A map for the AT
PostThanks guys for the info. I do have the thru hikers companion which I have torn apart for the sections I need. I will check out AWOL website. That sounds like what I am looking for.

A map for the AT
PostI know technology is wonderful, but I still like having a map with all the pertinent info such as towns I will be hiking through, shelters, etc. Is there a map out there that I can purchase when I get to Georgia in April? I tried the links on this website but can't figure out how to get a map such as I need. Any ideas out there?

esbit tabs
PostI usually use an alcohol stove but have a tiny esbit titanium stand for backup. Are there places along the AT where you can purchase esbit or should I leave it at home?

clothes for the AT
PostYep. I already cut my hair shorter than in my picture. I think that's about as short as I dare go before people confuse me with being a guy. A hat and hood should suffice.

clothes for the AT
PostNot sure if this post should be in general or clothes. Newer to site. I am starting the AT in April (3rd. week) at Springer Mt. Confused on what to bring as far as clothes go. What kind of temps should I expect to encounter? I know it can be rainy so have that covered. I know what to bring when I hike in California and what I bring in Minnesota and Isle Royal. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Skirts or pants
PostI am used to hiking in a skirt when I head out to California. In Minnesota, I wear pants. For the AT, not so sure. What do women wear on the AT?

Bug spray on tarps
PostNew to site, so not sure if this is the right forum to ask a specific question. Has anyone tried spraying their cuben fiber tarp with Sawyer Permethrin. If so, any problems with not sticking or harming the fabric? I also want to do my 90 Degree hammock, but that is made from nylon, so should be fine. Am I being totally paranoid with the idea of deer ticks out on the AT? It's bad enough up here in Minnesota. I have sent my hiking clothes to Georgia to get treated.
