I just finished up Manchester south to Bennington and the trail is great! No need for microspikes. Just DEET and a headnet! Bugs BAD! BAD bugs! Mud not so bad
Thanks. I think based on the replies a quilt will be a better option for me.
Wow, a quilt is something I never thought about but sounds like a very good option. Thank you both for that info. I'm generally a warm sleeper even in very cold conditions. I do kick and move a...
I'm looking for a sidesleeper sleeping bag that's also lightweight. I've been researching the Big Agnes Sidewinder but wonder if there are any others to compare with. Or are there any of you who...
Really? Another brainless wonder of society. I love(d) that shelter on my section hike.
I finished the book 2 days after receiving it and found I was frustrated many times. I mean no disrespect to ANYONE and certainly I support anyone who wants to hike the AT whichever they plan it for...
I'm just posting an update to my op. The new replacement pack arrived yesterday after a very pleasant experience with Osprey. I'm glad to see a company is honest and does stand behind their product...
It really doesn't take much effort to acknowledge someone, smile or simple greeting. You just don't know whether you'll end up needing this person later on down the trail for one reason or another. ...
Thanks to all of you for replies. I'm glad to hear I can trust Osprey to do the right thing.
Has anyone had any experience with sending their Osprey pack back to the company for a repair? I'm wondering about whether you received a new pack in lieu of a repair. Since I only need a new...
Like many I'm peopled out! Working in customer service all I hear day in and day out are whining and complaints. I'll take the solitude of the outdoors hiking the AT or any other trail available to...
I've seen that happen MANY times.:-?
I've seen that happen MANY times.
My daughter and I SECTION hike every June and a couple of years ago stopped here. The caretaker was wonderful. She actually gave us a tour around the grounds and let us know about pancakes in the...
Thank you to all for your responses. We probably will opt for pushing through that section and be done with it.
We were supposed to head up to New England but oh well, PA it is. Does anyone know of a backpackers site in the long flat stretch between Alex Kennedy shelter and Darlington shelter? I've been...
I enjoyed reading your well-written, detailed review with nice photos. This trail sounds like it's worth a visit. Glad you had a great experience and thank you for sharing.
LOVED Nepal and my hike there in 2000.
There's a bunch passing through Wind Gap now. We invited 3 + dogs to tent in my backyard Monday night then 3 more on Tuesday night. They said there's another group coming through, the Warriors...
Between Bennington, VT and Dalton, MA during the first week of June when I was up there the water was plentiful and rushing.
I've tried many folks from the shuttle list but they are not available and the cab service does not operate on weekends. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Thanks to all for your responses and I am liking the sound of the poncho for its flexibility and since I always carry bungie cords I could use one as a belt as suggested. I looked into the other...
It wasn't comfortable around my hips (I'm a bit curvy) and when I went up a size the sleeves were too long.
Thanks hyperslug I will look into this.
