    Totally serious. Don't trample on my delusions.

    As long as you take the axe, you can make your own Jenga if you decide you need it.
    Thank you for the suggestion. Should be safe cutting very small blocks with an axe.

    I just knew I would get handy advise here on whiteblaze! I was going to add ten pounds of Cheddar cheese in case I can't kill dinner. Is this a good idea?

    You'll need to carry a bear canister in that Georgia section. Why not just fill it with some red pickled eggs? Tell the folks at Neels Gap you want a lower bunk when you get there.

    its a great idea, and you can use the cheese to lure in shelter mice(now wheres that ax?), which go very well with red pickled eggs.

    I'd get rid of that MSR cookset and replace it with either a 12" black iron skillet or 6 qt. Dutch oven.
    Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other.

    I don't like pickled eggs. I hope a bear comes. That's food!

    Why not both? I love fried eggs and grits--you'll need them both have both hot at the same time!

    How much does cast iron weigh? I'm trying to go ultralight.

    This is utterly ridiculous!

    What type of enjoyable trek are you going to have without a decent portable grill? And don’t forget good briquettes for awesome seasoned meats.

    I would also suggest a portable DVD player and some of your favorite movies. Sometimes after a long day it’s nice to curl up to a good movie.

    And a few rolls of pennies are good too for the occasional pond wish and such.

    Happy trails!

    seinfelds kramer has a great set of sneaker jump training shoes.a full tank of helium strapped to your back will help.and if you can find flubber, bring it. mail drops are close to non existant on the channel.
    oh yeah, you'll need the "channel guide":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvk2wNWmB20

    I hate to tip you over your weight limit, but I didn't see any ear plugs on your list.

    Oh, there's an idea! Noise cancelling headset from Sony. They have a decent offering for under $150 too! We all know how the sounds of a slow brook, birds, or even the wind can get overly annoying at times. These quality headsets will block all that out!

    Much better to cut down a fresh pine tree. It gives a nice smoky flavor. Charcoal is utterly ridiculous.

    this is the funniest post i have ever read, certainly better than Dilbert...and for goodness sake, Doonesberry was always to high falutin for me...think i will cut and paste this and submit it to Salon.com or the 400 million dollar blog Rupert Murdock bought from Arianna Huffington that keeps popping up in my email, the social media is so desperate to know what toothpaste we prefer...i will be so glad to get on the AT so Facebook and Twitter will quit pestering...

    I hate to admit this, but the Internet is often an addiction. Lots of us have found ourselves logging onto Facebook and white blaze from the comfort of an A.T. Shelter...

    Maybe you'll be smarter than me and keep the smartphone off your packing list.
