Big umbrella proponent (several outdoor companies make a reflective one so it works for sun and rain and they're light) and z-packs has a thing that easily attaches them to your shoulder strap so you...

I've been rocking some mid weight fleece gloves from walmart for about 10 years. Does a job. Plus, they're camouflage for stealth.

Seems like up high would work better in theory, but I was always a down low guy. I’ll second garlic on site selection, valleys get damp. I’m fussy about my shelter and I’m the driest under a tarp.

I had a eureka solitaire for years that was bad about condensation, but the design allowed me to crack the zipper on the entry just a few inches and that helped tremendously. I have gotten away with...

Thanks guys. I'm making a list here. Chestnut Ridge is a local favorite too, those views up top are so nice. I could do Grayson and Roan forever, and I do tend to do them both most years. I know I...

I'm watching for a decent weekend weather wise to get out and do 25-30 miles. I'm fortunate to have the grayson highlands as a home stretch, so I may well end up out there. Grayson aside, I'm curious...

I don't know that this would survive a thru, but I made one and spent about 50 nights under it before I pulled the trigger on a silnylon tarp from...

It depends so much on the conditions and my mood. I tarp, prefer to cowboy camp, and don't do much clothes changing though. Sometimes breakfast and coffee feel like a hassle and I'll dump an instant...

Anyone been up by Chestnut Knob Shelter in Bland County, VA lately? Not much rain near there it seems like. I'm wondering if the spring is running.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I honestly didn't notice the huge red banner. I appreciate all of your responses.

Looking to get out and knock out this little section one weekend soon. I'm trying to get an accurate distance between these two points and any other general recommendations for camping etc on this...

I'm going to get out for the night and do Elk Garden to Damascus and I'm considering hiking to Saunders Shelter the first day. I have done this section, but my memory isn't great. It seems like I...

If I were to camp say five miles, give or take, north from Trimpi would there be a good water source? Thanks!

Good looking out guys. I'm excited to check out the area.

I've been reading/lurking on this site forever but 1st post. We did the Roan Highlands last summer and they're awesome but we're looking to do something different this year. We're hanging around...
