My hiking team - the guys that joined me for Duncan Knob earlier this year, is planning our next outing to Signal Knob near Front Royal. That will be a week from this Saturday.
As part of our prep, here's some helpful advice from a friend on Facebook: Appalachian Outdoors Adventures... There are ten essentials for backpacking. Without them you a short trip could turn into a longterm disaster. No matter how short a trip you are taking anything can happen and you need to be prepared. Essential #1 - Water, #2 - Compass, #3 - Extra food, #4 - First aid kit, #5 - Fire starter, #6 - Flashlight/headlamp, #7 - Extra clothing, #8 - Pocketknife, #9 - Map, #10 - Whistle.
I am planning to use my larger Rum Runner pack on this one.
And here is the Hiking Upward review as a happy reminder of our hike: http://www.hikingupward.com/GWNF/SignalKnob/
