Hey all. Looking to sell my Motrail. Good tent, but I have difficulty setting it up alone due to my smaller stature. Looking for $220 for it. Used on 4 trips. Bought in spring of 2017.

Seam sealed by Tarptent. No modifications made. 4 stakes. No extra guylines. Around 36 ounces weight.

I'm hiking Cumberland Gap National Park this weekend. Forcast calls for Cold (30 degrees F) and rain Saturday night and Sunday morning.

That has me debating if I can still safely wear my trail runners, or if I should switch back to my waterproof Merrell boots.

Thoughts? Tips on how to manage freezing temps and wet shoes?

I wanted to thank this sub for helping me get my pack weight down. I've been lurking or reading this sub for a few years and learned a lot!

I went to Grand Teton National Park in 2014 on a family trip. My family aren't really hikers, so we did the tourist circuit. Looking up at the Tetons, I hoped I'd have a chance to go back and backpack the park.

My lighter pack for the trip: https://lighterpack.com/r/lg2nr . I probably could have ditched the fleece for a base layer. I'm still trying to conquer my fear of being cold. I hit the trailhead with 26 pounds total pack weight. I'd estimated closer to 28, so I was pretty happy with that.

The weather was great. Highs in the 70s, lows in the u

Washed my quilt yesterday per their instructions. Mine was lofting poorly and reeked.

Now it smells good and lofts better, but there are points with low or no down. I've tried their advice on redistributing the down with no success. It seems like much of it has migrated to the outer baffles. Any advice?

Hey all! I got a great deal of value out of my last shakedown request. Wanted to get some feedback on my packing list for a Grand Tetons trip next month. I haven't done much hiking in the Mountain West besides two Philmont, NM treks. Am I overpacking clothes for the season?

Thanks in advance!

Hey all!

I've learned alot from this subreddit. Used to be 25-30 lb base weight hiker who's seen the advantages to not being a mule all weekend. Sold off alot of my original heavy gear and have upgrade my stuff over time to what I have in might lighterpack below. Looking for suggestions to replace smaller things, and general critique of if I'm bringing the right stuff, or omitting something I'd have an "oh shit" moment on later. I've been backpacking for about 6 years now, so I do understand that a list is not a holy grail and has to be adjusted based on the specific conditions of the trip. That being said:
