As a very heavy sweater too- first I fall to my knees in gratitude that others are like me. Second- I use shorts with liners which seem to work well with chaffing on longer hikes. Third- might as...

Just did an average job of researching- might have gone different if I looked harder. Lesson learned.

I went with the lighter weight 850 fill hyperdry at 21 ounces which includes the hat. So it is about 19 ounces and much cheaper. I sleep cold since I tend to generate a lot of internal heat and...

Thanks folks- went ahead with EE. Now the wait:)

It literally was intended to just do a nice thing. Based on all of this back and forth- obviously it is not considered that way by many people. Honestly am sorry I even brought it up. Please...

Thanks- what is EE?

Hello all-

In getting gear for 2016- I am interested in Katabatic Gear Palisade sleeping quilt. I need the collective wisdom of WB if any have experience with it?

We would fed anyone who showed. Why is this so hard to understand? Anyone- they can drive there for all I care. It is for my selfish personal pleasure to see smiles and hear stories.

Really- not looking for spiritual enlightenment. We help with free medical clinics and are part of a maintenance hiking club for that. Just want to be nice and hear stories...don't care who they...

We offer what we have to those who need it. As mainly day hiker- we would never be rude. Explaining what we are doing and offering regardless is more our style. But this is a good reminder.

By the way- Mack is the amazon hiker who walks me in the ground when we day hike. As we plan and get ready for AT- we will be camping where she will- once again- show me what hiking is all about. ...

All great suggestions. Sounds like we will do two things. As we hike for our 2016 build-up and do trail maintenance on AT- will have nice bunch of snickers ready. Crosby road - north of GSM -...

My wife and I will start around March 2016 after we retire this fall.
Eric and wife's nickname is Mack

Thanks so much- I like the north of GSM better and will plan for that. Like the idea of feeding hungry hikers! Plus getting advice for our hike in 2016. Thanks for your suggestions....

A good and valid point made by all. I can take it elsewhere- just being lazy since I live near the park. I will figure it out- maybe on the north side of the part,
Thanks so much for our ideas....

Planning to give some trail magic at Clingman's Dome in April when those hikers who slogged thru the snow and rain reach it. Would like to catch a good number of folks and help them on their way.

Well done Alligator

Thanks much! Appreciate it

Trying to open spreadsheet with Excel and failing. What program did you use? Also- we plan a thru hike next year. My wife is an amazon but I am not. I have two fake hips. fake shoulder, fused...

Thanks much- seriously looking at this one most of all.

Excellent- thanks so much!

Thanks- just read and very helpful

Thanks for the recommendation!

Once again appealing to the wisdom of the many here- wondering which GPS and/or Sat phone and/or combination of both is a good one to take. Only interested in emergency stuff, limited texts,...
