Bump to the top and reduced to $90 shipped.
Four doors - for use over a hammock - practically brand new - never used outdoors - only setup in the garage - bought it on Amazon and it had a 1-inch hole along ridge line - I put tape over the hole...
I don't listen to music at all when hiking or biking or kayaking or working out. It's too distracting.
This is "mommy content" and it exists solely so people can comment on it. Which is awful.
It's the world of social media, driven by the need to be famous. Which is awful.
It's the "Kardashian...
Good choice: I was just up on Bearfort Ridge two hours ago and the trail is 100 percent snow, probably about 12 inches deep. They got a lot more white stuff up on the mountains then we got in the...
A couple of years ago, an outfitter told me that the difference between Leki and every other manufacturer was that Leki actually ships replacement parts to the outfitters before they are needed. So...
I have a pair of Mountainsmith Carbonlite aluminum poles that I've had for about 8 years now - cost me around $55 on Amazon. Lots of scratched off paint and I always tell people as soon as they break...
I use a Gorilla-pod which is short and light and flexible and cheap and I wrap it around trees at eye level if I need to shoot from that angle. It's rare that I shoot from way up there, much...
While this is good advice there is also the random nail that has pulled loose that can spell trouble.
Globetruck: I have a Hammock Bliss Skybed assym hammock that has a built-in sleeve to slide my inflatable pad into. (With so many people complaining about pads slipping around inside their hammock,...
I used my Therm-a-rest Neo XTherm exactly ONCE in a shelter - usually it's in my hammock - and it developed a leak. It's been repaired but now I have a Tyvek ground cloth to serve double-duty...
I live about five miles away and, yes there are at least two other alternatives: There is the Village Vista trail which climbs up to the AT from behind the soccer fields in Greenwood Lake and there...
Took a quick trip around the region this morning and all of the local trailhead parking lots that I saw were completely inaccessible.
Which would make a DWG to High Point - or High Point to DWG -...
Yes, we do have a very nice - and challenging - section. But right now it's under so much snow and melting snow it's kinda tough to find.
Thinking about it, it may make more sense for you to start (or end) at High Point SP and finish (or start) at DWG. Staying on the ridge may work better than hiking in the valleys.
We got about 18 inches of snow on Wednesday. I live in New York about four miles from where the AT crosses Route 94 in New Jersey. The AT parallels the NY/NJ border for a good portion of the trip to...
I was a professional photographer for 44 years - now retired for the past three years - and, just to answer your question, all my cameras have viewers on them. I have never taken a photo with a phone...
Both tarps are now sold.

Yes, Agony Grind is fun. But he's going in the right direction. I would much rather climb Agony Grind then descend it.

Headed south, on the...
The "secret shelter" is closed but you can still pitch a tent on the land. The church hostel is closed, but I was told it was temporary and will reopen this summer. Either way, if you are stopping at...
Yes, Warwick is a very nice place - it has a "Currier and Ives" feel to it. Let me know when you are up this way and I'll buy you a cold one at Yesterdays! The owner is a friend and my wife and I...
On Monday, I got in a 7-mile hike from the Doris Duke trailhead, up to the Highlands Trail and then down the AT to Fitzgerald Falls and up again on to the Bearfort Ridge and on to Route 17A. Did not...
