Don’t toss it out, that’s wasteful. There’s no reason you can’t donate it to a rescue mission thrift shop. You’re not responsible for how someone uses the bag…they may want it for a summer bag, an...

Forgot to add…apply anti-chafing cream or powder at least twice a day.
It sounds to me that your foot issues are more related to your socks than your shoes. Per your other thread, you’ve found a pair of comfortable shoes but still got a blister and now your feet are...
Apologies… mine are small 2400-3400, and large 4400.
I have the large and medium cubes and really like them for keeping my pack organized but haven’t used them as food bags. While they haven’t been abused, they also haven’t been babied and have held...
I was in Williamsport the other day, checking out the C & O canal trailhead for a future bike packing trip. Do you know if it’s safe to park overnight in the lot with the Cushwa building?
Thanks! I’ll check out the book. I haven't used sourdough on the trail, but often carry my sourdough bread.
It seems to me the most practical application is to use the culture as you would a...

Child abuse in the Twelve Tribes is widely documented. Their doctrine says that “child training” should begin at 6 months of age and “should be painful”. Their teachings even have guidelines for...
And they beat their children. I don’t care how tasty their food…no thanks!
Another thought…starter is easily dried by thinly spreading it on parchment and putting it in the oven with the light on. One can carry the dried starter and feed it & bake when an opportunity...
It wouldn’t be too difficult to carry a tablespoon of sourdough culture and enough flour to feed it. The discard can be eaten and is great for the bowels.
It’s possible to bake bread with only 1...
Are you sure it will work if you’re down in a canyon? Sometimes mine takes a while to send messages.
just a thought
Last week, I hiked in 30* wearing mid-weight tights under hiking pants and my legs were cold. Today, I hiked in 27* so added a pair of pantyhose and my legs stayed warm. Conditions and trails...
I’ve been advised by multiple people to skip this section but may try to do it on my bike. The dogs might be a problem though.
I rarely hike where there are privies…
All you’re doing with TP is smearing the poop and getting it on your hands when you wipe. Water and soap is the best way to clean fecal matter.
But to...
Thanks for the video. I asked myself, Do I really want to spend 33 min of my life watching this? Yep, it was worth it, gave me a smile this morning.
I picked up a few tips like the rolling pants...
Forgot to add, it doesn’t take much water. YMMV but I only use about 4 ounces or less.
I don’t have a “bidet” but use a squirt bottle so same principle.
1) Totally remove your pants.
2) Squat and do your thing
3) While still squatting (Don’t stand up!), squirt yourself with...
$90 + fees.
Yeah, that averages $45+/night to tent camp which is pretty expensive.
I see nothing wrong with charging $5 for a night of backcountry camping but it already costs $30 to enter SNP by vehicle and $15 on foot. Increase the campground fee to $30/night and a family will...
Gotcha…somehow I missed that there are 3 different topics.
And because most people explain things better than I do, you might be interested in this…
“The Bivy Condensation Conundrum”. It’s...
I don’t understand how a bivy is synonymous with “the perfect winter bag”. In my mind, they are completely different. A bivy is a shelter, best used in dry climates/conditions. Why would you carry...
If this is an issue only while hiking and not running or other activities then it doesn't sound like stress incontinence but something else, maybe behavioral? Do you pee when sneezing or coughing? If...
I don’t know much but there’s one thing I know and that’s nothing is perfect. There are too many variables and too many ways for things to go wrong. You do the best you can then adapt when it goes...
