Thank you all for the wonderful help so far! Off the top of my head I remembered 2007, with Hyperlite Mountain Gear and then soon after MLD coming in with shelters. I completely overlooked ZPacks, I...

You need to have an account. You can sign up with just your email if you prefer; that is what I did. It is 10% off the quilt.

If this does not belong here, please delete...It is rare to get a discount on cottage-industry goods, and Enlightened Equipment is definitely one that sticks to firm pricing. I just got notified of...

I am 5'10" 150lbs and managed not to lose too much when I hiked. I figured a few things out that helped. One, take a multi-vitamin. If you are up for it, take glucosamine too. Two, get...

A "power hour" is a shot of beer a minute, for an hour. It is tough for most, but obtainable. When I was in college, after successfully beating an hour on several occasions we stepped it up; once...

I don't know Rusty, and didn't stop there in 2005. However, I think he would have a better turnout if hikers weren't constantly guessing if he is open or closed. He's closed shop so many times that...

The one I refered to was available on www.tigerdirect.com, which could also be had through www.amazon.com. I don't know if it will pan in and out, but it does hve 2D/3D options. I'm not sure how...

That's a good option, as is the step down from it, the Roadmate 2200T. It can be had (refurbished) for $250, which is a great price for everything you get out of it.

Miss Janet, I would need to know more about the situation, especially the price of the land. I have a decent chunk of change laying around that I could possibly "invest" in you for a bit of time. ...

That place was amazing when we stayed there in '05. They have a bunk house, which is very nice, but it was full. I think it was $15 to stay the night there. The wonderful lady that runs the place...

Hmm, I can't edit, so sorry for the seperated posts; I forgot to mention this:

The rice Lipton packets are a bit easier to hydrate, and typically what we ate. There are tons of great flavors, and...

Lipton packets provide a lot more variety than just "mac-n-cheese" so they may be a good option for future mail drops. That's all we ate for dinner on our thru, and I still like the taste of them to...

Awesome, I did this yesterday and it worked quite well. 1.2oz for a pot with lid, less than an hour to make, only a few dollars and I had an evening snack out of it! Thanks for the great idea.

A pair of mini-gators weighs 3oz. That's what I wore on my thru-hike. This talk about lugging them around is a bit silly to me, as most folks are carrying more excess weight than that in other...

A lot of good information has already provide, which I can add little to. However, should you desire to part with your Lunar Solo, please feel free to email or PM me, as I would be interested in it....

You're an engineer as well? That's pretty cool. Shoot me a PM or email, I'd love to hear the perspective of an individual that is on the opposite end of an engineering career from me!
