Use your pot. It takes zero pack space! And use your mosquito head net as a pre filter. Zero pack space again! Your welcome :)

Not a bad idea, Jayne. Even better if you use a cheap pad and then just drop it in a hiker box instead of hassling with shipping it back.

They even have quilts for those that like the feel of a bag. Such as the Enlightened Equipment Convertible. Or you could get a extra wide quilt and that will give you a lot of insurance against...

They work just as well as bags and are easier to vent and to get in and out of. Some designs use a draft collar and/or elastic cord on the sides to keep drafts out such as the Warbonnet Diamondback...

I think I would like to go and climb some mountains there. A thousand miles of flatland sounds a bit too monotonous to me.

Yeah, I forgot to look out for the answer to that, but I think I remember him saying he had about 6 liters of fuel and ate one hot freeze dried meal every day.

Backup handheld stove:
Seems like it would be better to just carry a backup stove.

Firestarter:
I suppose...

I still don’t get it. What is the hack?

Don’t be silly now. A hatchet will fit inside your pack much easier. [emoji6]

I don’t think you need to worry about having the perfect amount of, and type of gear on a thru hike that has so many resupply points and trash cans. If someone is carrying something heavy or bulky...

Are you hesitant about the net because of the cost or weight? Or is it more of a comfort concern?

I forgot to mention two things:

A partial underquilt is a great option that works well for warmer weather. It just covers your torso and if need be you just use your sit pad under your feet or...

You will get a warm welcome and lots of advice there.

My next best advice is to read the EXCELLENT book “The Ultimate Hang...

Now you’re just yanking our chain! No one would ever consider doing something so foolish! After seeing this guy though, I suppose it could be done if they picked the perfect window of...

We found this weather forecast source to be impressively on point. Just be sure to screenshot the forecast before you lose your mobile data connection....

BTW, here’s a few pointers that may help. It may be common knowledge, but in case not…

The blowdown on Franconia Ridge from the Liberty Springs junction to Little Haystack is...

The White Mountains are certainly the most challenging terrain I have yet to come across! I learned a lot for sure. The value of staying dry and the power of wind are two great examples. It was...

We went straight up Liberty Spring trail and WOW that was a steady climb! It was a lot of fun getting to break trail seeing the fresh powder in front of you. Which was the case on Franconia Ridge...

Lonesome lake was awesome! Our next goal is to do Franconia Ridge.

This is what I call a “panelfie”. I like to think I invented it lol....

If only there were some way to fix stupid once and for all…

Wow, shots fired! lol [emoji38] Funny video!
