    Can't believe he forgot the ice chest to keep the cheese from spoiling.

    Priceless and enjoyable
    If you can’t fix it with duct tape or a beer; it ain’t worth fixing

    Does gubmint cheese last longer? I figure it requires forms filled out in triplicate before it's allowed to spoil.

    I read somewhere that a New portable Micro Wave Oven is now available for Thru Hikers, you simply plug it into a Current Bush. The only thing I would recommend is to hike in Star Wars Sleepers complete with feet, that way you won’t need a sleeping bag or the need to change before you turn in and you’ll be ready to hike your 40 miles a days as soon as you get up.....

    Does it have to be Star Wars or will any footed jammies work? I have some with dinosaurs.

    I was thinking of getting this:

    http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/bb2e/?srp=1

    I'm not sure of its rating, and I dont know if i'll also need a sleeping pad.

    Nonsense! Nothing a little Scotchgard and duct tape won't fix.

    I’m pretty good at staying found, so no maps for me, besides there are blazes to follow.

    I’ve made an itinerary around shelter distances. I understand that shelters are full of mice but I’ll probably spend most nights in one, 
    Bring a compass with a mirror on the back...so you can look at it and see who is lost!

    Watch this movie and learn how to put those shelter mice to good use as a food source:

    Very funny and good use of old post. I think I will follow your lead, maybe even bring up my children and grand children to do the same. It's like trail welfare.

    Bloody hell. How did I miss THAT post from 2011/2012 before my first attempt ?!? Surely, by taking all that advice I would have made it instead of spraining/cracking my ankle. (I know, I know, don't call you "Shirley".)

    Now I get to sift through all the posts and try to relate them to my 2016 attempt. I'm still not taking a frying pan. That Rambo knife, now.................

    I was going to respond with real advice until I read this:

    "And, I absolutely won’t part with my frying pan, camp chair, 6 pr of socks, 2 pr long pants (incl blue jeans), machete, 3 books,etc . . ."

    Be sure to bring a pressure cooker for cooking at altitude.
    And bring a boom box so you can share your music with everyone else.
    And bring your tuba.
