    Does anyone know or have a reference to the individual elevation gain/loss totals for sections of the Appalachian trail broken down by State? Mostly interested in Pennsylvania and North. Certainly, all would be great. Does anyone want to suggest their preferred maps for these sections?

    Argon gas filled insulating clothing

    Klmit Double Diamond Kinetic Vest review The price isn't that much worse than all the other high end gear around. Hard to tell how much buying extra canisters would run you a season. Being completely adjustable is always a huge plus.
