This was an outstanding day hike and according to several local sources in the top 4 of the most difficult hikes in the Smoky Mountains. For this hike we stayed in Gatlinburg and drove to Cosby to start our hike. Cosby is somewhat of a hidden jewel and unless you’re a hiker you really […]

ZPacks™ Hexamid Solo-Plus Tent Well I resisted the urge to purchase a Cuben Fiber tent for quite some time but I finally caved in for many good reasons. A few reasons that I resisted are that generally speaking, anything made of Cuben Fiber tends to be pricey and another is just to resist the […]
ZPACKS GROUNDSHEET PONCHO! Get it you won’t regret it!
So I’ve got a few other pieces of gear from Zpacks and they are all outstanding! Needless to say, I’ve have had my eye on the groundsheet poncho for awhile and I finally found some extra cash laying around so I bought it. I’ve only used it once as a poncho and it did exactly what it […]
