser hikes.
What is slikepacking and what is a tri suit?
You might check out The Pine Mountain Trail in FDR State Park. South of Atlanta. The trail is 23 miles long and crosses a highway with parking many times. The highest elevation in the park is 1600"...
I found all of your posts in 2 clicks. Clicked on your name in your post then a drop down box opened. Then selected "view forum posts".
Bears are afraid of cameras. Just sleep with yours in hand.
If you hike the Roan Mountain area you will catch the rhododendron in bloom. If you have the time hike from Carvers Gap to Grayson Highlands and catch two of the best sections of the trail.
Have you considered a Warbonnet Super Fly? it's 1# 3 oz and has doors.
Just curious, do you carry all of the food and water you will need for the entire thru hike with you when you begin? If not then you are slackpacking to a certain extent. You still walk all of the...
I always filter. I haven't seen any advantage in not filtering.
I wear a seat belt when in a car and look both ways before crossing the road too.

If the sign in your pic is in NC it should read Swinging Lick Gap. As you can see it is a fairly new sign because it gets stolen frequently.
Nice video. It looks like fun.
It will take you a couple of hours to get to the AT from Atlanta but there are some good trails closer. Kennesaw Mountain has a large network of trails within the park. Pine Mountain Trail in...
Overall I like your gear list. A couple of comments if I may.
I'm a restless sleeper and I found a sleeping bag and pad in a hammock to be somewhat of a pain. If it's in your budget maybe...
That section of trail has been on my stay away from list for years. It is by far the most popular section of the AT in GA. Many of the people that hike that section have no clue what a blaze is and...
Hikers not following the rules is exactly what BSP is complaining about. If you don't want to follow the rules why not just stay out of the park. Plenty of other places that will allow you to do...
