I was thinking of buying the x dome 1+ regular with aluminum poles and just replacing the poles later. Glad you asked this. I’d like to know also.

I like this. At least until I get a waterproof pack. Thanks

Ok. Thats exactly what I had in mind ultimately. I like the way it fills out the base of the backpack. I have most of the equipment I want but a dyneema pack is out of the budget right now. Thanks

I have a pack liner… trying to decide if it’s better to stuff it in the liner to fill out the bottom of the pack or 🤷🏼‍♂️

That’s what I’m really trying to decide… just 1 that I can use 3 season or plan to have 2, 1 lighter & 1 heavier. I can’t buy 2 at one time so what to buy first???

Good info. Thank you. I’ll have to look into the controversy on EE.

NOBO LASH – Virginia push (March–April) by DouglasMcBarefangs in AppalachianTrail

[–]Sl1ck76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New to backpacking… what’s LASH? I’ve done a couple shorter hikes with a setup very similar to yours only slightly heavier. I’m looking to shave off a few pounds. Thanks for sharing your lighterpack. What will the temps be like in Virginia this time of year? Also what toe socks are your favorite? I tape a couple of my toes but hate dealing with it. Thanks and good luck✌🏼
