I am searching for a 0 or 10 degree quilt for my husband and I when we start our thru hike in September 2019 (South bound from Harper's Ferry, then flipping back NOBO in late Feb) . I am a side...
I am wondering if it is still considered a thru hike if I start on Sept 1, 2020 (Harper's Ferry to Springer) and finish by August 31, 2021 (doing Harper's Ferry to Katahdin in the spring)? We have...
Does it count as a thru hike if we take the winter off? if it is not all done in 2019? If we start on Sept 1, 2019 and finish by Aug 31, 2020? Any other SOBOs that have started at HF and gone to...
Hi, I have the same question...no real answers I guess. I like the idea of starting March 1. If you need a couple days off for bad weather, you have a small cushion built in. Good luck!
Hi, I'm wondering if you are wearing a hiking skirt or a rain skirt. I also plan to hike the AT in 2019 and I'm not sure about carrying both. I think I will make a rain skirt myself and see how light...

Anyone ready to hike Aug 20-27? We can do NY, CT, MASS, or VT? Any preference?
Has anyone reviewed or tried the My Trail packs? Just wondering if they would work for long section hikes. Great price right now, so it makes me want to try the 50 L.
I suffered from plantar fasciitis for 2 years. Tried everything...then a marathon runner suggested a prescription med called meloxicam(mobic). I talked my MD into trying that. I also taped my feet...
Quiet Storm, Are you hiking weekends thru pa? How many miles per day do you hike? Do you use shuttles or hike out and then hike back to your car? Do you camp overnight? i'm going to start whittling...
Best dates for me are Easter week and the last two weeks in August. I was thinking about hiking south thru the Shenandoah's in April and do something farther north in August (New Jersey-Vermont...
HI, Does anyone know how this will fit the Hennessey Hammock Ultralight?
HI Quiet Storm! I will keep checking back to this thread and see who is interested in hiking and if there are any specific locations we need to concentrate the hike in. Also, the dates that people...
Kizziebean- Good luck on your hike. I'm 55 and still dreaming of a thru hike. It must be a great feeling knowing it's about to happen for you! Are you going to be doing a journal where wanna-be's...

border with you if it works out.
What time are we hiking out Sunday morning? I'm trying to decide if I will have my daughter drop me off then or if I want to spend the night. Any thoughts? Dink-I left my car at the Econolodge for 2...
They let me leave my car there for 2 nights last year, so maybe...
Hammock hangers-I think I'm going to get a Hennessey Hammock ultralight. My question is...Are the tarps that typically come with hammocks big enough? They offer a free upgrade to a bigger(yet...
Dink, what stove are you carrying that is a combination?
