About Me Grew up family car/boat camping and then Boundary Waters camping starting in my teen years and into upper 20s. Took up backpacking around 30 and in 2006 at age 32 started having knee problems which quickly put me down the road to lightweight backpacking... the transition is still ongoing and obsessively addictive even though I have pretty much resolved my knee problems.

RE: SHT Thru Hike - May 2009
Certainly looks doable. I'm sure you probably know this, but campsites are not always available. Especially if you hike late into the day, much less on Memorial Weekend. This may be a fa...

Re: Moby Wrap
We also have a moby wrap as well... I never thought to use that. I might have to try that out on a day trip with a pack to see how it carries.

Re: Spring Gear List
I second that your list is pretty tight... I agree that the down pants might be overkill unless you need them to supplement your sleeping bag. My recent October trip saw temps down to 20F/-6C a...
