JD, Welcome back. I love backpacking and have been on the trail for four days at a time. Great stuff. We're going to have to get together for an 'excursion'...
I just had to settle for whatever water was available including dipping out of some pretty nasty little pools in farmland around NY and NJ. I don't carry a...
Jeff, Glad to hear the Hiker is working for you. It is perfect for our area and as much as I like MSR filters, their elements need cleaned too often around...
Thomas, The Pro Hiker has a membrane 'prefilter' that wraps around the filter element and catches a lot of junk. I just take it off and run in under the tap to...
Thanks Cathy for the Christmas card. It's been a busy Christmas and holiday for me with all of the family at the house. I'll see you all on the trail fairly...

Jeff and/or Cathy, Can you catch us up on the results of that meeting with the USFS concerning multi-use and how it will impact the LST? Just a brief summary...
JD, The LSHT will be staying a 'hiker only' trail. In the future, at some point, there might be another meeting to discuss any changes in status considering...
I have one too. It's good to hear that others are having positive things to say about theirs. I also carry a small bottle of iodine tabs for water that's...
Many thanks, Jeff. I've seen signs of both horse and ATV use on the LST. I was hoping the FS wouldn't open it to horse traffic.....imagine the stench, flies ...
JD, Along the LSHT I've found many small running streams with nice, clear water to filter. I fill my 500 ml bottle on my side and sometimes a 1ltr bladder to...
