The svea stove is reliable and terrific in cold weather.My advice is to bring the pump,saves a lot of time and ag. On the other hand the svea is heavy,hard to refill,and dealing with gasoline has...
People in Hawaii eat 26 times more spam than any other state,yet they have the longest life expectency in the nation.
Crutch, Are you still with us?
Eggs and potatoes for breakfast. However you carry the eggs make sure you put them in a ziplock bag just in case. Eggs will be ok for a couple weeks. Small white taters work best for me. Just cut...
Thanks for the link. I always wondered how to do the PCT method. Like you said,it looks easier. I'm gonna go try it now. Although I'll miss that after dinner sport of hanging my food bag.
Just go with a tarp. Lay down your pack under your tarp,set up tarp,then spread out your groundsheet,and your set. Tarp setup will not have condensation problem,and hence a drier slleeping area.

Was in Vermont on the southern terminus of the Long Trail. The AT was extremely muddy(4 out of every 5 miles was choked with mud). Stayed at Seth Warner 7/27 and it was like the rain was being thrown...
I missed him before he started on April 11th NOBO. I have a chance to hike some of the trail with him,but don't know where he is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS
I used the Titan also. It's good for solo hiking. Once in awhile it was too small for some of the Lipton noodles and mac and cheese mixes. You just had to be careful not to overflow when stirring. I...
In the 70's it was the cheapest beer we could find. Five dollars for 24 - 16 oz. returnables. Whoever did the marketing on that beer was a genius. The entire east coast from Georgia to New Jersey is...
The Smokies are beautiful. It's a love/hate thing. It poured everyday(it's a rainforest) and the shelters were full every night. Met the nicest people,saw 7 bears and a bobcat the 1st day out of...

I've got the same story. My 05' hike I got caught with just a fleece liner on Mt Rogers in June. Bought a silk liner to go with it in Harpers Ferry on Labor day and froze again in Maryland. I...

If I got to a shelter before anyone was there,I'd light my Zip Stove in the shelter,and smoke out the bugs and mice so bad,they'd split for the night.
Anybody ever heard of a Wonder Bar? It's stainless steel and weighs an ounce and a half,and is the size of a half used bar of Dove soap. When rubbed against the body in cold water(the colder the...
Capt,
Just take out the days ration of food and put it so you can get at it easy.The heavier the pack the tighter you need the shoulder straps.

Egg drop soup sounds great. You just stir in an egg?
