Re: TR 5/24/23 - 5/28/23 Feldtmann Loop
Great reports, thank you for sharing. I'll be doing the same trip in reverse, but am so looking forward to the beauty and solitude. This will be my second trip and I'm hoping to see the moose that evaded me the first go-round.

Re: August Weather
Aug '22 I wore everything I had (wool T, wool long sleeve, fleece, puffy, & raincoat) one night at Moskey...and I was still chilled.

Re: Guys who caused the Mt. Franklin Fire Charged
I'm glad they caught them. Their negligence impacted my '22 trip. Still had a great time, but not what I'd spent a year planning.

Re: First timer looking for feedback
In '22 I did the end to end, with a few different camp site. As others have said, Windigo to he tower is in the tunnel, but you're on IR, so you won't care. Stayed at Island Mine and had a relaxing first night. S. Desore for a water refill and over nighted at Hatchet. Then off to Todd Harbor, one of ...

Re: Pre-Taping Feet?
I've taped, but with leukotape, I'd recommend taping a few days before hitting the trail. The tape seemed to meld to the skin better with warmth and time. I hiked IR last year with sock liners and darn tough wool socks without issue.

When I was there last year, I didn't see anyone with a radio.

Post Hike Showers
I'll be arriving on IR in 12 DAYS! So excited . Quick question as I gather, sort and resort my gear. Showers at RH, what's the current price and are towels included for the price? What to make sure I pack accordingly. I've read the 2022 Greenstone, but there's no mention. Thanks!

Re: trail runners and socks
I wore darntuff wool socks with ingeni liners with my tail runners in Dolly Sods recently. Feet were wet most of 3 days without a single blister or hot spot.

Re: Is new store in Windigo open yet?
So if Windogo store isn't open, where do I get fuel upon arrival?

Re: Zero day options: Todd Harbor or McCargo Cover and Why
Bobcat & S_R_L...thank you for your feedback. I'd prefer the solitude aspect and time to enjoy the island.

Re: Normally hang between the trees, but...
Thanks for the feedback. For this trip I’ll have a Warbonnet Superfly tarp that is plenty for coverage and with doors, can be pulled closed if it rains.

Normally hang between the trees, but...
I'm normally a hammock camper, but after reading the many postings of hammock use in IR, I'll become a ground dweller for this trip (Aug 20-27, 2022). I'm considering a 1-P tent or a Paria Breeze mesh tent & tarp combo (https://www.pariaoutdoorproducts.com/products/backpacking-tent-breeze-mesh-tent ...
