Would it be stupid to use a strong trash bag as a bag to hang my food with? Or should I just suck it up and cash out on a zpacks food bag?

Okay so I'm intrigued by DIY synthetic quilts, and was wonder if any of you guys have made one, and to what temperature yours is comfortable/ safe to, and if I would be able to use one on the Pct?...

I thought about southbound, decided against it

Would May 19th be too late of a start date for the pct? The permits filled up quick and that's the earliest one available, I know with this high snow pack it could work

So I'm planning a thru hike of the pct, I'm going to be leaving early to mid may and wanted a waterproof pack for the wicked river crossings that I'm anticipating, which one would keep the water out...

I am self titled puddle sleeper as waking up in puddles is a reoccurring theme in my life

My base weight is like 15 pounds, so not bad at all

Would a zpacks arc blast be big enough for a thru hike? I have a tiny external I got for $12 dollars at a thrift store and I love it and really can't decide if getting a new pack would be fixing what...

Would getting to Kennedy meadows in late June make the snow more manageable? And if I got to KM say around June 20-25 would I be alone because all the other hikers would have got there much earlier?...

I'm Sam and I'm terrified of this snowpocalypse, was going to start April 15, then May 1, now I'm debating May 15, I'll be able to save up more money anyways

Well in that case I'll heavily consider an internal, but I want to try them on before I buy one, does reí carry ul packs? And also my pack is a really small external, idk if that makes a difference

Have you ever actually backpacked with an external?

Yea but that worries me that you care that there's no warranty, a good piece of gear shouldn't really need one, I will be destroyed long before my external frame haha

So far all I have is guthooks app, haven't got around to printing out maps

I'll reall consider getting that pack, 100 isn't bad. And my bag is definítly a 0 it says it on there, and I've been warm to pretty low temps in it so I think I'll be fine with it

Yea I'm ditching the jetboil, the zpacks arc blast looks intriguing to me. And I've used my camel back on every backing trip since sophomore year and I have yet to get my stuff wet (probably due to...

Thank you for all the links wow! I'll check them out after work thank you

They definitely are, my grandmother was born in Iran don't worry I wasn't trying to be offensive just the image I was trying to paint involved using the taliban as an example.

Thank you for the positive reply man. Yea I've used my charger and it works but haven't hung it on my pack yet, I have a tiny external so the top of it is completely flat, I'm sure I could figure...

When did the world become anti external frame? It's one thing to not use them but people always talk ill of them, but why?

Well if you did it I'll try it, I'll ditch my stove and see how i feel, that's how I started backpacking anyways, peanut butter sandwiches and almonds.

I'll definitely watch out for sales, because...

I got the thermarest foam pad that accordions out, it's kept me warm so far

I'll consider that. The reí bag definitely weighs 3 pounds and I definitely wouldn't want to be in 0 degree weather with it. As far as the pack goes, you know how if you load a pack wrong it pulls...

I have the mini and used it for years and now I have the squeeze and I'm never going back 😂

You're right I'll have more chances, it'll just be my last chance for a few years and I want to do things now. I actually a the chrome dome umbrella the bandana thing is for warmth, I'm debating...
