Thanks, Buckwheat. Your photos are amazing, btw. I just added that to my list of places to hike.

What size did you cut the memory foam down to and how much does it weigh?

Can it go all the way down to the ground and it's just not tightened down in the photo or does it not go all the way to the ground?

That looks great. Looking forward to the reviews.

Wow, great dog, what a cutie! Can't help but I hope you find someone who can.

How do you know which vegetables should be blanched before dehydrating?

Do you do anything to your tofu before dehydrating it?

Np with questions, LaurieAnn, I'd like to figure out what I'm doing wrong!

Most vegetables are cut into bite-sized pieces about an inch across: broccoli, zucchini, carrots, cabbage. Onions and...

I usually put the dehydrated food in a screw-top container with water a few hours before dinner. Then I boil it with whatever else I'm cooking, like noodles.

I use a Nesco dehydrator and save the...

I've had trouble rehydrating foods on the trail. Vegetables come out tough and chewy. Sauces (like spaghetti) end up a mealy mush. Tofu was a complete disaster, it remained rock-hard little cubes...

Try a Packa:

I buy the thickest hiking socks I can find and wear sockliners underneath. One pair of each on my feet and one pair of each in my pack. I hike in trail runners and buy the widest width they come in.

Yeah, I meant water-resistant. I assume that's what the polyurethane coating does on the Golite Odyssey.

I'm replacing my beloved but very worn Golite Gust. I used it on my A.T. thru and sectioned most of CDT and PCT with it. It's perfect but now I'd like something with a little padding. The ULA...

I'm looking for a pack for a three-month spring/summer trip. Found a Jansport pack at a second hand store. I know Jansport is better known for school bookbags than long distance hiking packs. The...

Your knees are too important to guess and self-diagnose. See a podiatrist or physical therapist, find out what's wrong and what you need to do to fix it.

Not a fan of Diva or Keeper. They don't make them in enough sizes for everyone to get a good fit with them. Once when I was trying to insert the Keeper in the "folded" style given in the...

Um... yes they are although I'd say they're smart enough, not stupid enough.

When I was camped south of the Presidentials my tent was ripped open while I was sleeping in it and my pack taken right...

I always carry EVOO in a little screw-top plastic container. It has a million uses: cooking, fire-starting, dry lips/skin/hair, chafing, squeaky gear/shoes...

Is there a road or a trail that'll take me from Weed, CA to the trail?

Try Solumbra.com. I live in the desert and love their clothing - it's not cheap but it's of excellent quality and does the job.

Not specifically on the A.T. but I'm a member of the YMCA at home so in trail towns where there was a YMCA I often went in and did laps in the pool (after showering, of course). The next day back on...

Since I'm not going anywhere for a few months I might as well spend some time on the other "A.T." I have a lot of experience hiking in this area and I've ordered the ATA's guidebook and maps but...

Wow. I have friends who live in Nogales, on the U.S. side, and in Douglas (both AZ).

The fact that anyone's even considering hiking in Mexico within the next couple of years just boggles my mind....
