I'm sure this is a silly question but I don't have any experience with single wall tents. How is the protection against bugs? I have a mosquito phobia to the extent that I "police" my tent every...

Oops again. I was planning on starting the beginning of March but since I'm not really on a tight schedule I figure I'll start around April 15th. I also have a silkweight base layer that I can...

Nike running shorts for me (commando). I have the older ones that have a nice little slit on the side - very comfy and non-constricting :rolleyes:
Thanks for the info. I checked out the bus site and I can't figure out if I should park for free in N. Adams and go SOBO or park in Dalton, go NOBO and take the 3 buses back to my car...

What a great looking dog. I feel for you - I'm planning a thru hike next March and my biggest logistical issue has been finding a home for my 2 dogs, a rescue Greyhound and an Italian Greyhound. No...
