    Congratulations! My husband and I have been binging your AT adventure the past couple of weeks. We live in CT had been doing section-hiking the AT as well, until his knees (and life!) got in the way. But you have inspired me to resume the journey this spring, even though it'll likely be solo. We were wondering though, where did you get those little profile maps you were carrying? I searched but could not find them. Also, what technology did you carry and did you rely on any apps for weather, maps, or other info? I will likely purchase the digital map set through Far Out, and get the Garmin Inreach mini, but was curious what was helpful to you.

      To be honest, I don't really know. I don't typically weigh my pack, but my guess is that it was around 30-35 lbs. Have fun out there...this is a great section!

    Stunning scenery, thanks for giving us the opportunity to tag along. I reckon the Minnesota/Wisconsin region would be where I would choose to live in the US if I had the chance (and if only the winters were not so brutal} - from an Aussie follower.

      It really is a beautiful region, and I honestly think the winters are perfect here :) I love having 4 very distinct and different seasons. It's all about wearing appropriate clothing for the temps. If you've never been here in person, you should book a trip!

    • @loamseeker5230
      @loamseeker5230 2 місяці тому

      It's not quite a loop, but the parking lots at either end are only 3 miles from each other, so it's possible to do solo if you're willing to do a short road walk.

    • @loamseeker5230
      @loamseeker5230 2 місяці тому

      I have used 3 different filters in the past, and all of them work just fine. It's really up to personal preference. I have a Sawyer Squeeze, a Sawyer Mini, and a Katadyn Hiker Pro. The Sawyer brand is definitely one of the most popular that I see on trail.

    Probably showing my age, but when I was running around the woods as a youngster, we would call getting a wet/muddy shoe like that a “soaker.” Don’t know if anyone calls it that today or not. Favorite months definitely October, January then May.

    Are you going to do hiking adventures this Winter in the cold and snow and take us along? (Hope so) Also as far as sounds at night in the woods, the red fox screaming in the dark can be spooky if your by yourself. Plus coyotes when they feel threatened really make a unearthly racket in the dark. ( I’m in Bucks County, PA.)

    • @loamseeker5230
      @loamseeker5230 2 місяці тому

      I might do some winter hiking, but I doubt I'll do much backpacking....it gets into the below zero temps up here at night pretty often. Yes, you are correct...red fox noises can be really terrible sounding! I imagine people would be quite frightened of that the first time they hear it.
