If you keep an eye on REI clearance occasional replacement parts like this come up super cheap. I once was able to replace my Aether 60 shoulder straps for I think it was $1. They had been marked...

So this site has a user agreement, and one of the rules is this
Discussing actions that would involve legally closed areas breaks this rule. Now we aren't going to rehash moderation decisions in...
Maybe but can't make any firm plans to attend. There's some titanium I'll need to get before then.
Your body can only absorb about one liter per hour. That's about the maximum when it's hot and humid and less than that amount otherwise. Most of it is absorbed by the small intestine. If you...
I had a Fitbit Charge 4(?) as my last one. It was still working but there was some problem where it was faded out. If I jumped through some hoops, it could be reset and the brightness returned but...
I've always liked coupling my fitness data with geographical data. I know this can be done by pairing some fitness devices with a phone. However, as a backpacker, it concerns me to be running that...
One feature that is always helpful in monitoring devices is the sbility to export the data easily to whatever application you intend to analyze and store the data. Often devices come with propriety...
Years ago I had a chest strap heart rate monitor that coupled with a wrist unit GPS. I used that more often in trail runs but did take it hiking too. I had a Microsoft band and then a couple of...
The AT crosses RT 77 in Bland, not I81. Crossing under also works BTW for "goes under".
Spring and fall I like to use convertible mitts, midweight fleece, windblocker if available. As long as it is not too cold that my hands freeze when wet, that is sufficient. They'll dry fast in...
In the warmest weather on the AT I have something similar to what you have as your base pants and 1/4" zip Merino shirt plus a puffy vest. Shirt and pants are lightweight fleece. I would have a...
The P51 is a little bigger. Can you work the one on a swiss army knife? That's what I learned on. Half of the effort is patience. Then not burying the cutter into the can while keeping on your...
I saw the last one in TN, it was short but spectacular! Going again hoping it's not cloudy. Leaving early and camping (campground). The traffic was unreal last time. I don't recommend trying to...
Gym shorts are another option I have used a pair of those before and a lot of my hiking shirts are gym attire. Also cheap and off the clearance rack if I can find them there!
P38 works fine if you want to bring one. I have one that I used to stash in my med kit. I'm not sure if I still keep it there. However, many canned goods come with pull tabs now. Alternatively,...
Shorts without briefs is really what is meant there. Just don't mansplay even if you've got the room.
Some of my hiking shorts have been $5 clearance rack swim trunks from Walmart with the mesh...
Heard one singing a time or two:p.
Yes, no, and maybe. Yes food is just sitting there for the duration in the pack. I see that is in the title but I wouldn't see a need for food insulation constantly. A cozy is very beneficial for...
Spending $40 on a pair of boxers that need to have a drawstring sewn into them doesn't make much sense. Maybe a three pack for $40 but I still wouldn't bother if I had to sew them because they are...
We're not going to run threads or keep posts up regarding this guy. He is no longer a member here.
While it is not exactly clear that it is official policy, please do not continue to suggest ways to "get around it" that are really just breaking the rules. Of course you can camp outside the...
If you can edit the first post you should be able to edit the title. I've never had a user report otherwise that I can recall. Over time, I think sometimes where the thread title box was located...
Ok thanks for answering. So I've used a flat tarp pretty extensively in various combinations plus I often light fires. If it's raining out lightly or the wood is wet I can keep the fire going. The...
I use a tarp but I wouldn't recommend doing what you are suggesting. Just carry a stove, there are various light weight options out there to pick from. With a stove, I'd suggest being super careful...
If one is careful as you mentioned to keep the water bottle ziplocked this works too. I personally keep a jacket or vest handy at the top of my pack for breaks. A drawback might be a person's...
