Nice to see you are heading out for another adventure. May your equipment bring you safety and comfort. Wishing you success and good fortune. Happy Trails! BTY, I summited Katahdin on the 18th of June. Ascending the Hunt Trail was a real physical challenge. WOW! Descending, the Abol Trail was slightly easier. I am bruised and embarrassed(lost my way down) But done. I guess my trail name can be Wrong Way. Best wishes!

I have a question about your puffy. I’m 5’3” and 120#. But need room to get in and out with no ROM in one shoulder. What size did you wear. I’m thinking I need small and not medium to maneuver since I can’t raise my arm. Thanks for any advice!

I wear a medium cotopaxi fuego hooded down pullover, but my Lighthear Gear hoodie in this video is a small. The medium cotopaxi down pullover is a little big, but it keeps me warm. If you have a bad shoulder, I’d recommend looking at a zip up puffy so that you can put your limited ROM arm in first and not have to worry about raising your arm to get it in a pullover. I think a small should fit you really well if you do a zip!

Thank you so much. I followed you last year and was blessed by your hike. My brother and I were planning a section hike of VA in October. The 8th of October I was hit by a serious case of Guillain Barre after a minimal virus. Long story longer( I’m sorry… lol) I was in rehab for5 months, learning to walk and all the stuff. So.. your my eyes and legs until I can get back out there. Thank you so much.. you’ll never know how much I appreciate you and others out there that take time to bring us alongside.. God bless you!!✌️🙂❤️

For road races, I use an elastic race belt which has two cord locks to attach my race numbers. Some race belts also come with elastic loops sewn on to hold gel packets (which are useful for longer races). For trail races, I've tied/looped a short length of thin cord with two cord locks to the back of my hydration pack and attach the race number to that.

In the 7.5 miles, I found 2, but they were within the first 2 miles. The Far Out map is a little more difficult to read for the MST. The official paper/PDF guides from Friends of the MST look good, though. I’ll be using a mix of those and Far Out to plan my sections.

Hi! I'm so surprised by your pick of the "flattest" section. I'm brand new to backpacking and my very first overnight was after hiking the first 5 miles out of PenMar. OMG, I thought it was so hard, lol!!! But probably that has to do with the facts that this was my first time carrying a fully loaded pack, I'm new to hiking, and I'm in my 60s. I know I'll only get better as I do this more often. BTW, I really enjoyed following your thru hike!
@cobwebroseonthetrail2447 Ай бұрын
Thank you so much! I’m so happy that you got out there and tried backpacking! That first hike is hard no matter where you go. I picked that section as the “flat” one because in comparison to the whole AT (think about sections like the Whites with lots of elevation gain and loss), it is “flatter” in the sense that you are doing a lot less overall up and down each day. Flat is really a misnomer for anywhere on the AT in my opinion. Happy trails!!

Hey Cobweb Rose - it's me again -- from Pennsylvania. On a previous post I mentioned that me and my niece (from Asheville!) are going to Trail Days this month. I'm in the area/staying 5 days but she has only Sat/Sun. We wanted to do a short hike to see Grayson Highlands and the ponies. Looks like it's quite a walk from Damascus - maybe too far for an "out and back" hike. Do you know if there's a spot we could drive to & park for a short(er) walk to the most scenic area of GH? (My niece says that Max Patch is easily accessible from a nearby parking lot, so something convenient like that for GH would be ideal.) Thought you might be familiar. I don't want to spend any time missing the festivities of Trail Days. Is your tramily coming in for it? You'd be so welcome to join us (our A.T. celebrity guests!) for the GH hike if it can happen. Thank you so much - Barry Holquist

Hi! Yes! We’ll be at Trail Days! We can’t wait! If you’re looking for an out and back to the best of the Highlands, I recommend hiking in from Massie Gap! You can drive to the trailhead from Damascus, and you can join up with the AT by following the trail towards Mt. Rogers (but you should see ponies without having to go all the way to Mt. Rogers). I hope you guys have a blast!!

@cobwebroseonthetrail2447 2 ай бұрын
My opinion of pack weight is that you are the person carrying it (the people telling you that you have to be lighter are not hauling your pack on trail), so if you’re happy with what is in your pack and can’t or don’t want to take anything out of it, no problem! Once you get on trail and start using what’s in your pack all the time, you can decide if you want to send anything home!

Great review and it’s a nice tent. Did you use a ground sheet ?? I know punctures are a risk. It also seems like most tents used by AT hikers have mesh walls so they don’t keep the cold wind out. Isn’t that a preference? I think that would kind of bother me on cold nights.
@cobwebroseonthetrail2447 3 ай бұрын
Snapshot used a tyvek. It’s a cheap, durable option a lot of thru hikers like. I’ve heard that if you throw it in the wash before taking it on trail, it softens up a bit and makes it less noisy on the initial few uses. He never got any holes in his tent floor. All tents that I know of come with the mesh walls. It’s bug netting so that you’re not joined by a thousand little winged (or just creepy crawly) friends while you sleep. It also increases circulation of air in your tent, which will decrease condensation - your real enemy with long-distance tent camping. If we’re being honest, even a really good pitch of the tent won’t fully keep cold wind out. You’re sleeping outside in the elements, and a few millimeters of silnylon isn’t going to keep out cold. My suggestion would be to find a good sleeping bag and sleeping pad which help add lots of warmth for cold nights! Hope this helps!
