Maryland Hike Gear List

[Hooch]

Alrighty, so Dancer and I are coming down to the wire before our Maryland Section hike next week. Today is my last day off before we leave for Harpers Ferry after I get off work Monday night.

I really don't care about numbers, I just know it feels comfortable on my back and that's all that matters. Y'all have fun with the gear list. Dancer and I will post a trip report and pics after we get back. We've been looking forward to this hike for a while now and can't wait! See some of y'all at the MAHHA Hang next Friday!

Thanks, but no need for an extra light, have a small keychain light on my hammock ridgeline. The knife I have now is sharp as a razor and **** near bombproof.

Ive done that, many times, at different times of the year.

Its beautiful country.

See if you can find the "devils playground." It used to be a great scramble area.

oh my.... I just looked up your knife.....
It comes in my favorite color, pink!!! Would you happen to know if all the "stuff" that goes with the knife is also in pink??? The pictures only show the black.
Thanks Hooch... looks like I'll be adding more to my Christmas list!!! I bet my mom freaks out when I tell her I want a pink knife

.......hang it off a zipper on your pack.......

You know what? I was just looking at my pack and it dawned on me that it doesn't have a single zipper. Not one. Cool.
