  • Appalachian Trail hiking is a challenge, there are no easy days on the trail for Billy Blue. Today I logged 15 miles on Day 5 to Unicoi Gap. The hiking was enjoyable but strenuous, a cheap charlie adventure.

    Oh Yea, the military poncho, that's what I used 👍 I spent two weeks in Canada, 10 days non stop rain. With constant high humidity, it was impossible to dry your clothes. I was the only one that stayed dry. Constant vigilance to make sure my clothes were covered. Like you I'm sure, I wish the sleeves were longer, and that it reached down to my boots.
    Thanks for sharing.

      Ponchos are very uncomfortable with the flapping around and snagging on branches. That's why I made a jacket out of my military-issued ponchos. It makes a difference when it comes to rain dripping in, the poncho flapping around, and a more fitting feel while walking. It was like having on a raincoat. Just have to use a waterproof bag inside the backpack to keep the contents dry. These days I'd invest in Gore-Tex and wear the top and bottom when needed.

    Just because you've never used one before isn't a good enough reason to not use at least one hiking pole, it really helps with ascent/decent/creek crossings/racoon defense/etc.

    I’ve used a pancho for rain for many years. It’s the best option I’ve found to keep the pack from getting saturated and weighing a ton. (Rain jackets cause you to sweat, so I’ve found them worthless. A rain cover for the pack helps a bit.)

    I think I'd skip the reviews unless ur just hiking and bullshitting to the camera. Reviews seem odd in the video and it's not ur thing. And I could be wrong but I think the bear bag should be a lot higher in the tree so the bear can't reach it. But ur doing an awesome job, stay safe and stay healthy.
