Just curious, How do you keep candy bars from melting in the summer while in your pack?

You could always carry a small swiss army knife with a nail file and scissors to maintain your nails on the trail. Before you leave I definitely would trim my nails very short before a long trip.

I did away from cotton clothes and leaned more to a polyester or merino wool blend. The wool is more expensive but a better bang for the buck if you want to wear it a couple of days without it...

Sometimes cramping is from dehydration. You can always try wearing compression socks which may improve circulation and reduce the cramping as well.

If its cold, a late hike, and looks like its going to rain, wear rain pants. If its going to be hot and early on then leave the rain pants at home. Also a good suggestion are convertible pants that...

I think I will try Dr. Brommers miracle soap, but why not just carry Tom's tooth paste since its all natural. It's all on you if you like to use toothpaste use it if its only for a short time without...

Just get yourself a pair of trail runners and if you want some more cover for your ankles they make gaitergirls which is a nylon mesh that covers abit of your legs.
