Cooking and food might not be the right category to post this as I will not cook these.

It might sound silly, but would carrying cayenne pepper or clove in a muslin bag in your food bag be enough...

I am in Canada and I need the tent in a week. I cannot send it, but I'll give TT a shout.
Thanks

As I was setting up my Moment last week, the nylon pullout (the one with the plastic piece through which the guyline goes) rip off on one side of the strut sleeve. On Traptent.com, Henry recommends...

I did a Presidential thru last year during the Labour Day weekend. We had sleet between Jefferson and Lake of the Clouds and temps just above freezing and lots of wind the whole day on the ridge. I...

My father and I hunt squirrels every fall and we usually wait til we get 5-6 before cooking them. I brown the meat and throw it in a beef stew.

Chinook Technical Outdoor Wildfire 20*, close to 3 pounds.
Bought a Western Mountaineering Mitylite 40* last week. I slept in it last night and it was 60*. I slept very confortable, no sweat.

I got my TT Moment delivered by Canada Post (which will be on strike tomorrow) two months ago. I wasn't home and it wouldn't fit in the mailbox down the street. I had to wait til 1pm the next day to...

It is not a spray, but wild thyme works like magic against mosquitos and black flies.

The most important part of my thru planning is all about the last mail drop in Monson. I want to celebrate the end of the journey with a cigar and Scotch. Where is the last place on the trail one can...

Planning a thru-hike in 2012 and already can't wait to be in Gorham, NH to have a nice cold Tuckerman's Pale Ale.

If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes.

My father has made poles out of bamboo ski poles. Cut them the right lenght and glued a tapcon screw in the tip. Works for a while, then the ends split.

For myself, I have a set of Black Diamond...

NoBo
Trail Name: None yet, but I am a Stray Dog in both paddling and cross country skiing
Start Date: March 16
Approach Trail: Why not ? What are 8 extra miles on top of the 2000+ miles of a thru...

The only portion of the AT I have done was the Presidential Range. Once you reach the talus, hiking poles are pretty useless. You're better off using your hands to go up. My poles remained strapped...

I took the decision last week to start my thru-hike in 2012, which gives me a little less than 365 days to prepare for what should be the trip of my life. I will be 26 at the trailhead and turning...
