I will be in the HMW for about a week at the end of July, rather close to the AT. Let me know if you need something "stashed". If you want specifics, PM me.
It seems to me that Yukon's question revolves around keeping his tent dry. It's pretty obvious and simple answer, that's probably why the thread went OT.

Thanks to all for the good vibes. I sure do want to get back out, but healing is the first priority.
I'll take the issues one at a time, in separate messages, just 'cause it's a bit hard to...
I am the fellow who took the fall. I'm in fair condition, now released from the hospital. Happy to discuss what went right and wrong in the hike. Still wracking my brain to try and identify...
