I have used dried hash brown potatoes with dried onion and an envelope of corned beef. It made a huge meal for two but we sucked it down in a heartbeat. With pita bread and envelopes of ketchup....
Logan bread keeps and travels better but brown bread is mighty tasty.
Here is a concept: take it out of the can.
I used to use only white gas stoves with slow simmering, but I can no longer find the time for much more than overnights. I am about to try a propane stove as it promises to cut my load dramatically....
Personally, I cannot grasp the reasoning. I have not seen the thread before, therefore it is new to me. Those who have grown weary of a discussion of, say, spaghetti sauce can simply not read it,...
This is an excellent idea and perhaps superior to simply drying bottled sauce as I have done. I guarantee, I will try it this winter. I would do it sooner but I have no more than a month of walking...
The texture in my product is like fruit leather. I have been told that it is best to use a sauce that has little or no oil and little or no cheese (do not add cheese, carry it separately). The batch...
You used to be able to get coffee bags from makers like Folgers. I tried them and they were thin and insipid. Apparently they were mostly instant cofffee with some ground coffee to improve the...
I gave up on the Sierra Stove. I am going with a canister.
Solar chargers: I am informed are worthless in the northeast where canopy/tree cover is common and so is cloud cover. Reliable and...
I wonder if I could use small squares of white muslin to make coffee bags? I could tie them shut with cotton string or the mentioned staples. It would be simpler and lighter than using my cup...

I have a pair of water shoes that look like sneakers, they cover the whole foot and have laces but have a thin non slip sole, very light. If I used camp shoes, they might be a candidate.
I gave up camp shoes when I gave up mountaineering boots. Lightweight trail shoes or off road runners obviate the need for footwear to let your feet recover. Bare feet are risky, one slip, one sharp...
Until you trip over a root and need to get off the trail for those stitches.
But that Peak I still has a big capacity when compared to my old 8R which had like an 8 ounce fuel tank.
I have obtained and tried (in town) a Chinese wood/alcohol stove. It works very well indeed and is well constructed of stainless, with carefully rolled edges and great engineering, but... This is a...
I own in my collection the GI version of a Svea 123, I think it is called something like GS ! and has the advantage of burning automotive fuel if necessary. It is, however a bit heavier.
And no coffee, no tea, no hot chocolate no hot soup at a day's end.
Well, I made a really tough model of a wood burner using a stainless steel Thermos bottle for material, but no matter how cunning I was in engineering, it is still too heavy. There are Chinese...
Yes, this is exactly my point when I wrote: "
"The GMC map is a buy. Rugged and reliable in the details, however if you do not know an area I would suggest supplementing with something that...
Well, this is exactly what I have been wondering about. I really like the idea behind wood stoves. My battery powered ZZip/Sierra is not terribly light however and I do not currently use a commercial...
The only issue is the distance some towns and villages are from the trail. Manchester Center stores are at least 3 miles from the trail, more for the real business district. The Dorset store involves...
Well, I live .25 mile from the LT and frankly I do not like this. The LT is part of the AT.
Following this logic, how about removing other parts of the trail as well?
I believe there are sections...
Try the Glastonbury Loop, east of Bennington. The main entry point has a very steep climb over difficult and rocky terrain for maybe three hours, but there is access from a side road that avoids the...
These links bring me to the homepage of White Blaze. What am I doing wrong?
Ah...I see you know the region! I fear I will be occupied with work, alas.
