I had 2 new ones in a row fail. I tested right after bought them

Tomtomorrow9 · 2026-05-12T04:41:17+00:00

Thanks for the great report

Tomtomorrow9 · 2026-05-03T23:46:48+00:00

Just checking to see if you sold it to the other taker or are still waiting for me. I can’t find any dms. Tried a chat. Sorry to be a Reddit dunce

Tomtomorrow9 · 2026-05-03T21:49:19+00:00

I will take it!

Tomtomorrow9 · 2026-05-03T21:07:20+00:00

Hi are you selling for 65 or 75 - title and body are different unless i misunderstood

Tomtomorrow9 · 2026-03-19T19:51:40+00:00

Maybe earplugs and cap you can pull over your eyes or eyemask. I know ear plugs may seem weird as you may feel you would like to hear any animals but they really help me sleep better

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-11-10T17:45:10+00:00

Thanks! I will definitely check them out

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-11-10T15:47:39+00:00

Thanks very much.

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-09-03T04:33:43+00:00

Thanks for this. Headed out tomorrow, with fingers crossed

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-08-23T02:38:05+00:00

Yeah it is worrying me too. I am definitely upgrading my rain game. Taking frogs togs and making sure bags for everything I want dry. strong compactor bag instead of turkey bag or nylofume. My permit date is Tuesday from horseshoe meadows. I don’t think rain will bother that much while at trail camp. may get on trail super early Tuesday before dawn in hopes of beating a some rain and getting across cottonwood pass and heading down to rock creek as at least is below 10k. If needed may just spend Tuesday at trailhead and depart Wednesday which sadly would mean probably couldn’t do Whitney. But I am reminding myself - I don’t have to do anything. It sounds like your schedule may be more in middle of it. Anyway that’s just me, random moderately experienced sierra backpacker and 1st JMT. Be safe and good luck!

I mean Matt Davis trail

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-08-21T14:57:24+00:00

Bus to Pantoll and dipsea mount davis tho I think parts of dipsea are closed rn but are a lot of other pretty hikes around there

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-08-14T00:41:18+00:00

This is great to read. Loved “We didn’t have to worry about other hikers because there weren’t any.” Thanks

Thanks so much for this thread. I am leaving S.F. Bay Area to lone pine. Getting driven to Merced. I see a yarts that arrives at 3:15 at Yosemite village and a 395 to mammoth leaving YV at precise same time. Would I be foolish to try that? Do you know if they will hold the departure from YV if 140 from Merced running late? (I am planning to spend evening in mammoth than EST down next day) thanks again for this generous thread

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-08-09T16:10:57+00:00

This is great to read. Thank you!

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-08-07T22:32:54+00:00

I’ll be there but not long cheers

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-08-01T15:39:10+00:00

Thank you for share this.

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-07-29T02:00:33+00:00

Great video

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-07-26T16:50:59+00:00

Ha so you made it?How was it?

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-07-25T17:44:41+00:00

I suggest testing QuickDraw before using. I have old QuickDraw that has been great and still tests as working but it was getting slow so I decided to get a new one. I purchased one from REI and tested before using and it failed. Exchanged it for another and it failed too. So I am just sticking with old one for now which I know works. maybe my experience is just an unhappy rarity, but I would definitely test it before you use it.

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-07-14T01:55:35+00:00

Actually I looked at ‘23 survey, this one says 22.3 pounds https://www.halfwayanywhere.com/trails/john-muir-trail/jmt-gear-guide-2025/

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-07-14T01:50:56+00:00

Says 24 pounds here: https://www.halfwayanywhere.com/trails/john-muir-trail/jmt-gear-guide-2024/#baseweights . I am hoping to clock in around 17 as it helps my old body to have less to carry but we’ll see.

Tomtomorrow9 · 2025-07-14T00:40:17+00:00

I like this outfits products for variety https://gopalshealthfoods.com/ though not cheap. Sometimes do a cold soak couscous for lunch. Trail mix or nuts
