The rentals will probably be the ol' Garcias or the Berikade.

But it seems you did. You assumed that you would have service and that assumption substituted for proper planning, communication and decision making, before your party separated. Your group, armed...
I went by Walmart last night and the Farberware side cutter doesn't work on the Fosters can. Perhaps it was the wrong cutter...?
I suppose it would depend on the construction/shape of the kettle. For trips with the GF (ie: non-solo) I take the REI Ti Kettle (like the Titan kettle, it doesn't have a separate pour spout), which...

They changed the can for us here in the US, so the only ones you'll find are old stock or people holding on to them.
I was at BevMo today and they had the typical wide 24oz Fosters, but the only...
A side-cutting safety can opener may give you a really nice edge on the Sap' can. It's what folks use to cut the tops off Hen/Fosters cans; of course, don't open the can, first.
Was it Zelph or...
As folks like to hear both new ideas and support for already-said ideas:
+1 on the 'Nalgene washer' - it works well. Dump and rinse away from sources and rinse out the Nalgene well, of course!

I--that former group--would rather not see cell phone use on the trails because, as suggested, it can perpetuate the security blanket issue. With all respect, your situation is an appropriate example...
A few thoughts...
The business of America is business - if it's not cost effective and profitable it's not going to happen. Especially in a small town.
Money is tight all around, for the little guy...
So, if one does the AT within a year's time, even in sections (ie breaks, for whatever reason), it's considered a Thru Hike?
I always thought this is what differentiated 'Section' and 'Thru' hiker...
Yes, Hike500. The word elsewhere online is that the offer is now expired.
Regarding BPA and the supposed(?) risks, this is an interesting read: http://www.bisphenol-a.org/human/polyplastics.html
There is also a link there to their study of BPA and can liners (ie F/H keg...
Good point. Yes - for the colder weather while in a quilt, a beanie or balaclava is something you probably don't want to leave behind (especially if you shave your head or have little hair!).
Keep an eye on this. There was a similar deal going around last year and many folks didn't get their mags for several months after they should have. I believe they tried to point a finger at the...
I love my Golite 20* quilt. In 3-season weather, I use it, a short Prolite Plus and a Jam2 under my feet - comfy, warm, light. I'll swap the Prolite for a DM Exped 9 for the colder times.
As...
I watch them all, but:
Les is supposedly coming back. Thank goodness.
Dual Survival is entertaining and informative.
Man vs. Wild is mildly entertaining and for the most part--if we are...
That's a good link, above.
For my FBC cozie, I used "Thinsulbright" from the craft store (it's a fleeced mylar, if you will) along with a bit of rip-stop nylon in my color choice (as a "shell" for...
I'm fairly confident that "DIY" probably suggests that "it" is probably made where 'you' do (read make) it yourself.
Thanks, PaperCrane. I've seen a number of this guy's videos and he does some...
+1 to fixing things at home, first. That may mean you need to be the supportive husband you should be (your wife's grad school will benefit you both; doing the trail, now, will more-than-likely not)...
Hey JohKnip, if you liked that, you might appreciate Zen Stoves (a standard for stove information): http://zenstoves.net/Stoves.htm
DY - although the insulation may get pretty hot, it should act...
I'll second the cautions Snowleopard brings up above.
My biggest aim would be to keep any "new" nasties from getting into the chicken (ie: cross contamination coming from you; wash your hands...
I don't quite get where your blisters are on your thumbs, but either way, there's something wrong. If it's the straps rubbing, there's obviously way to much pressure and rubbing. I don't use my...
If you're sharing a box with others, it'd be courteous to keep your things organized, of course. Other than that, just put everything in the box at night or when you're away from...
Right. Don't forget about the other little things that we have lost the smell for - sunscreen, sanitizer, etc; trash, too.
