Whoops, skidsteer, not Sgt. Rock.
Shout out to good old Sgt. Rock, who introduced us all to my handy little knife several years ago. 1oz, and a real 4 inch blade that stays sharp.
Good sir, you had my curiosity, now you have my attention.
How exactly do you do cook and dehydrate risotto?
These are my favorites from the grocery aisle, mostly full of sodium, but delicious:
Stuffing mix, foil pack chicken and dried cranberries, maybe some packet gravy.
CousCous, raisins, dried milk,...
For just weekend backpacking with a partner and canoe or car camping, I recommend the alps mountaineering zephyr 3. #5.5, plenty big, totally dry, and mine has given me exceptional service for about...
Old video, but still my favorite tarp setup for sleeping. There are lots of different setups for different conditions and uses, that's part of the fun of tarping.
I have both a polyurethane...
Your kit would make Johnny Cash proud. You are the man in black! As far as lightening up goes, go with what you're comfortable with, but try a summer trip with a lot less stuff and you might get...
It's the name I've heard attributed to the boulder at the top of panther creek falls, offering a long vista to the west.
Not a female, but suffered from the same fear when I started, fueled by family and friends that thought sleeping alone in the woods was an indicator of mental illness or a lack of a sense of self...
Only the smallest canisters will fit in the tall/narrow set that comes with two cups, you'll have to ditch the cups. Along with a brs-3000 stove, it's a functional and cheap, but not especially...
I prefer the ridge trails in the cohutta, especially with as much water as we've had. Panther creek falls and sunset rock are not to be missed!
Agreed on the cutting tools, all I cut are rope and meat. Wood gets broken for the fire. You've got a pretty standard "non-lightweight" kit. I'd say just throw it in your bag and go hiking, you'll...
No rain fly that goes to the ground = no deal. I've used and gifted several cheapo tents that have worked fine, including one of that design+a full rainfly to the ground. Some that pop up at the...
Nordstrom has some hiking shoes and a different size shoe policy.

MARTA: First train 4:55 a.m. on weekdays and 5:50 a.m. on weekends and holidays.
Caught the redeye from vegas one time, expecting to be able to grab the train. Not a good decision.
My anecdotal experience is that when I put the foam on top of the mattress, I sleep warmer. My theory is that as a side sleeper, often large areas of my air mattress are exposed to the air,...
Going waaaay back for the linked thread, I still use Skidsteer's Coffee Maker for the Trail. One of the best pieces of kit I've ever had.

It is likely that your phone is capable of OTA FM radio, but your carrier wouldn't make any money off it, so it is disabled.
C9 now has a wool blend, I was looking at them yesterday 88% poly, 12% wool, 16 bucks after 20% off. For some reason only the women's is listed online.
One last thing, DO NOT buy the eton/grundig mini m-400. It won't hold on to a station and you will want to throw it off a cliff, but you won't because that would leave a trace.
The undisputed king of the backpacking radios.
Smaller, lighter, no speaker, no weather is the DT-200
A good thread on this is on BPL
I'm enjoy shortwave, so I carry a tecsun PL-505.
This new...
Why not get him a bigger pack and give him the underquilts? They're not heavy, but bulky, it would be a lot cheaper, he'll need a bigger pack soon anyway.
28 has a great place to park right next to the river at the bridge on the SC side. I've only ever gone south from there. Going south is easy to moderate, lots of old road that is now trail. A few...
My favorite Alps tent is the zephyr, it's almost light enough for hiking. The others are great for canoe or car camping. I have 3, a zephyr for car/canoe camping with my son, a Taurus 5 for family...
i unroll my ccf on the inside of my jam then pack everything inside that tube lined with a trash compactor liner.
