Folks,

I think I have one of these stoves, I have since moved away from using it (alchohol stove works for me). If your interested in buying it, let me know, it has been used a few times, but not a lot. ...

what dates are you hiking from springer to fontana? that is a section I am interested in hiking this JUN.

If your happy with the pack and like the way it fits, stick with it. With more trail experience, you'll figure out a way to get your volume to match your pack, especially for your goal of 3-4 days,...

OK, if you kill a were-pig, won't it revert back to it's human form? and if so, do you really want to be eating that bacon?

what part of walmart did you find them in? I think I will go shop around, sports area, or clothing?

Any form of CLIF Bar. They were in a meal every day at Philmont, after about 6 days, you couldn't give them away, even to a 14 year old kid, after 7 days, I couldn't even eat one. Don't know why,...

Either put one pair in your bounce box or have someone standing by to send them to...

Thorlo Hiking socks. I wear them everyday at work, too. Very comfortable. When hiking, I use a polypro liner.

Sweet thread, thanks!

I appreciate it, I will block off a couple of weeks and see how far I get. My boy scout troop is doing the GSMNP this summer, I will probably link in with them at one point or another.

OK,
