I've been following "Dos" and the "myaaka mules" primarily because they are closer to my age and I can relate to them better. I also read mouse, achilles, second stage and several others.

You may enjoy bringing your dog on a thruhike but everyone isnt a dog person. Keep it on a leash, if it comes to me I will have my hiking stick out to correct it if you don't. I don't like dogs...

Hey by all means HYOH, don't fall into the must do trap of going to the regular haunts of the other hikers. Going into Helen saved me years ago in a terrible storm. First car that went by was going...

Seems that most people go to Gatlinburg. Are there grocery stores near the park in Cherokee? I know it's a tourist trap also and the Casino does affect the price and availability of rooms but my...

If you don't follow the rules this can cause the Place to be closed down and not there for us to use. Some of us don't drink or smoke and will follow the rules for the use of this nice place.

Yes that can be done. I was thinking that they might like to be a bit greener and make it available for us to buy and download off the internet and save a lot of paper resources. Then each year...

I'm wondering if the ATC will ever spend the time to ebook the Guides and maps for those that want a electronic version. I've added the topo maps I bought and also the ALDHA guidebook and it works...

I know that camping is fairly restricted in the Whites and wonder where people have found stealth sites. Not being able to afford the huts, or want to do work for stay I'm wanting to solo camp and...

Dont try to overthink the problem. Do the hike and enjoy yourself first,,, then worry about the return trip.

I know the camping is very restrictive in New Hampshire but has anyone had problems finding hammock spots along the trail, obviously below in the tree area or near the legal campsites. Did you do...

I see your dimensions but how much insulating material in weight did you end up buying and who did you buy from, going to make my own soon.

Yes you will save big bucks by not smoking or drinking. I'm inclined to not eat town meals because I'm a much better cook and would rather take fresh ingredients to a park or back on the trail,same...

I'm looking for plans or ideas from people that have made a 3 season, overquilt, or have converted a sleeping bag. I'd like to go the 1.1 breathable ripstop route to save some money, with a footbox,...

Followed most of the threads on a couple of websites and finished my flat 12 by 10 tarp last weekend. Thanks for the suggestions.

Do you tack on the seam line of the initial hem?

Does anyone have a link to some help articles or videos of making a 10 by 12 tarp, I know to hem the edges and seal the seams with the proper sealer. Any special ideas about backing for the rope...

Decided I would follow some of the different videos and make my own practice project. Do you think that ripstop nylon 1.9 oz. will be okay for a 225 pound, 6ft. person. This is something to keep me...

How would the G4 light weight pack compare. My diy project weighs in at 18 ounches and its got all I need as to pockets and pads etc.

I've been in several of the stores and looked through the fabric department and still havne't found any ripstop material. Only local store we have thats got it is Joannes and they only sell the one...

I've ordered from Thru hiker and Quetst Outfitter and they both provided great service and pricing.

I know there is a forum for them but has anyone made their own hammock and bug net.... just wondering....

So what is your question,,,,,,, no there is no combination,,, that way everyone makes some money.....and you even get one book in the wrong direction and back to front.:banana

I thank I would want my food put up out of my sleeping area so the critters don't spend the night crawling or knawing near my head.

I've starting to read the Hammock forums, getting familiar with all the lingo and varieties of equipment before I make a decision about how I will sleep on the trail. One question I have is with...

Yeah I can just imagine someone acting as bad as a dog, pissing on your tent, stealing food,,,,growling and barking , charging you
