I'll be starting mid-February! I'm a slooow hiker tho :)
Planned start date is February 15th as long as a nephew-to-come doesn't mess up the timing :)
Correction, about extra 10 more than I need. Im only 55

My concerns regarding the length are not so much about the additional weight. Its purely about the length. Those extra 5 makes it just a little less manageable when packing it up while inside my...
Misspoke on my part. I have the Large.

Over 250 as well and I also have the Neo XTherm Max just to get that 25" width. Wish I didn't have to get the extra length that comes along with it too but those are the only sizing options they...
I realize that this product hasn't gotten into the public's hand yet, but going off of the descriptions, overviews and reviews in the below links, what do some of you guys think about this new water...
Again, this is super random but...
Does anyone know how the lodge was able to obtain that monstrously large/long AT map in the lobby? How old is that thing? I have to imagine it was just custom...
Moving my 2018 attempt to 2019. Possibly open to 2020 if I really can't swing next year. Also planning a February start.
Like a few others in this thread, my friends and I were planning a 4-5 day section from Springer to Neels Gap starting October 7. Generoll, it sounds like that section of the trail is good enough but...
They've been discontinued from REI and are nowhere to be found elsewhere. If anyone has a pair (preferably Medium) I'd like to know how much you would sell them for. Pics here:...
Thanks for the heads up! I had seen a lot of comments for Woodys Gap in the Guthook app stating they had done exactly what you describe here! That sounds like a very smart move so I'll research it...
I really want to start at Springer and end at Neels Gap purely for the psychological boost for myself: If I can complete the section that 20% of thru-hikers quit after and still have a desire to...
For the whole ride? As in, my friends and I would be able to split it?
I've done a local 7.5 mile trail in a few hours and a brutal Spartan race thru a whole day around this same weight so I might be selling myself short here. But, to be fair, both of those took place...
I will send you a PM! ;)
Thank you for the suggestion! Actually though, I attended the Appalachian Trail Kick-Off and seminars at Amicalola this past March and got to sit in on some great sessions including those with Odie,...
[Lengthy post warning]
Hey all, I'm trying to get in a practice/shakedown hike in prep for my 2018 NOBO. I'm planning a section from either Amicalola Falls or Springer (undecided on start yet)...
Planning a mid-February start date in 2018. I live in the South and HATE heat and favor all things cold so I'm trying to avoid the heat of the South's spring/summer with my start date. Another reason...
Make that the 2nd week of October
I have a mid-February start date though it's a couple days earlier than yours. However, I am a heavy hiker so my pace will be very slow going and I'm sure you or anyone else will catch up to me...
Heading NOBO in 2018 but am looking at mid-February for my start date.
I realize this thread is over a month old since the last post but if there are still any ladies looking for trips, I'm wanting to do a week long section from Springer Mountain to Neels Gap during the...
