I agree with gray fox. You can purchase alot of your fruit cheaper then you can make it. By the time you factor in purchase price, man hours, and electricity, some times your better off buying. I am...

I am planning my 2011 thru as well. I have recently bought a L'Eqipe pro dehydrator. It was a bit pricey, but it rocks. I just wanted to add to some of the comments about what to dry, and what to...

OK folks. Mission accomplished. That was good! Less then two days, I wish I could hire you all, WHAT A TEAM!! Two birds with one stone. (1) I have found Titanium for future projects, and (2) I am...

AT Friends. Tortoise1 here. I am searching for Titanium sheet goods to build a DIY Nimbelwill Nomad Wood Burning Stove for my 2011 thru:confused:. I have exhausted every avenue I can think of. Does...

Turtle Feet, I just got back from the first annual Michigan Hang. Had a blast. Tons of hammocks there. I was going with a clark North American NX-150 for my thru, but now, wow, I think Ive changed my...

Thanks Cleamon. Just loged on and joined. I would rather check face book to check in on fellow class of 2011ers, then play Farmville.

I have been price shopping all the company who offer the Mountain House #10 cans of freeze dried food. There are alot more out there then I imagined. I just bought a L'Equip filter pro food...

I am with RETCW4. Always changing. Always upgrading. I have my thru hikers companion and data book, but no maps yet, not sure if I'll get them or not yet. I have to get back to Alaska next month to...

Hocking Hills is nice in South west Ohio, and the North Country trail in Michigan is nice too.

Thanks Mountain Wildman.
Thats not a bad site. Lots of little nothings we find all over but that Mountain House #10 food is cheap. I just spent another $180.oo on food. I might gian weight on my...

Here is another one sent to me by M1 Thumb. This one is also very cool. Calorie Packed meals. Real reasonable prices, and they have an area on this site with a nice AT mail drop list of there own...

Mountain Wildman. I check that site out a little bit this morning. Pretty cool site thanks.

Fellow long distance hikers/thru-hikers. I have been planning for my 2011 thru hike. I plan on a large majority of my resupply to be via mail drops. For those of you who are planning on purchasing...

Ok you two. I'm still listening. I printed out the design that JRiker had provided for me. It certainly looks simple enough. I have the shop, tools, implements, and ability to build whatever. With...

Checked out that link. That was helpful. Thank you.

To All. I am in search of a "BB" Bush buddy wood stove pattern and can not find anything. Pic, Tutorials, dimensions, anything would be helpful. I am down to my last few pieces of gear for my 2011...

One other thing to add or note here. I am just moving back to Michigan from Alaska. I lived there for six years. I did tons of mailing back and forth in those years. If you go to the USPS they have...

Duff. I have done mail drops in the past with little problems. I think you would be better off trying hard to get some support for your mail drops at your home base. If you rely on re supplying...

Hands down. The priority boxes at the USPS is the way to go. They come in three different sizes.They are a flat rate box, usually around $8-10, and you can put up to 70 lbs in them. I have been...

I lost count there, so, I'll be #15. Chompin at the bit! We are all going to go crazy. We still have 11 grueling months ish.

I was just going through the ATC catalog last night. There are several books available that are probably right up your ally.

If you friend has not found a class yet, tell him to check with the red cross. I took my intro to kayaking class with them in 91, and they did a real good job, and it was cheap.

I think that most of the long distance hikers I know, and those I have met seem to feel this way. Not to get off topic, but this thread got me to thinking about this whole thing, and what I remember...
