Does this forum have a "Block" function? Because this is the kind of thing that deserves being blocked.

You know, back when I was in university, even in high school, if you didn't believe in Science, it was just called "failing".

I always carry a cheap pair of leather gloves when I'm in the woods, just for hand protection. I buy the cheapest non-suede work gloves at the store (usually pigskin), and treat them with jojoba oil...

Actual ingredients list and Nutrition Facts of the Gatorade orange powder I recently purchased.

Ingredients: Sugar, Dextrose, Citric Acid, Salt, Sodium Citrate, Monopotassium Phosphate,...

This. A thousand times, This. I will not cook in a plastic bag, period. Freezer bags are not designed to be heated. If you want to eat the plasticizers that leach out of them, that's your business. I...

I have, of course, used my MSR RapidFire backpacking canister stove indoors when necessary, but I take proper precautions. I would never recommend that to anyone else, but I put an aluminium baking...

I would recommend a tabletop butane canister stove, such as the Iwatani 35FW. These types of stoves are in common use in homes all over the world, particularly in Asian countries, where there is a...

My little alcohol stove:

I've had an MSR PocketRocket ever since they first came out, which I later supplemented with an MSR RapidFire.

A little over 10 years ago, I got the idea into my head of switching to an alcohol...

From about DC on South, you can buy packets of sliced country ham. They won't tell you this on the package, and it's sold in the refrigerated meat cases, but there's so much salt in it that it won't...

The problem with packing a first aid kit is that the second you start doing so, your brain starting thinking about all the horrible but extremely unlikely things that could happen, but probably...

Sam's does stock the tiny canisters, though. I don't think WalMart does. Mountain Goat and Base Camp should have them.

I haven't been over to Bennington since before the pandemic, and now I have no car, so I can only reiterate the WalMart in Bennington and The Mountain Goat in Manchester Center. And when you get to...

I actually use Nido or Klim at home, because if I buy fresh milk, it inevitably goes bad before I remember to use it, unless I'm buying it specifically for a recipe where I'm using it up immediately....

I try to keep lunch a non-cooked meal. I make up individual baggies with different varieties of single-serve snack items. I love Nature's Bakery fig bars in various flavors, meat bars or sticks, nut...

I think that making sure you get enough fat in your diet is pretty crucial to good health, especially on the trail, because our society is so improperly fearful of fats, and because fats can be a bit...

Yes, sourdough is an excellent thing on the trail. You can use a 1 L container with a screw-top lid. My favorite pancakes are really just sourdough starter poured into a pan and cooked. If you add...

If you want to make your own rehydration drink, Morton Lite Salt is sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium silicate, magnesium carbonate, dextrose, and potassium iodide. If you use that in...

You can still buy Gatorade powder in canisters, and portion it out into individual baggies. I actually prefer Pocari Sweat, from Japan, but it's much more expensive to buy, even if you buy the 10 L...

One of my favorite things to make is what I call, "Instant Thanksgiving". It's essentially stuffing mix with a packet of chicken, a packet of chicken or turkey gravy mix, a couple of 100 calorie...

Like any food, if you eat it too often, or if you come to associate it with privation, you can easily come to loathe it. I like Spam, now and again. Definitely as spam musubi, although that's not...
