A freind and I would like to take a 4+ day backcountry camping trip to GSMNP. However, we have little camping or backcountry trail experience. I am an avid outdoorsmen who hunts and fishes frequently in northern Wisconsin. Therefore, I have a great deal of knowledge about the outdoors and common sense outdoor issues. Also, we both are in excellent shape as we are both NCAA baseball athletes.
I am looking for any advice or tips on trails, loops, or gear. I have read through most of the other forum topics on gear and trails but would like some specific infor on GSMNP. We are just looking to enjoy the views and be at one with mother nature.

Thanks you in advance. Any information is greatly appreciated.

thanks,
