Cool. Thanks.
I'm driving by soon and plan to stealth camp somewhere near the Mcafee Knob trailhead. Is it safe to park there overnight?
Nice setup. Does the tent come with that view?
I'm looking for something to get me through the CDT in a few years. I will probably narrow it down to a 20 degree bag since I can use that in the shoulder season. Then I'll just add another quilt or...
I'm about to drop $500 on a down quilt and wanted to make sure it's not the biggest waste of money on my part. :)
I've been testing the Six Moons Lunar Solo on my recent hikes and it really gets wet inside in hard rains due to condensation build up. When the rain drops are hard enough (and maybe due to wind...
Just curious if anybody has been on or around this section of the trail recently and give a general idea of water availability. Trying to determine how many water bottles to carry on my 5 day section...
I've got some down booties and I just won't plan on sleeping butt nekkid. :) Thanks for the reassurance. I just don't want to be days into my hike and suffering for a stupid decision to cut weight.
How much are you planning on toting at one time? 2L? 3L?
I am heading out this weekend and wondering if anybody has any recent updates on the water flow in this area. I know it's been relatively dry lately in the NC mountains.
I have recently converted from hammocking to ultralightweight tenting. I would like to use my hammock's underquilt as my top quilt now. It has no footbox though. It's rated for 20 degrees and the...
Thanks for the reply Gambit. I just set up a shuttle trip with Splitter after calling Mtn. Crossings.
I am planning a hike that will end at Mountain Crossings and I am interested in getting a shuttle to Winding Stair Gap. Recommended shuttles from Mountain Crossing or the nearby area?
Got a few day hike coming up this last week of October and was wondering what the conditions were like recently.
It's been a wet summer and fall near Hot Springs so I'm assuming the same on the...
I'm planning a 4 day hike in early October and trying to figure out where to arrange for a one way shuttle and long term parking. I plan on hiking back to my truck.
Any advice?
Thanks.

I'm heading out this weekend (10/28-10/31) and wondering if I should bring 2 liters of water capacity or just 1. I've been trying to carry less water in areas where it's easy to fill up often. I'll...
Thanks for the great info y'all. I am hiking from Dickey Gap to D-town in late October and appreciate the deets.
OK, thanks. I'll hit up the outfitter in Damascus.
Hey Lone Wolf, I had a slight chainsaw accident just after my last post. But I'm pretty much good to go on this planned hike now. I'm aiming for 10/28 through 10/31. Would you still be able to give...
For 12-15 mile days, I like to get started 'round 9 am. So:
* 10/6 9:00 am: Damascus Library parking lot to Grayson Highlands
* 10/9 5-ish pm: Low Gap/Hwy 421 to Damascus Library parking lot
...
Looking at the map a little more it seems like a more appropriate way to tackle this would be to park at a hostel in Damascus, get shuttled to Grayson Highlands, hike to Low Gap and call for a...
Yeah, I guess that info would help. :) Around Indigenous People's Day: 10/6 - 10/9.
I'm planning a 4 day hike starting or ending at Shady Valley, TN/Low Gap/Highway 421. I typically like to hike back to my truck from where I start so I'm looking for shuttle service from either Shady...
If I recall correctly, there is a 5 mile uphill after Laurel Shelter heading NB. I prefer going SB from Sam's Gap to avoid that monster.

Hopefully this picture loads. Yours was the first sticker to grace my new (used) Ford Ranger. Thank you. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160701/4f5adab8ab9a9bd4e7f20462a08f3e50.jpg
