I have thought about hiking the Appalachian trail for quite some time. I have decided that it will happen in two years after my son graduates from high school. The only problem is that I now need to pick out some gear. I plan on starting to look at tents over the next few days. I think that 1 person lightweight all weather tents would be a perfect choice. I am looking at the Hooligan lightweight 3 season backpacking Tent . This tent appears to be a good choice with a large floor area and rain fly. The Alps Mountaineering hiking tent is another possibility that is lightweight and easy to set up. It has a decent size floor area and great ventilation. Now the Zephyr is a very lightweight and easy to set up hiking tent . It seems to be good for most weather issues and will allow for a large floor area. After looking at these three tents I will have to decide what I want to use. Looks like I may be looking to purchase the Zephyr. Jeremy

So I have started getting in to hiking a lot now. I started hiking 5 to 7 miles twice a week. Next month I plan on starting to do some overnight trips. I have decided that I will be using a Alps Mountaineering tent for my overnight trips. I have checked out the reviews and it appears to be a good choice. Now I am still looking for a good backpack to take. I want it to be light weight but very durable. Since I was in the military for 10 years I am sort of leaning towards my old rucksack but that would be a little heavy. I have looked at the Bulldog Daypack and a few others from Pro Camping Supply. So if anyone has any ideas on good equipment please let me know.. Thanks
