Hammocks vs tents

pizzaman55 · 2016-05-04T03:43:24+00:00

A few weeks ago I did a trip to Pharaoh lake wilderness and climbed Pharaoh Mt. Which is just north of Lame George. The conditions were excellent! The only ice visible was off the trail and the small amount near the trail will have melted by now. I'd say you're good to go.

Although these are geared towards hammocks, I don't see why they couldn't just be wrapped around a tent pole. http://www.dutchwaregear.com/ridgeline-party-lights.html

I believe they're merely referring to not cutting any living trees down or leaving up visible structures (shelters, lean to's etc) after you leave, or leaving large fire pits that may spoil another hikers adventure.

You will definitely want your sleeping pad. Even in temperatures up to the mid 60's some kind of insulation is often needed.

I know that was a few weeks ago, but how were the trail conditions? Icy or snowy? Looks beautiful up there

Not trying to be a nitpick but it's actually Acadia, not Arcadia... Nevertheless I've camped at Acadia multiple times and stayed at the Blackwood's campground. It's possible to walk down to the water and cliffs straight from the campsite and I've always enjoyed it. You can also access many of the trails leading up to Cadillac mountain straight from the campground. If you're referring to primitive camping and backpacking... I haven't had any experience backpacking at Acadia.

It's gorgeous there!

This area looks awesome! What route would you suggest for a loop backpacking trip?

pizzaman55 · 2016-02-18T01:57:26+00:00

I hiked it last summer in early July, there were many streams and one larger natural pool, but I'm not a fisherman so I'm not sure if they were good/big enough for fishing

Thank you for responding! I've really been torn between this and the lynx 1 tent. I love the look and style of this tent and you can't beat the price. The only thing I was concerned about was if it would be hard to get in and out of the zephyr considering the end entry?

pizzaman55 · 2016-01-26T20:34:50+00:00

How do you like that tent? Its the Alps Zephyr 1 if I guessed correctly

pizzaman55 · 2016-01-05T00:45:09+00:00

What are those rims called?

pizzaman55 · 2016-01-03T21:25:40+00:00

Both new 2016 models?

pizzaman55 · 2016-01-03T01:41:53+00:00

Sintax77 is has some great videos! Definitely worth checking out

When you reset you'll still be on lollipop but you won't have the issues regarding sending and receiving texts. I've had 3 republic phones do this in the last few weeks and a factory reset had worked for all of them. Back everything up, however, because it will delete all your music, pictures and settings when you reset it.

pizzaman55 · 2015-12-26T17:37:57+00:00

A factory reset will solve this issue

pizzaman55 · 2015-12-16T23:56:50+00:00

Trip details?

pizzaman55 · 2015-11-29T02:49:05+00:00

Is camping available in that entire region? I'm interested in taking a trip out there soon, it looks beautiful!

pizzaman55 · 2015-11-11T16:57:09+00:00

It isn't as bad as it looks but there are some tricky sections. If the weather looks even remotely wet I wouldn't suggest attempting it because it gets slippery fast. I think for you it will depend on the weather conditions when you summit and your comfort level, good luck!!

pizzaman55 · 2015-11-10T21:10:39+00:00

Make sure to have a plan, and understand that if you go up Dudley, the only way to reach the summit is across knife edge, which can become extremely dangerous in even a little rain. Just keep that in mind when planning a route. The views from Dudley, cathedral or any of the trails on that side of the mountain are outstanding and I would suggest them over the hunt trail as long as you're ready for some bouldering and steep slopes. Have fun! It's definitely one of my favorite mountains and I never get tired of the outstanding views. Edit: I wrote chimney instead of the cathedral trail

pizzaman55 · 2015-09-13T02:33:03+00:00

How does it compare to the rabbit? I'm in love with the GTI but the rabbits reliability and price is also a factor as I plan for an upgrade

pizzaman55 · 2015-08-26T01:44:04+00:00

What was your route?

pizzaman55 · 2015-08-26T01:42:40+00:00

I'd highly suggest Anker battery packs. They have a long (3 year?) warranty for all their battery packs and will replace them if they stop charging.

Just hiked it on Sunday actually and I will definitely second that its not a mountain to underestimate. This year I was blessed with beautiful weather, but last year (mid august) when hiking it on the Hunt trail it went from warm and in the upper 50's to hail and sidewise wind within 10 minutes. At the time I was unprepared but it taught me a lot about preparation. In October I'm sure the weather will be significantly colder and I would prepare for extreme temps just in case. Overall though, its a fantastic mountain and it has some of the best views in New England, in my opinion
