Hello. A friend and I were looking at hiking either of these loops mid-September. But my friend wants to do no more than 9-10 miles a day for five days, which is shorter than either. On the map I can...

Great pix thanks for the report. Stuck off trail now, so it's great to live vicariously.
Living vicariously through you tonight.. Good luck!
I must still be a newbie. I know to shorten polls but I’m wondering why you loosen the hip belt when ascending a hill.
First review I’ve seen.

Triscuits. Cheese (not too salty). Dried fruit. Mmmmm.
Nice piece. Thanks.
For me, as with most of you, permethrin is a no-brainer. But don't assume it is risk-free. There was a study showing that people who use permethrin occupationally had a higher risk of Parkinson's....
OK. I am not here to debate the SCLC. Or to judge the people of Damascus. I am here to describe what has changed for me in the last three years or so.
I never would have hesitated to use a...
I use permethrin religiously. Ticks are scary as hell. But it is a neurotoxin. It has been linked to Parkinson’s disease for those who use it occupationally (much higher exposure than for us). So my...
Cheese + Triscuits and maybe dried fruit.
Yes. Got too reliant on the Insect Shield pants/socks and permethrin shoes. Got to be more careful.
Yeah should have used it for kindling first.
And btw a big thank you to all you PATC volunteers. Those cabins are amazing.
Of course you don’t need to cowboy camp to get a tick. Found one in my belly button after one-day cabin trip near Shenandoah, on wide trails, wearing all my permethrin clothes. Getting antibiotic now.
I tried to reply, "Wow." But apparently I need at least 10 characters to post. So wow wow wow wow.
They go by Zhuanglin or Aleader or Socone but I'm pretty sure they are all the same thing.
I got them for a weekend hike that included water crossings. I don't know about their reliability over...
Well, that's helpful info. Actually I was engaging in more wishful thinking because right now if I'm lucky I can get out to trails in Michigan, Wisconsin, etc. three or four long weekends a year....
Oh man after watching those videos I want to hike that trail so bad.
That was a good piece. Thanks.
Thanks, Turtle and Slo-go’en. Yes I know I’m being paranoid about the ticks — and the spray permethrin. Appreciate the thoughts.
Thanks, wstatz. That's an option too. I've seen references recently to occupational use of permethrin being linked to Parkinson's. I know the exposure is much lower, but I'd like to go with Insect...
I've never MYOG'd anything more complex than a cat stove, so although my questions may seem overly obvious, please bear with me. I'm thinking about forgoing my bug nest when the temps are too cool...
I second the minimums.biz motion. Go in on it with someone if you don’t need $20 worth. Other stuff like sunscreen sold too.
Man, what a trip! And great pix. Thanks for the report.
