Good info and tips! For whatever reason, I never thought of filtering while hiking - I'll have to try it out. Looking forward to my vicarious thru with you.

It’s either filter or tablets or UV pen. This time of year I carry very little water. I just drink a bunch at water sources.

I wore HOKA Speedgoats on my 2023 through hike. I only found one location where I could get a new pair on the trail and that was in Delaware Water Gap. Had my wife send me a new pair every 500 or so miles. New pairs were a full size larger - so from a 10.5 to 11.5. I started with my normal size and for me it was a mistake. By about mile 100 I was losing all my toenails. Had I to do it again, I would start half a size larger. By the way, it's been 7 almost 8 months since I summited and my feet are still 11.5, so a lot of old shoes went to Good Will. I wore a 55L Hyperlight and wish I had gone with a 40L. My hike was Feb - Jul. Best of luck out there. Will be following.

Thanks for the info. I normally wear a 14 so my I hike with 15. Tough to get anywhere, so ordering is usually my only option. I hear the toenail issue a lot. Has to be tough to keep going.

One of the largest snows near the Smokies happened in mid March 1998. 22 inches near Bryson City / NOC area. Don’t send winter gear home too soon.

Understood. I grew up in Appalachia and understand how unpredictable she can be. Thank you for the concern.

Could you explain how you refill your gas canisters at hiker boxes?

I’ll try to video it next time I do it. Helps to be near a freezer. I have a small valve from Amazon. I’ve only bought one can so far. See how long before I need to buy another one.

I wonder if you have the new Flextail or the old one with the light?

I have an orange one with a three stage led light. Love it. Just not necessary for this long trip. I use the inflation sack for my camp clothes and a backup pillow. Lots of people have their Flextail with them and lots of people borrow it!
