My daughter did her science fair project on this.(Army has a VERY thorough report).
With our local Waterworks help she found the Steripen was the only less than effective method she tested. Colony...
I like ponchos for versatile rain protection. It can cover your;
*upperbody and pack
*you
*just your pack
*even make a tarp/shelter and breathes better than a jacket. The Dryducks version is...
Welcome. Read up on the articles and try a section. Once you start to walk you will meet some good people.
Of the 300 miles you are going to hike 100 or so will be within hearing range or sight of the parkways . 20 or so of those will be really close. It is a great section though some of it very remote. ...
The phone at the damn is gone as of March 15th atleast.
But the courtesy phone, on the trail, at the bathrooms right after the road crossing, 1 mile south of the "Fontana Hilton Shelter" is...
For each pound of meat lean beef I use 1/8 cup soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
What makes it a "cure" is the sodium nitrite. The same sodium in bacon, hot dogs, and lower quality deli meats especially ham. It is posible to buy uncured bacon and hot dogs(no nitrites). Since...
When you use a saturated fat like butter the "grease" will stick to your pot and be harder/messier to clean up than a nonsaturated fat like olive oil. Cold spring water just will not wash it out even...
I came through around March 20th as the crowds(each bed was probably almost filled) were just beginning and had a great experience.
Keep in fridge or freezer as long as possible. Careful using "Natural" nut butters(like natural peanut butter) they say refridgerate after opening because they are not shelf stable.
Ziplocks...
I like these http://www.cmi-gear.com/catalog/essentials/icecleat.asp .
3.5 ounces for the pair.
One size adjusts to all.
Good traction on ice.
Good traction in 6" of snow

Old? She is only 45.
As previously suggested; Find the right doctor. While looking get the blood workup and a copy to take with you. Lyme test also. Old shoes can cause problems, I agree...
I do not think the bottom of my Hennessey UL BP asym is water proof or water resistant. Hold it to the light and you can see through it. Would work as a bug bivy. The stock tarp is small would not...
For far more Hammock information check out http://www.hammockforums.net/
The tests the municiple water facilities use take 24 hours in a 98* F incubator to verify how much bacteria and if it is has ecoli by using a black light. Just pump or treat and relax. If you get...
To be safe/prudent site selection is still key. Boats/ships still need bilge pumps. If something that heavy leaks then do not count on a few mil UL fabric being 100% leakproof.
Generally the weather conditions will determine the style of setup for the tarp. With a tent it is always the same. Site selection is even more important. Normally no need for a bivy if you use...
I own the MSR Miniworks and it has never needed more than an easy to do filter scrub. It is field maintainable but seems to need no further maintenance for 2000 miles of use. I bought the an extra...
Just do not stuff the bags super tight and the will mold into the extra spaces on their own as you stuff your pack.
Compession sacks exacerbate this problem by making a rigid cylinder and they...
I have the Primus Micron and it has performed marvelously.
I thought pet stores sell cedar shavings as bedding for pet rodents. All these years the little pets have been tortured by the kids playing with them and "mom" putting fresh bedding in.
Not trying to ruin your story telling.... but,
Bears tend to have a crash, crunch, boom, crash and maybe scatching bark as they climb a tree.
Dainty crunching leaves is everything else.
Go with two larger pots(1.0-1.3L each) and split them up among party. There are many reasons for this including FB failure(leak).
How close is this group? Everynight in same camp? ...
That is called Karma
