SUMMARY:The AT Barstool Debates
DESCRIPTION:Imagine several backpackers meeting for the first time over beers at the Doyle\, and the trail talk that ensues: Tents vs. hammocks\, boots or trail runners\, Altras vs. Hokas\, sleeping bag or quilt? Saunter like Muir\, or race like Tara? Bear canister\, PCT hang\, Ursack\, or just use your food bag as a pillow? \nLet’s gather for a virtual pub crawl on the AT\, where we debate different topics at several well-known watering holes along the AT. Audience participation is highly encouraged\, so bring your opinions. Expect a fun\, spirited\, but respectful debate. After last call\, we’ll be one big happy tramily\, and the conversation can continue at the evening campfire.
