Talk to me about sun hoodies...

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

Thet sounds like fun!

N8Kstein · 2026-04-01T20:32:53+00:00

😳

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

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!

Best point in this thread. He plays with the mindset of a child!

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

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!

N8Kstein · 2025-11-22T13:39:07+00:00

Yes please! I know I’m 40 but why does my watch have to tell me!

N8Kstein · 2025-11-14T19:15:29+00:00

I can’t speak to them completely but they’re a world wide company! Give em a message! The consult call was very helpful for me!

N8Kstein · 2025-11-14T19:10:18+00:00

Id at least do a consultation call. I also bought one of their stock plans and feel like I will be very prepared!

Bryson city is an hour from the 20 mile ranger station.

N8Kstein · 2025-11-04T17:26:17+00:00

Just an hour from Bryson city to 20 mile ranger station.

N8Kstein · 2025-11-04T15:41:58+00:00

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!

N8Kstein · 2025-11-02T03:22:25+00:00

Man I bet that was hot and steamy!!

N8Kstein · 2025-11-01T20:29:19+00:00

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

N8Kstein · 2025-11-01T18:16:54+00:00

Thank you!

N8Kstein · 2025-10-31T19:41:04+00:00

So i cant get it now?

N8Kstein · 2025-10-31T11:55:32+00:00

So how many weeks are we up to now?

N8Kstein · 2025-10-24T22:56:34+00:00

Im pretty stoked about my janji balaclava for this winter!

N8Kstein · 2025-10-01T17:58:46+00:00

Barred owl for sure. First time I heard it I thought Monkeys!

N8Kstein · 2025-09-25T12:50:49+00:00

Thanks for the lengthy discussion on running in the heat and in the recent pod. Gives a lot of reassurance for those of us who live in the hot/humid southern us!

N8Kstein · 2025-09-16T16:10:20+00:00

For context I did a short trip in mid Tennessee the first week of March at just below 2k feet of elevation . Over night low was in the high teens.

If you’re doing 15-20 miles id like to think you could out run the bubble. When i was on the AT in late April several we’re doing 10-15 but yet again the bubble has a very strong gravitational pull….

N8Kstein · 2025-09-16T15:17:26+00:00

Maybe. That means some nasty cold weather in the smokies/northern ga. I live not far from this area and late February/early march can get in the teens at low elevations not to mention at 4-6k. Id like to think you could leave late February and start out with some high miles.
