Though my Big Agnes Q-Core is somewhat heavier than what has been suggested, I do like the fact it is 3" thick, quiet, and with my large inflator, I can have the pad ready in about 2

I used the old, noisier version of the Thermorest XLite and loved it. I believe they have a newer version out which supposedly sounds less like sleeping on a bag of Doritos chips. I was so tired at

I also used a Lixada and thought it worked out well. I went NOBO in late August. I had read somewhere online not to charge my iPhone directly, but instead charge my Anker battery and use that to

I have used the Nemo tensor all season (a previous version) with the pump. I used it in multiple section hikes, and when it finally sprung a leak along the seam, Nemo replaced it for free. I also

I hope it's ok to post a gear question. I did the JMT from Yosemite Valley to VVR in 2022, got stopped last year because of the San Joaquin bridge being out, and have a plan to continue from VVR end

I tested out a Lixada Solar Panel, intended to supplement a 10k battery, on a PCT section hike the last week and a half. So far results have been positive. I was able to charge my phone from the

It looks like you update the Zoleo devices get updates from your phone app.

I'm not sure. I would send a message to the Zoleo support team and ask. Inga

Not bad for the purest of the pure.? The High Mountain Route was intended by its originators to start in Tuolumne/Lyell. Snow Creek, Mist, Sunrise and Tioga Road are just approaches.

The bypass, the Winter Route ( https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/vernalnevadawinter.htm ) , has its own pleasures.? It has the park's best view of Vernal Falls.? The viewpoint is about half way

I can’t wait to get back in the Sierra again. I would take any version. Pct SOBO this year. See you in Sept.

Hiking a long trail in the Sierra with no closures, alternates, etc seems like the exception rather than the rule. “Purists” should really focus on the intent of the trail rather than the exact

Bad news for purists, but a really nice trail alternative, the mist trail: https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/rockslide-closes-yosemite-john-muir-trail-19423152.php

My wife and I tried solar panels a while back and found that a battery was much more efficient. I'm sure current panels are better than the ones we used, but we found that they really didn't generate

Inga, or anyone, can the Zoleo be set up and updated with a Chromebook? (I have an InReach SE and just a Chromebook, and it can't be. If I want to make a change or update and sync it I have to borrow

I took an ECEEN (brand/company on Amazon) 13W panel on the JMT for my various devices and it was great. I had enough things to charge to make it worthwhile (phone, InReach Mini, Kindle, headlamp). It

What have folks used for solar panels while long-distance hiking?

I've used Spot, Garmin and Zoleo and really like Zoleo. It's perfect for my needs. Each person has to decide which features are most important to them. Here's my

I had the original Inreach (Big, heavy, and sucked AA batteries like a vampire), and when I started my planning for doing the JMT, I was counting ounces and got the Inreach Mini. Didn't regret it at

The thing that made me not interested in Zoleo over InReach, is that I find it very reassuring to be able to be able to communicate fully, without a phone. Very unlikely I'll ever end up in a
