    You didn't make clear why you are renting a car, but it sounds like you're intending to do a section hike and not a thru-hike. I had a hard time figuring out how it would work until I guessed you're...

    I can’t speak directly on the 2022 Long Haul. I carried a 2018 LH50L on the PCT, CDT, and BMT. What I can say is that the attachment points on the Movement 40L work well. I hiked the Pinhoti Trail...

    The Crawfords did not go all the way to the top. They elected to stop at the treeline and remain together as a family.

    I don’t think I’d want to hike the Creeper on a weekend, especially going southbound. There will be dozens of bicycles approaching you from behind.
