    Is the penalty severe enough for overnighting where you maybe shouldn't that it deserves worrying about it? If it's just a very remote chance of a ticket or something and you need a place to sleep...

    Sure. That's one situation where I'd want my goretex salomons, but it's doable. I did it near ashby gap after the 2010 blizzard for an overnight on snowshoes. Though these days I'd be more likely...

    If I ate only when hungry, I'd never stop eating. I have to force myself to stop eating and very carefully monitor quantities, and I'm generally always very hungry.

    You could search Greyhound but I doubt there's a more direct route. There's not a lot of public transit available other than that rail route.

    You could portion them out into Ziplock freezer bags and pour boiling water directly into the bags. This would work, but breaking the seal on the storage packs could lead to spoilage if you don't...

    Ryan and others -

    Be careful with bleach. Not because it's unsafe, but because lots of store brands aren't always honest about what's actually in it.

    You can generally trust unscented clorox,...

    Same here, longer alone the better. As soon as I get back around a lot of people I fall into a slump. I only get lonely without my dog, or when there aren't any insects singing or birds making noise.

    I'd try an alternative if I found one that met my needs, but so far the smaller manufacturers use lighter weight materials that I don't trust. Most have relatively low weight limits, e.g., 150-200...

    It's been said, but I'll say it again. Anything Warbonnet that suits you. You'll appreciate the American quality, especially given that the competition (HH) has farmed manufacturing out to China.
