Thanks and I appreciate all the details as Good Feet reviews alone didn't sound promising.

Can you elaborate on "GET" insoles by providing full name or link? I tried a google search and can't seem to find them. Thanks!

Re: "it's what people do now". What happened to pride? Seems it is no longer seem as a redeeming quality.

I agree with what you said in your OP: "This is is something i decided to do so I should pay for it. "

You can really save weight by skipping the underwear and TP....

Great accomplishment, Congratulations!

Beautiful weather today in Shenandoah (Dark Hollow Falls) near the AT ...sunny weather after an overnight freeze. Winter can be a great time to hit the trail as there were few people out, and the...

Santa ordered a Burrow 20 degree top quilt and a Titanium pot. Hope he doesn't skip my house this year :)
