I am amazed how much abuse an xlite will stand. I packraft with mine in the bottom of the boat (it fits an alpaca perfectly). I do long, hard days constantly in and out of my boat wearing sandy,...

Well, all y'all can be proud of yourself. After calculating electricity costs for square footage, I broke down and bought myself a 9 tray Excalibur with a timer.
My mom can have a second Nesco :)
I've had a Nesco for about a decade, my mom has had hers for about 5 or 6 years. We both love them and haven't felt like we need to upgrade (in the summer they run nearly continuously when we are in...
I increase my pup's food by about 50% while we are backpacking (but we spend most of the summer out hiking somewhere, so they are really upped for the whole summer). High calorie, grain free food,...
Not every girl pees strait.... More than a few have quite an angle, lol.
The gearskin changes volume to fit every trip.
Leave air in a thermarest. Builds bulk, but not weight.
I live without an indoor toilet in a place that is 40 below zero for weeks, sometimes months, on end. My pstyle is a life saver.
I haven't decided about hiking with it yet, I tend to not carry...
I've had two back surgeries for scoliosis (1-12T fused) and I hike with a "frameless" pack, the Moonbow Gearskin. I find that with any framed pack I wear I have back issues. If you have scoliosis...
I love mine too. I just want to point out there are tons of other options than just the visible Keeper and Diva cups. I have a MeLuna myself, it fits me better (we aren't all the same size).

Rinse with a bit of water from your water bottle (I don't want to stick unfiltered water into me) and replace. As long as you rinse they really keep quite clean. When you no longer need the diva...
Would this be the caveman that Tundra and Pink Panther hiked with for a bit in Georgia/NC?

The compression straps are double stitched to the end of the fabrics.
The different sizes of gearskins have different dimensions. Mine is thinner and shorter than my boyfriends. I'll measure...
I bet you won't miss the rain tomorrow or the cold front comming in afterwords. Best of luck to the two of you when you do feel healthy enough to start your hike. We'll miss you in the meantime.

Hello,
My mother hiked with a SOBO hiker, Rambo Ron, in Vermont in October. He was hiking south extremely slow, had finished about 500 miles in three months. He was planning to continue south...
I started wearing Montrail Hardrocks two years ago and won't look back. Their amazing for me, and I usually pick up a pair or two whenever they go on sale for about $50. I currently have three...
I don't know where most start, but I think its a rather personal thing. I went back and forth for weeks wondering which to do, and finally came to the conclusion to hike the approach trail. That...
I haven't had problems about touching the walls of my Squall tarptent (another buy because of whiteblaze, we must send quite a lot of business your way Shires).
Infact, I've been in pretty hard...
I had a little of the same troubles before my first thru attempt. My parents were extremely concerned about me going alone. Everything was about how dangerous it was to be alone.
So, I brought...
I called REI about dividends recently. I have their credit card, so I recieve a sizable dividend. Since I start my hike March 1st I was hoping to use my dividend before I started hiking.
The...
You caught me in time, but just barely. I actually just finished up doing all the edge sewing and adding the wings to the bottom peice of fabric. I was just sitting down for a quick break before...
I haven't had experience with this specific pack but have used a North Face pack with the same type of suspension system. It felt really great on my body, everything was carried evenly and...
I didn't argue with your point, I infact agreed with it later on in my post. I was simply clarifying how the loft of a bag is measured. My WM Ultralight is listed as having 5" of loft while the...
Actually, a sleeping bag listed as four inches of loft will have two above you and two crushed beneth you. They measure sleeping bag loft as the total loft of an unoccupied bag that is zipped...
I just called up the guy from thru-hiker.com and found out that the Momentum90 fabric should be sewn with the coating on the inside. My mother was the only other person to suggest that, so I just...
Thankyou for all your help. I'm starting to actually sew the quilt today :)
