Tennessee Trails Association

“I was just wondering if any of the Trail Talkers are members of Tennessee Trails Association. If you are please let me know what chapter you are a member of. I am thinking of joining after going to a seminar last night at the Brentwood Library. An AT thru hiker names Spencer Knoch spoke on the topic of Lightweight Backpacking. Very informative.”

“I think that katibug and dodder are members of Tennesse Trails.”

“hey Karo,

i saw spencer knoch's presentation before. i thought he was good, too!!”

“Hey, this is a family website!”

“(heehee)”

“I am a member of TTA also but very rarely go to any of there events or meetings. that may change in the near future though. They had a presentation on ultralight bping that went on for a few weeks that I wanted to go to but I just never got around to it. They tend to stree dayhikes more but there are quite a few who do bp.”

“Thanks everyone, even you bit. We will let you come on up and join. You can even yell ROLL TIDE!”

“Heck, I could have given ya one of those at the Gizzard or Big Creek.

Just ask me next time to show you my gear. I'll be happy to. I don't offer because I don't want people to think I'm pushing ultralight and putting down THEIR style of packing.

I figured you weren't interested.”

“Someone has to keep yam in check...”

“bit--
i'm gonna kick your arse!!!!”

“but in a good way.....har har.”

“I have used your site many times and I think its just great. I have been using the halcon stove that uses 1 soft drink can and all you need to construct it is a knife. it works very well. I have been experimenting with different heights and windscreens and pot supports. I showed them to the crowd last night ans every one was impressed. Here is the link to the halcon site:

“I am.”

“lol, yam...yah I'm looking forward to having my arse kicked "in a good way"...lol...”

“karo - I've seen that. It's pretty close to a reg "pepsi" stove. Works the same. I like the idea of being able to make it with just a knife.

Thanks for the comments on my website. I am way overdue for an update.”

“Hey karo..how in the world are ya??I am a TTA member..Nashville Chapter...Been so busy backpacking though I haven't done much with them lately. :~ )”

“I'm a member of TTA.. the Martin chapter.. but that might change.. now that I work in Nashville..

It's a good organization.. if you like dayhikes.”

“I went to meetings for a little while but I never seemed to "click" with anyone so I quit going.
I prefer the TT crowd. Much more laid back.”

“No doubt, wd. The TTA members seem to be way too serious.”

“They have invited me to a new member hike, a day hike in the boro. I met a couple of them at the seminar the other night. One guy had an old pack that must have weighed over 60 pounds! I tried to lift it with one hand and it wouldn't hardly budge. I can't wait to bp with them. lol”
