That is alright, I have been holding it for several days for a user name "hooshr"
After talking to him over the phone and working out the details, he ignored me for several days before sending me a...

alright, appreciate it. Just making sure I wasn't being unfair

Just out of curiosity. I see everyone elses items going pretty fast, are tents not in, or is my price too high? Seemed like a good price to me, but what do I know, really.

I didn't bring any, but at times I have regretted it. Hiking a few times at night, around caves, would have been nice to have. Also, sometimes in the middle of the night I have wished I had it. It...

Item on hold, please delete thread, thanks

GEORGIABear canisters seasonally required for camping between Jarrard Gap and Neel Gap
A new U.S. Forest Service rule requires approved bear-resistant storage containers for...

I was going to carry a canister for the whole trail, but I did a few day hikes with it, and um, no. Takes up too much room, weighs several pounds, and overall is just a pain. Good container, and good...

I am walking trails that are nowhere near as bad as the AT right now. I start my hike in a week. If I didn't have spike yesterday I couldn't have finished. The snow had melted in the day, then froze...

I'm looking at pictures of hills, and then looking at my pack. I hope it's working

If not now, when? Do it while you have the opportunity. You would be amazed at the amount of people I have run into that said "Wow, that's cool, I always wanted to do that". Don't be that person

Haha, you weren't suppose to know I was carrying both. I am good on weight... for now, at least that is what I tell myself

Yeah, who knows, it may be gone by the time I get to Neels gap, going to try it out though

I will be carrying bear spray. I agree, most likely not needed, but since I am going solo, I figured why not. I don't think I am in any danger from a bear or a person, but better safe than...

I'll be carrying one, just for giggles. I hear there is somewhere in NY that you are suppose to carry one as well but they rent them. Don't know if that is true or not, didn't do anymore research...

Leaving March 9th as well. I will have a set of Kahtoolas with me. I will also have a cheap little 4oz pair that has tips like a trekking pole. If I see you on Blood Mountain trying to go up it like...

Yes, I know the history quite well. Even that Earl Shaffer managed to do it with a 20lb pack. The difference of 20lbs then and 20 now is huge. 20 LBS in a bad pack can feel like the weight of the...

I realize light hiking has been around for a while, I was more referring to the gram counters. Nobody wants to carry a heavy pack, I am just saying up until recent the weight of these packs were not...

I have the new Osprey 65 AG. This thing is awesome. ( http://www.rei.com/product/878452/osprey-atmos-65-ag-ex-pack ) It is 4lb 11oz, but the Anti-gravity makes it feel like it ways less than a pound...

Like I said, to each their own. My bag and pack weigh more than most, but to put it in perspective. Tent/bag/pack is where you make or break your weight. Your 42+5 weighs more than my 68 , which most...

Appreciate it. I have set it up at the house and slept in it a few times. I really like it for its weight and size. You're right, the bag does suck. I actually broke it up into 3 separate bags, so I...

Can't find too much on the pack or the sleeping bag. The pack seems heavy for its capacity though. What is the weight on the sleeping bag? Zero rating seems pretty low, but to each their own. You...

I know what I should get rid of. It is just getting rid of it that's the problem. I was in the Army for too long. When you go to the field you take your entire house, it is hard to break that...

Go for it. I have got all my gear now. Now I just need to figure out what in the heck NOT to take

Sound advice, thank you. Yeah , I have thought about the sleeping bag thing. Just not knowing the weather in the Smokey's I have decided to keep this one until I get to the other side of them. I have...

I appreciate you as well. Glad you are still with us
