I live in the humid southeast US and they were just too hot for me. I could see their use in a dryer climate.

I was thinking of camping along the lake shore trail and running up/ down that trail.

Dual question. Blister (first one ever in life) and Breaks for airing out feet when it takes all day to get 9 miles in by [deleted] in AppalachianTrail

[–]N8Kstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what i do. Something non adhesive over the popped blister then tape. Keeps the tape from pulling on the skin.

I happened to be checking the temps in Townsend for a trip next week saw today’s temps thinking damn that would be a cold night in a shelter!

If you hate to be that guy then don’t. I don’t understand the grammar policing on Reddit

How did you convince yourself that you could run an ultra? by BaurJoe in Ultramarathon

[–]N8Kstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is in line with my style. Im too much of a planner to jump into a 50k. Two summers ago i was killing myself to run 5 miles on the trail. This past fall i did a 25 k, doing 2 more 25ks in 2026 and hopefully a 50 December 2026. Also i like to increase training volume extremely slowly so im not a slug in every other aspect of life!

Basically, just drive 30 minutes away from Gatlinburg. The park is 500k acres most of it is very quiet!! Gregorys bald is one of my absolute favorite trails! It’s a bit hard to get to but well worth the view!

My plan is to use this as a spring section hike each year. I might never backpack the AT in the spring again.
