How cold have you camped in with that paria quilt and were you pretty comfortable? I am tempted to get something with a lower temp rating then my old 35 degree bag.

@nathancowart4713 they say you can take this quilt down to 15 degrees F comfortably..personally I have taken it down to the mid 20s and was perfectly fine! I like the sleeping bag strap and the footbox! Keeps me warm for sure

Is there room for a bear canister? Think I checked out that pack and it was a tight squeeze. Otherwise a really nice pack! Nice kit.
@polesofdestinyhiking11 сағат бұрын
@bellad.3435 I'm sure you could use the Y Strap for that! I'll have to use something to immitate a bear can and I'll have to try it when I do my full review on the pack.

I have that Nemo switchback. I cut it down to torso length and use it as a sit pad, a kneeling pad, a place to pile my stuff when I set up and break down camp and at night it goes under my air pad for more comfort and insulation. I've had it about 5 years and it's still going strong. I picked up a Flextail pump not too long ago and it is awesome! Looks like you have your items pretty dialed in. 👍🏻

Those are great choices for budget friendly gear. I started out with that same Klymit pad and never had any issue with it. Did have an issue with a different model klymit. However, because I'm a little "older" I had to move to a thicker pad to comfort these bones. Glad you're going to do the Foothills Trail. I did that in 2021 and enjoyed it. I might go back one day and do it the other direction and take a little more time to enjoy it. I also plan to thru hike the Pinhoti whenever I have freedom to be gone for a few weeks. Stay cool! It's so freaking hot!

Hi there, I’m pretty sure that’s “Coal” - that’s what we called the dog we found at Clairmont Gap on 4/26. He hiked (or led) me and two friends 6+ miles to Adam’s Gap. We were thru hiking the Pinhoti and couldn’t take him with us to the hostel that night. The hostel owner from Talladega said she was pretty confident he had a home in the area. Especially because he had a collar and seemed clean and well cared for even though he was skinny. We were literally in tears to leave him because he’s such a sweet pup, but she told us that lots of people in the area have dogs that just roam and we hoped he’d find his way home. IDK if someone was missing him or if he had a microchip. I know he wasn’t neutered. If he was truly a lost pup, sounds like he’s lucky to have found a good home.

I am retired and we moved here from the Atlanta area (my wife is from Jones County). I have been hiking since 1972 and regularly since 1990 when we moved to the Birmingham area for my work. I have a channel showing mainly hiking but also travels, etc. My email address can be found in my channel. Would enjoy corresponding with you regarding hiking. God Bless!

That is a good tent. People either love them or hate em. Just need to seam seal it and a can of silicone. The company had some quality issues on the 2.2 but they fixed them. They were very good about answering the phone when people called to complain which now gives them a good reputation in customer service.

Had Altra for 5 years. Switched to Topo pursuits 18 months ago.. Love them. Not going back to Altra. Topo has much better grip from sole and lasts twice as long. More arch support and better mid foot support... Better ankle lock, no rock plate but much better protection. Mid sole doesn't flatten as much over time. Altra feel like slippers, but get too soggy over time. But, you will notice a more arch support and mid foot hugging from topo. Plus topo doesn't feel tippy like Altra.
