Hey Skids,
Got a weight on that?
I think the "spray nozzle" cheese can's gross weight is 11 oz.(8oz. net wt.)
That would be great.

Skids,
Never mind. I had a temporary brain fart and didn't open up the link before I replied.
I expanded the pic but couldn't see the cream cheese marking.
Maybe I'm still reeling from that early Heineken Pot April Fools joke. HeHe

A full can of Easy Cheese weighs 10.15 oz - 8 oz. net weight = 2.15 oz. for the can.
Once empty, you make a stove from it and pawn it off on a newb.:D

The lineup of Sassafrass Mtn, Justus Mtn and whatever-the-hell that other peak north of Justus Creek is called caused a lot of serious packweight re-evaluation.

I ain't laughin' too hard. I've made some.
So, where did you get the multi-tool with a hole punch? Or did you go old school and use a bow drill?

That's a bit further North, but i know what you mean.
There's a positively gorgeous stretch of highway that bypasses that climb up to Hogpen Gap, by the way.

Which just this year the GATC has equipped with hot showers, feather beds, free bar, massage therapist, Swedish suana, and a gourmet cook.
Or maybe just a new mouldering privy. One or the other. I forget.

I found it at Kroger's today. IMHO, this is the most significant advancement in trail food since the introduction of the Ramen Noodle pack. My trail breakfast has been revolutionized! I LOVE THE KRAFT FOOD GURUS!

You can say that again! I did an "out an back" hike from Neels to Hogpen and opted for the road walk the second time. I actually refused a ride when someone stopped for me!

I spent a night at that shelter with positevely the oddest human being I have ever met. There is not a description strong enough to explain the amount of paranoia this poor soul lived in. He lasted about 10 mins. after my buddy and I arrived and then said "I can't sleep here with you guys" and packed up and left. I didn't fart or anything.
