I ended up getting a shuttle from Nancy from the FHT website. I paid her $35 plus since I'm a potter I gave her a handmade mug. She was great! She has dogs & had a cover for her back seat. She even...

The hike went really well. There are a few stretches where there wasn't water available for a couple miles (climbing down to burrell's ford & climbing out of the Chattooga River section until Pigpen...

Thank you everyone for the advice! Packs are ready to go & waiting by the door for Saturday morning. I can't wait for a great weekend of hiking.

I've never used a shuttle either. Always either had 2 drivers or a friend/family member who could help. My parents would usually help me near Greenville, but they are hiking in Colorado for a couple...

One more question. Can anyone help me on how much to offer for the shuttle? She let me know it's going to be a 60 mile round trip for her...

That's good to know. I'll be sure to refill on water before I pass Burrell's Ford access.

I was planning on stopping at either White Water falls or the Bad Creek Access. Looks like the next access point going East is Canebrake which adds 16.4 miles to the trip. This is my first...

Thank you OC_Looper & zukiguy,
I suspected I could hammock in more places than the guidebook was saying, but I feel better hearing it from someone who's hiked the trail.
Hoping to do the whole...

Well... I was looking for a lightweight 1-person backpacking tent for when I go places without trees. They made the whole thing larger, added a storage spot for your pack (although I usually just...

Thinking about taking advantage of the 3 day weekend coming up with doing the first chunk of the foot hills trail, going West to East.
Figuring on roughly 30 miles over 3 days.
I think I've got...

I'm working on my first completely diy camping/backpacking hammock setup. Learning a whole lot! I've worked as a professional seamstress (although I'm more in the design end of things now), but I...

Hi InTheTrees, I don't have a hammock stand, but if there's trees for a hammock I'd be interested in one of those spots. I actually lived in Lincolnton for a year recently.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. InTheTrees, I'll let you know if I'd like one of those spots. My usual dog sitters are moving that weekend & I'm waiting to hear back to see if my parents will watch...

Just saw this thread, I've never been to a hang before, but I'm trying to be more social. I've always wanted to head up to Hot Springs too. I'll call up tomorrow and see what's still available as far...
