Hi, I'm thru hiking the AT currently and am over half way through. Yet I'm still having issues with my light heart gear solo tent. I find it difficult to get the perfect pitch so that the two long...
How do I tell if it's bacterial or fungal
I'm thru hiking tge AT and I'm having a major case of folliculitis on my butt. This is something that's not uncommon for me in the hot months, but usually I'm home and have methods to keep clean and...

Has anyone tried the msr thru link? What are your thoughts. Can it double as a gravity filter (if you've tried)?
Looking for backpack recommendations for my AT thru hike. I went to REI because I was having trouble adjusting my old aura 50. They couldn't get that one, or really any other pack to sit properly on...
Hi,
I'm supposed to start the AT on June 17th from Maine. I've been trying to make a campsite reservation but their online registration system alternating says campsites are already booked or...
No, the mantis has an integrated ridgeline and bug net. The only not-attached pieces are the tarp and accessories such as the UQ and gear sling.
I do have this pic which shows a bit better the...
Hi! I bought a Kammok Ul and an eno underquilt + a sea to summit gear sling. I'm wondering if my tarp is large enough. I'm nervous because I can easily see the underquilt underneath (see picture)....

Okay, first time attaching an image so hope it worked. Like I said, they're pretty small (they do seem a little larger once they're bearing weight because they're v-shaped tears). A few...
Yeah, the used gear section of REI has a 30 day return window that I'm pretty far out of. I could borrow a sewing machine, but since the rips are so small, would it make sense to hand stitch? Also,...
Thank you so much!
Hi, I'm trying to find a charging bank that could recharge my phone a few times. Also, I'd prefer it to not weigh 20lbs but I do recognize these things arent light. Anyway, my big issue is that I...
Hi,
I purchased a Kammock Mantis UL through REI used gear back in January. Due to weather and health issues, I was unable to set it up until today. I just saw some small tears in the Levitas™ 20D...
Hi,
I Have a pair of Oboz sawtooth low rises. I've never had gaiters before, but I could see wanting them after multiple days of the ATs infamous rain. What are the community recommendations and...
Oooh, I hadn't thought about the state-by-state regulations. Good thoughts! Also, you probably know, but just a reminder to all that while having both doses is great, you can still potentially spread...
Hi, I'm thinking of getting a pair of earbuds for backpacking. I'd like to go wireless so that things aren't getting tangled. That being said, I have had issues with earbuds falling out of my ears in...
Hi! I just got a Mantis Ul and have an Eno ember underquilt. I'm also getting a sea to summit gear sling. I'd like to get some skins to make set up easier. What are people's recommendations? Thanks!
Okay, thank you!
How do liner socks solve the sliding issue? Aren't they really thin?
I did pick up an eno ember underquilt when it was on sale. What's a dyneema tarp? Also, while looking on their website I saw an underquilt protector. Do you think they're important?
Thank you everyone for the info! I'll take a look at retailers along the trail (although a rough 2020 season may have changed some things) and see if I can make some estimates
Ooh I had been looking a little at biking gloves but hadn't thought about paddling! Thanks!
Yeah, I would probably just use them as 3 season. I'm going SOBO on the AT and was thinking waterproof to keep my hands dry and warm when there's a few consecutive days of rain in the fall. I hadn't...
