Transients calling themselves hikers seems to be a growing fad.

...and the things I take for granted:-? Merry Christmas.

External works for me! Mine is actually lighter than some of the internals I've tried. I don't mind looking out-of-touch with the marketing zombies.

Mine is ROOMY and helps me win the weight vs....

Now you got me interested in wading through that idea. There seems to be a good chunk of material on the web. Loops are a logistical Godsend when you have to go solo. Thanks for the tip!

I plan to start my first quilt in a month or so. Hope you don't mind if etch your name on the sewing machine for when the time comes to start whining and asking questions.:-?

Assuming we are talking about that aluminum set:
I have bought many fancy-shmansy things to cook with on the trail. Parts of the <$6 mess kit from Wal-Mart seem to keep following me down the trail...

So, after all that work can you post any pictures of your new tarp?

Not to get off topic but the image of breaking a crowbar in a sandbox almost had me on the floor laughing! Is that a common phrase or did you invent it? I love WB.
In light of Hiker Girl's question....

I am still messed up over learning what CHEESING means. Gross:eek:

I wish a knew how to edit that poll. I barely figured out how to post it. Hammock guys are people too.:) (I'm actually considering joining the ranks.)

My apologies, also, to Santa if the poll...

Stick with what you know now. Your head won't hurt as much as mine did when I was considering a Steri Pen.
I've read reports saying that the Steri Pen is useless. Then they go on to show you the...

Let's face it- a four question poll won't stop the controversy. Please, I'm not trying to detract from Santa's thread. That discussion is more important.
You're absolutely correct! I considered a...

As I learn more about this trail, I amazed at how many different organizations come together to make it what it is. I'm sure there may be, the normal, human nature flaws embedded in the dynamics,...

I forgot to select the multiple choice option. A critical error. Can it be fixed? If not just pick the MOST correct answer for you.

Santa started the thread, To Hang or not to hang. My curiosity sparked this poll. It assumes we are discussing the Eastern U.S. and must be based on FIRST-HAND experience and not here-say.

How...

Man! You went from wilderness to HOLLYWOOD? They are at opposite ends of the spectrum! ...and THEN you turned on the TV? What were you thinking? God help you.
(Just joshing around.)
It feels...

I'm undecided on this issue. This is a common topic and discussed many times. Yet advocates just recite what they've heard because it certainly "sounds" like a good idea. Remember how (because of...

I had that same many question years ago. In fact, I went so far as to think that made gear was always sub-standard, or you needed supernatural talents and skills to produce something. Factories...

I think they are over at Sgt. Rocks place:-?

yea, definitely, there is alot of helpful folks around here that have made these. I'll step aside and learn a few things too when somebody answers you.

This is off topic but I was wondering:
Are you having problems with getting support from RAYWAY folks? The reason I ask is because I'm about to order the quilt kit (afraid I might get in the same...
