The sack should be super comfy.
Should be a good option for above the tree line.
Am not a gear guy but I wouldn't worry about the stove.

It's inconvenient to do anything but heat up precooked food with the esbit, especially if there's wind.

Has anyone managed to fit one of these remote canister stoves inside a 'pot cookset' with the fuel can? Like a 1L pot. I know people do the on top of canister type stoves all the time in small pots, but I want something closer to the ground for actual cooking.

Is Pine Mountain, that runs along the border of Virginia and Kentucky part of the Plateau province or the Ridge and Valley province?

It's a long irregular curved ridge running ~ 120 miles continuously from Cumberland Gap to Russell Fork and some geology sources seem to regard it as an extension of the allegheny front, which is both the separation point where the plateau begins running westward, and also where the terrain is most markedly divergent in steepness from east (much more) to west (much less).

But if you just look at a map, both Pine and Cumberland/Stone/Black mountains seem to be up on the plateau and the true Allegheny Front is at Osborne ridge roughly where Flag Rock is outside Norton, Virginia for example. Norton would be on the plateau, the other side (Dungannon) would be the first valley of the ridge and valley as the terrain gradually flattens eastward towards the sea.

The terrain SE of Pine Mountain has diagonal/dendritic shaped creeks - rather than the perpendicularly arranged creeks running 90 degrees into the river valley that you see in the ridge and valley.

So are these papers wrong, and in fact Pine Mountain is not the edge of the plateau or what is going on here? Why would a plateau have a long ridgeline like this geologically?

usually there's a very defined, demarcated shift where the land on one side of the boundary looks quite different from the land on the other side.

look what I found, not the same area, but similar terrain
so it looks like the plateau has a lot younger rocks closer to the surface whereas the surface of the ridge and valley is millions of years older and there's a discontinuity along the fault between the ridge and valley and plateau

I guess maybe there's multiple faults along pine mountain interacting and that might be what is so confusing

Do you guys prefer short, but steep hikes, or long hikes with gentle slopes?

For instance, going 3000ft elevation gain in ~2-3mi vs 10-15mi

I would bet you my life's savings that my brother would never be able to make it up that mountain or even a mountain with half the elevation gain. Years ago, we hiked up a mountain with 500' of gain and he barely made it.

Over 40% of Americans are obese so there are more like him. Many of them would have no chance of making it up Quandary or any 14er that you couldn't drive up.

I‘m sure I’m not the first one to ask so if anybody can link me some old threads, that would be appreciated. I want to get away from technology and everything and just live a simple life outside. I have a lot of different skills from all the jobs I worked over the years like carpentry, gardening and farming (relevant to this post I worked a bunch more stuff) and I know I can build a hut from scratch so I’m not some kind of dreamer who never worked with his hands, I know the danger, risk and difficulties of what I’m trying to do.

my question now is where?

I thought about Canada, Alaska or the Scandinavian countries (looked mostly at Norway) but the winters there are fucking hard and not having any sun for like half a year would also make it difficult to farm I think (and would simply be depressing). Where can you go and just built something in the woods and live your life? If I have to buy some land that would also work as long as it is not too expensive.

If you want to do any rocky rides then get mtb. Over time you can just buy a second set of wheels and swap them when you gonna hit the road.

Gravel is a meme. Wide tire makes you slow on the road and no suspension makes it unbearable on anything more than flat / sandy forest roads

>>2756523
Gravel is quite a broad term. They're hybrid bikes. They're somewhere between a touring bike and a mountain bike. There is no standard gravel bike. Some have 3 chainrings, while others 1. Most but not all have a lot of attachment points to carry bags. They usually have no suspension. Steel frames are common, but aluminum or carbon also exists.

I don't mind taking my gravel bike through the occasional muddy path, but it is certainly not made for extreme mountain biking or technical tracks. They're made for long distance unhardened but non-technical paths.

Meanwhile mountain bikes have gotten more specialized over the years. Can't really imagine doing long tours with one of them.

phase i's are for real property due diligence. every real property, except inter-state / tribal / federal shit. there are no requirements for SFR; however, interested parties can always pay two or three thousand for an ESA if they feel like it. 90% of the phase i esa jobs are commercial properties, like taco bell, apt complexes, malls, warehouses, etc...

if you want to discuss those federal reports where they investigate EVERY aspect of disturbing untouched land that travels across multiple states, you are thinking of NEPA reports. NEPA. NEPA.
