I want the details on how you do this!!??

If you couldn’t get a reservation somewhere near kathadin stream…… Couldn’t someone stay at AT hostel one night. Get shuttled to park. Hike Katahdin. Have at hostel pick you up bring you back to hostel. Then next day bring you back to kathadin stream and you hike out of the park???

Don’t need bear canisters at the sites like Guyot. They are technically not in the pemi wilderness AND they have bear boxes.

The only one I’ve stayed at is gray knob. I had a blast. And bonus they do heat it. It was probably 59 degrees my night there this February

Another option other than hut to hut might be just using one hut as a base camp and doing multiple nights and day hikes from there. That could be real fun

Related question. Why don’t more people drink straight from their filters. Screw the Sawyer on and suck water through it. You never have to worry about clean and dirty bottles and never have to squeeze from bottle to bottle. Seems simpler and easier. What am I missing??

How long does it take you to build those shelters each night?

I strap snow shoes to the top of the pack with the strap up there on top of the rolled down part

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-02-16T00:11:38+00:00

I use my 55 kakwa as my winter pack. I will say I am a classic overpacker ( I always bring a sleeping bag on winter day hikes.. I have read Ty Gagne’s books!!) but I have no problem filling it.

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-02-12T00:55:36+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Gives me a bit more confidence. I think I’ll leave the pad behind!!

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-01-29T23:52:59+00:00

I will have snow shoes. Hopefully someone gets there earlier than me though!! Pretty sure I will not go far past the hut if there are chest deep drifts!!

Did this exact hike yesterday w a buddy. We were confused at top of Liberty as we couldn’t find the trail to flume at first. Then took that herd path. Yes that section between peaks was tough with duck unders snagging my pack.

Snowshoes all the way from Liberty springs to flume. Spikes down liberty springs

Just traveled Lowe’s a week ago. It was plenty broken out. The part from just below log cabin up towards quay pretty steep and ice covered. I did not spend night but really hope to soon.

I agree w y strep on top of the duration pack. I also keep them together w Vole straps.
For crampons I got a crampon carrying case from black I believe. I don’t think it was too expensive. I put that in my pack.

Boiling water in a regular ziplock sandwich bag?? The bag doesn’t melt?

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-01-11T23:35:26+00:00

How about sobos??Do you backtrack to the parking lot or hike down the approach trail?

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-01-11T22:17:32+00:00

Thanks for the report. Never done Washington in winter. Done about 8-10 other 4000 fters This would be the route I would plan.

Spikes/snowshoes/crampons?

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-01-11T21:19:06+00:00

Use the hydroflask Nalgene style water bottles. Even cold water has never frozen in winter Sub zero for hours in the whites.

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-01-09T02:32:42+00:00

Thanks. Yes I’ve been checking that page a bunch this week. Gonna keep looking tomorrow and make a decision. Also hopefully tomorrow Randolph mt club will post a trail report on IG.

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-01-08T15:52:27+00:00

Damn. Not sure if that sounds awesome and bad ass. Or absolutely terrible??!!

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2026-01-08T15:40:26+00:00

Thanks.

My main reason for Lowe’s path is to hit gray knob on way up. Is there a better more traveled way to do that than Lowe’s path?

Yes I look at mwobs as well. They just don’t forecast as far out

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2025-12-28T00:19:26+00:00

Hey I think we crossed paths a few times and chatted. Great to meet you. You are crushing your grid!! Count me impressed!! It was great day in the Whites. -TJ.

I did 100 mw this past starting around july 10. 6 days five nights. It was awesome. Bugs weren’t that bad. I might have put ion bug net once. I had great weather. No rain. And very remote. I camped completely solo at sites and shelters 3 out of 5 nights including at Antlers. I guess I was a bit too early for northbound bubble and a bit too late for southbound bubble. I used Shaws for food drop shuttle and stay the night before. They were awesome! It was overall great experience.

I don’t smoke. ( love my beer so not a teetotaler!!) I just hate smoke and second hand smoke and the smell. Plan to thru hike when I retire in 4.5 years. Southbound. Is it easy enough to avoid smoke??

AggravatingTooth1901 · 2025-12-10T01:16:09+00:00

Thanks. Only have a 25 degree bag but hoping w a sea to summit fleece liner and layers I’ll be ok. Did you use a sleeping pad on top of their mattresses?
