Winter AT thru-hike advice and gear wanted.
OK, so I've got an acquaintance that has decided to South-North thru-hike the AT, starting Oct. 15. He's ex-military with plenty of survival training, but very little backpacking experience...

Nemo Meta 2P
Nemo Meta 2P looks like the best deal, at $200, but in that range, I think most people here would be happier with a Shangri-La or Tarptent... still tempting though to try one out. Really wanted a N...

POE mats at The Clymb
For $25 each, I had to grab a pair of the POE Peak Mtn Oyl short pads. Only review I could find was for the full-length model, but at 13 oz, it looked worth trying for a pad that should be comforta...

Caldera cone
In looking at Trail Designs website and at reviews, it's hard to tell how large a pot needs to be to fit everything inside. I've got a tiny Isobutane Snow Peak and a couple of different pot...
