Thank you all
Thanks so much
I'm planning a section hike for this spring and plan to do about 108 miles from VA 630 "Sinking Creek" to VA 130 "Big Island, VA".
Because of a bad back - I will likely need to slackpack much of...
Didn't disappear - - Just had health problems !
Sorry.
Is Four Pines still open and operating ?
I will really be needing them this summer / fall.
Thanks,
I need a framed pack because of back problems. Need to make sure pack weight falls on my hips and not my shoulders.
What's the best (lightest) framed pack for 3 to 4 days gear ?
Does anyone know of a free online AT elevation chart?
I'm doing this section next month and looking for some place to "base" from.
Does anyone have a suggestion or a list of hostels and motels in this section?
Any thoughts on a good lightweight ground cloth for a 2 person tarp?
Looking for a sleeping bag for summer section hikes.
I guess 40 degree ?
Would like it durable but as light as possible.
Any suggestions?
Don,
Last week you shuttled me from Pearisburg to Woods Hole. I'm planning another section hike for late June from Pearisburg to Dalevillle.
Do you cover that whole area - or is there someone...
I'm doing the same section in late June.
Does anyone know if the trail has been reopened after the fire or when it will be?
Rain Man -
I read a lot of your posts.
Tell you what - you can come to my house this summer and I'll take you fishing.
Then - some day - you can show me around Nashville. I've never been...

The fly poles are too long to really fit in my pack without a problem.
I dont' want to pack them "on top" of my pack - because...
I have a ULA circuit - but I need better load transfer to my hips (because of a back problem).
At the same time - trying to keep the actual weight down.
Any suggestions?
I'm planning a 200 mile section in southern / middle VA in early May.
Was planning to bring hiking shorts and shirt and raingear (top and bottom) for rain protection and added layer of warmth.

Has anyone done a weight comparison between Esbit and Canister stoves.
Obviously Esbit weight drops as it is used up - but in typical conditions I wonder which is really lighter over the course of...
Good Point - one of my older packs has a great hip belt and suspension system. It's heavier than the pack I've been using - but I will definitely go back to it. Right now - my problem is simply...
Backpacking is important to me - as it is to you.
Recently I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease.
Right now - it hurts to even walk more than half a mile - much less backpacking as we...
Thanks - I'll be callling you in the next few days to make arrangements.
Take care,
Planning a section hike soon - would like to get shuttles to trail then end up at my truck.
There are lots of parking areas.
Does anyone know if they would feel safe leaving their vehicle for...
Thanks Lone Wolf
Makes a lot of sense ! Thanks !
I'm pretty experienced on the AT and I don't mind the shelters - but need protection in case shelters are full or if I can't make it to a shelter. I'm a "section hiker" - so we're talking about 10...
