I was wondering, do you need to wash your hands after handling an Esbit tab?
Also wondering, what is the shelf life of Esbit tabs still sealed in wrapper?
Thank you,
Dave

Okay, I'm definitely getting some fleece. Thanks!
I think I might add a lightweight fleece jacket or vest. Carrying a fairly warm bag. Thank you!
I have mixed feelings. I know that most of the time it will be hot, but I have been on some 4000 footers in the summer and it can be on the chilly side and if it's wet, even worse. I think I'll...
Thinking of doing AT from Salisbury CT to just before Moosilauke in NH in July. Wardrobe is as follows, 2pr socks, 2 pr undies, 2 T's, 2 shorts, poly pro long underwear top and bottom, poncho, wool...
I might bring a few sardine cans as well.
Hmm, stoveless doesn't sound so bad! I will look for all of these as well as dried fruit. Thank you.

Thinking about taking a pepperoni stick, maybe kielbasa, saltines, pita bread, fruit cans for starters and welcome any ideas.

I think that 3-month supplies of medications as opposed to the usual 1-month are available now. When I thru-hike I plan to use small ziploc bags to keep pills in. The problem with taking meds in...
If you don't mind spending a lot of money.:(
Serial, thanks for the advice. I might try that on a trial run. Zdank, I find I have to coil it to the right diameter to begin with.
Mile Post Castle Ruins looks like it could have been made not that long ago. Hats off to the nice work of the stone masons.
I like the fact that there's no town on top of Lafayette like Washington. You can still see the remains of a summit hut though.
For a 2,000 year-old wall it doesn't look bad. Is that a mile castle at the top of the hill?
Wow! Information fest. Thank you! I'm using a Granite Gear Virga with foam sleeping pad coiled on inside. Pack weight should be no more than 20 lb.
What's the best way to pack a frameless ruck? Majority of the weight high or low?
I have a book of color photographs of Roman reenactors. It is said that Roman legionaries did their deadliest work with pick and spade as opposed to the sword. I like to watch the jets. I enjoy...
I reside in Rumney but I'm a New York transplant. I will definitely never be a native so PLEASE cut me a little slack:o
To all who posted above: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!:sun
I believe I saw on TV that there is a footpath along Hadrian's Wall in Britain which runs from the West and East coasts of Northern England. Hadrian's Wall was like a mini great wall of China that...
On my 1990 section hike I stayed at the Kangamagus Motor Lodge in Lincoln. Reasonable rates and you can get steam bath units in the bathtub. I hiked in May, and it was cold, and the steam bath was...
But keep in mind that even in warmer months it can get cold at elevation, so a stove with at least a little fuel might be wise at all times.
On my next section hike I'm going to try stove-less meals, but bring along an Esbit stove with some tabs to make hot drinks if any nights are cold. I agree with BigCranky; stoveless in warmer...
If it's a hot day you could take a diversion by going to the Whale's Tale water park, on rt. 3, north of Lincoln, and south of The Flume. Lincoln has a few backpacking stores on the main street. I...
Could it be there are more black bear attacks because more people live in, or enter black bear territory in a given year than brown?
Here's the Wikpedia stats on bear attacks in North America:
