Any backpackers on getbig
« on: April 13, 2013, 06:12:14 AM »
Me and mine love going on 3 and 4 day hiking trips (minus wife, 4 star hotel is roughing it) but we do 10. Miles in set up our site, jump 2 miles and reset site and then hike out. I drop 5 lbs every trip with 50 ruck stuffed with battle rattle.

Anyone else,

Not yet,  thinking of doing this summer.   Need to get bag, tent, and larger pack.   Prolly start with 2 nighters.

You'll love it...I use eberlestock g4 backpack, little heavy at 9lbs but solid....kifaru is nicer but expensive. Hilleberg tent I have the kaitum 3 works great but always get a footliner, and bag I use is the zpack 20 degree for fall winter very light... And a sea to summit 40 for late spring summer...

If you have questions will be happy to share info...

I spent every summer at a boyscouts camp on lake Sacandaga (spelling ???) for 10 years and we bivouacked on Bear mountain a lot.... Now we do north georgia Appalachian trails and some North Carolina

Daytime 'backpacking' and hiking is great, however, proper sleeping and latrine accommodations are a must.  :)
