I am walking into Maine today. I developed tendinitis in one leg so I have slowed down, but I will be on Mt. K soon.

I am walking into Maine today. I developed tendinitis in one leg so I have slowed down, but I will be on Mt. K soon.
I'm hike continues to go well. I hike hard and play hard. I'm up in Manchester, VT now. I have 34 zero days in the bag and lots of fun adventures to report about when I have a bigger keyboard and...
I restarted for om Springer on 2/28/12. I have made it to Pennsylvania on 5/13/12. Hope to complete the trail by 7/30/12.
Sorry for the limited updates and no online journal this year. Everything...
I made my BB ridge line removable. I made a fixed loop for one end and a line with fixed loop on each end. The I connected the parts with a nacrabiner. My suggestion is to make the line with the...
The quilt has gone to anew and loving home.
I'm sorry guys. I messed up the dates. Mindwalk and I won't be able to be there.
I own both and I would get the HG quilt. It has baffles. The WB quilt is sewn through. Big difference in warmth for a slight increase in weight.
Thanks for sharing. Great solution. Do they sell a coating that is reflective?
Looks great. I can't wait to see it in person, up on Springer.
Your Dutch Fly seems oriented in a backward fashion to me, but then again I don't see very much or very well.
I use clear "sail tape." very similar to the tenacious tape. It will work even on wet fabric.
Can someone post a link? I would like to check these out. Thanks!
Not pretty well...LIKE A GLOVE!
I think the book can be purchased on Amazon as an ebook.
I made mine out of Zing it. I did one long length with two fixed eyes, one of those goes out the foot end and connects to the suspension. I made a continuous loop that sticks out the head end and...
Thanks hanginghokie. I will also post updates on HF from time to time.
I made a detachable ridge line for my BB so I didn't have the line in my face when sitting in it like a chair. I think it is also more comfortable as a chair without the ridge line.
I loved my Exos 46, my blackbird 1.0 double, my HG quilts and my CF tarp.
This year I have switched to a 3/4 UQ and a CF pack (Zpack EXO). My pocket rocket worked flawlessly but I switched to a...
I will try to get a weight on my Dynaglide Whoopies (6 ft). That should save some more weight and they less pack volume than Amsteel.
Where the heck is my scale!
I have an extra UQ. Hulk has a hammock. If you have a sleeping bag and we can find a spare tarp you are set! Please pm me if I am supposed to bring the extra UQ!
My appologies for the hijack and insensitivity.
We need to slim down. Our sizes in this country are getting obscene. Sorry I'm not picking on anyone I just think at some point we need to draw a line in the sand.
I'm probably not going to be able to make it. Have a blast!
What size?
You can also use the 1.75 Lash-it if you want stealthy grey. I prefer high vis lines but some people like to hide.
Their products and customer service are amazing. Last year I was stuck in a small town in VA. Adam and Jenny offered to pick me up and shuttle me to trail days! These are the kind of people you want...
The ah-ha moments are great. My hammock moment like that is when I realized I could pull one side of my tarp lower to the ground than the other side. For me I felt like Homer Simpson going "duh" but...
I'm blind...blind as a Bat.
Trees everywhere!
A couple of us are starting on 2/28. Always fun to meet cyber family in real life. 58 days!
Can't wait to see everyone again.
Bump.
Obmit- I could take pics but it is all black so I don't think they will show up well. Packs to a little more than a Nalgene bottle.
Added a 0* full length UQ to the collection :-)
It will be over a weekk before i will be able to figure out the postage. Sorry.
I love to knit!
I have used this TQ down to 14*F.
It is very clean. No holes, rips or other damage. I'm only selling it because I got a super light weight one made for my thru attempt.
Full caldera cone system.
I can't wait for my EXO to arrive!
If you want to go lighter than 1.75 Zing-it. Zpacks sells 1.25 line.
Well hopefully I will save someone from full retail.
Still up for sale.
Trail Designs caldera cone with Foster pot and Stove. Retail $60 selling for $50. I have used in the back yard 4-5 times. The whole kit is all there. Everything is in like new condition. Just a hard...
Bump...you don't see tall people gear for sale as often.
The east looks different than the west. I had fun on the AT. I like how social the AT is. Those are a few of the reasons.
I think you are the second person who has told me that they changed their...
I'm starting on 2/28/12. Had a trailjournal this year but I haven't decided if I'm going to blog for 2012.
For those of us heading out to attempt a thru hike this year. What is your start date and if you are keeping a blog what is the URL?
I used to have a Spinn Big Mambajamba with detachable doors. The doors added as much weight as the tarp weighed. I would get a Cuben tarp with attached doors from hammock gear.com.
The pack and poles might sell faster on Whiteblaze. Both great items!
Rip, well said!
New posts then I start posting things I'm selling then threads I'm subscribed to.
