    X2 on the water pumps - the Turnpike shelter is the worst. All seem to taste rusty. There’s a spigot just south of Seven Springs.

    I wish there were more heat exchanger pots on the market. So far it’s pretty much JetBoil/MSR stove/pot combo (tall and skinny and tough to cook in) or the larger and heavier Olicamp 1L.

    I’d like...

    I started using an umbrella on the AT last year. Wow that thing is great as long as the underbrush isn’t too thick. I also bought a Visp but have only used it on day hikes so far.

    Can you do me a favor and see if it does the same thing for you? I’ve never run into this problem before. I’ve been playing around a little more and it seems that it can’t calculate the AT where it...

    Chair zero is nice but it sinks in the mud. I put ping pong balls on each foot and it helps a lot.

    My 2 cents:
    - Section hike: anything > 1 night on AT
    - LASH: section hike long enough to require a resupply

    Not that it really matters. Just get out there and hike.

    Maybe go semi-custom? ULA let’s you select separate torso and m waist sizes. They also have 2 different shoulder straps - J or S curve. I’d look at the ULA Circuit.

    It’s not cheap but the price is comparable to other xpac packs like the SWD Long Haul. ULA also comes seam sealed which is a plus. I’d venture to bet that they’re great packs.
