I switched last year from a sleeping bag to a quilt and I have really been pleased. I have an EE Revelation and I find it very easy to adjust for warmer or cooler weather. Plus, I have plenty of...
Trekology ALUFT COMFORT... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071ZPMGQ9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Weighs 70gms (by my kitchen scales), blows up quickly. Has a fleece type fabric on one side. I sleep much...
You may also want to analyze what your toes do when you hike. I too, had Turf Toe and realized when hiking or walking long distances I did hyper flex my big toe for some reason. I had to literally...
We are totally incapable of either finding an appropriate limb to hang a bear bag or throwing it in a way that it doesn't get tangled in tree limbs, so we changed to the Ursack three years ago. We...
Absolutely! [emoji846]

I have the same feeling about mine. I had an Osprey Ariel, and it was fine, until I packed my husbands Atmos a few times. It had features I liked a lot and finally splurged for a new pack. It...
I reduced mine by 68 pounds and it made all the difference in the world to my hiking. I reduced my pack weight by four pounds as well. I feel like I am flying up the mountains!
Expound please.

On our second section hike, which was almost entirely in the rain, our last night was unexpectedly cold. I had tossed the mylar blankets in my pack as an after thought. That night we were colder...
Having experienced Camille and Katrina, I don't think the word "weak" should ever precede the words "Cat. 5.". :)

I have trouble with a Bic lighter even in warm temps, much less when my hands are cold or wet. I found a tiny lighter marketed for cigars on an end cap at Walmart. It looks like a candle lighter...
I have a sealed straw with baking soda. I sprinkle a tiny bit on a child's toothbrush and brush with that. When done, I just swallow. I figure I could probably use the extra salt anyway.

Living in south Alabama, we found training for hiking a difficult thing as well. I tried the stair master at the gym and walking on treadmills with the incline up, but they didn’t seem to have that...
I LOVE Moon Pies.
We have a Moon Pie store here in Mobile. Moon Pies are the favorite thing thrown at our Mardi Gras parades and the city even has a "Moon Pie Drop" on New Year's Eve!

My Osprey Ariel did not squeak, but my Aura AG does. It doesn’t squeak continuously, or very loud, but I do hear it sometimes.
I’ll play.
This is me and my husband, Glen, on our last hike. His trail name is Soulflinger and mine is Poppy.

I can't stand to walk with my glasses on flatland, I can't imagine what it would be like going up a mountain. I wear my contacts and carry a spare pair, although I have never lost a lens on the...
I have worn nothing but the WT610v5 since early 2014. Each time a pair starts to wear out, I order a new one. Since I changed to NB I have absolutely no issues with my feet. Personally, I think...
I use this book, the Thru-Hiker's Companion and Guthook's app and compile my own spreadsheet for the section we are going to hike. I think that gives me a good deal of information. If mileage...
Until our last hike we both used a Klymit insulated Static V pad. I had two issues with it ( my husband can sleep soundly on a hard rock, so he has no issues with anything.) I found that I was...
My sister had always called me a "non-conformist" and after 60 years, I guess it's still true.
Some of my friends love to hear my stories of our hikes, but mainly I think, because they can never...
Perfect attitude! :)

We did this same section the first of this month. It took us two and a half days, starting about 1pm the first day.
We stopped at Wise Shelter the first night, too. We camped at the campsite...
