Cold weather gear

I hope the better recovery news direction sticks so you can get back at it.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

I am making plans to start hiking the mountain to sea trail in North Carolina, it will be in sections but my goal is to do all of it.

I wish I was closer to the mountains in NC. ENC is flat and boring AF. This is the first I’ve heard of this though, seems kind of cool based on a real quick search.

The trail is a real bear in the mountains, but you are right in that once you get to the piedmont or eastern part of the state it can get boring. But you can also make time and haul A if you need to. Some sections you can easily do in a weekend. The Durham County section follows the Eno River, mostly in Eno River State Park, and is doable in a long day.

Haven't watched this one yet(just started watching this guy in 2021), but usually points out a lot of neat things to see on trails.

Thanks for sharing that. I watched about 15 minutes, will watch more later.

I have done the NC portion of the Appalachian Trail, which is nice, but I am looking forward to the MST.

Survival straw or two and a light metal cup for melting snow/drinking water? I didn’t see that anywhere…sorry if I missed it.

Wow...great info on this thread, things/items I never considered or thought about for the past 20 years or so. Will take all this advice in the event I travel north at some point. In my locale, cold weather gear is a long sleeve t-shirt.

I've recently discovered biolite products. The company offers off-grid personal-scale energy products for cooking, charging, and lighting. I'm thinking about addressing the biolite customer support by link and finding out more about their products. Did anyone try them?

How does the mil surplus silk weight undergarments perform as compared to capilene?

I was/am in the market for some additional capilene pieces but now a single pair of midweight bottoms is $80+
A compete new set of the gen III ECWCS silk weight was $30

Haven't tried out milspec stuff yet and hope they do well.
