    This part of the AT is always been a little scary to me as it’s above tree line I’ve never been farther North than Massachusetts where Shays Rebellion occurred.

    Stinkeist?

    I agree, if you PURPOSELY stay in shelters, hostels and regularly try to get rides then you need to take a shower once every couple of weeks and wash your clothes. It’s common courtesy. I met a guy...

    He just began Oregon the other day w/Little B. Skipped the Sierras because of the snowpack. Seems he and Little B are hitting- it- off great [emoji3590] . I think she’s pushing him gently to keep up...

    A better Ramen

    That’s the one I like, Sapporo. I mistakenly said Nissin earlier [emoji20] I’ve tried a lot of them over the years and I used to live in Japan in the late 80’s

    A better Ramen

    I like the nissin brand & they are one of the less expensive brands. My main concern is the sodium content as some brands really overdo it. The portion is a little smaller but it’s made in Japan and...

    Rain gear

    Thank you. I’m going to look into this because it’s the best of both worlds, cover and jacket [emoji106] and because my current pack cover is 20+ years old and I don’t want to wear jacket under pack...

    Forgot to mention that it’s got a parabolic(?) shiny metal piece that just hangs off the top of the enclosure to direct light out. You can see it if you look closely.

  16. Anyone use candle- powered, lights in their tents these days?

    I ask because when I section-hiked in the 90’s (pre-smart phones era) I used this. I just weighed it & it came to .3 pounds [emoji848] I guess it’s a trade- off because if you use your headlamp you...
