Chase is an Eagle Scout with a ton of backpacking experience and I am brand new to the world of hiking and backpacking. Along for the trail is our trusty 4 year-old Australian Shepherd, aptly named Sheila. Follow for gear reviews, insights into preparing for a long-distance hike, and information on hiking with a dog.

Tent replacement
I’m thinking we are going to upgrade to this Tarptent Stratospire 2. After an overnight with the dog in the Marmot, we decided we don’t have enough room for us all.
And this tent is about 52% lighter (Marmot Astral 2P: 4lbs 13oz vs Tarptent Stratospire 2: 2.5 lbs).
Now all that’s left is to order it before our November shakedown!

Pisgah National Forest
I think this is where we are going to be in early November for our winter shakedown. I’m thinking of looping somewhere behind Davidson Campground on the Art Loeb trail.
Anyone have any experience out here?
