I leave for my thru hike right after passover. Elmer in hot springs is a good guy, that is a good suggestion. I'm sorry I can't help you, but as a fellow Jew, I wish you a happy passover, and I hope...

I've never used the ohm, but ula is a pretty damn good company, so you can trust them. I would try one on with weight in it if you could. If it's comfortable and can hold all your stuff, then go with...

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I have remedied the problem some-what. I can get it to be almost all the way taught by keeping the stakes about 3 inches out of the ground. But, doing this...
I was given the name kindman on my first section hike of the AT. It was given to me by a hiker named red-b, who had recently finished a thru-hike. Red, his girlfriend, and I hiked from kincora to...
The wall is supposed to be about six inches high, but it sags, so it is about 3-4 inches high. This is not a life or death issue, but it would be nice to fix it.
