Simple question, what do they think? if you tell them they are going they may find a way to make everyone miserable, if they are asked and WANT to go, keep the packs light, plan it like any other...

that's one of the advantages of sandals vs. flip flops. The heal strap keeps your feet in them. you can also quickly adjust them to be tighter or looser depending on the terrain, how your foot feels,...

I can say with complete certainty they are even scout proof. If you are on the fence they are too cheap NOT to try.

I hike in tevas just about year round. Tried Chacos but they didn't fit right on my flat feet. Have zeros for around town, love them until they get wet just too slippery on the top of the footbed. No...

Zpacks hip pockets should work.

I haven't read the whole thread but looking at the gear list a few things jump out at me price wise. The z seat can be found all day long for around a buck if you look at aliexpress.com for the...

Wait, that's an option? :-?

I use this to make a Thai peanut sauce. I still carry a small bottle of sesame oil and a couple packets of soy, but boy oh boy.....

A quick fix for this...
once you figure out the amount of slack you like, tie a ridge line between the two hammock ends. If you tie it so that this line is tight each time, you know exactly how...

I've taken a few first timers out and a shelter has been a destination. Not all hikes are thru and even then some folks just want the feeling of going to something they can reach in a day or so. I...

That pencil sharpener isn't a bad idea. Makes a pile of shavings quick and helps kids find the right size for kindling. Oh and you can use it to sharpen your pencil too. Not to mention the really...

I find that my pup does better if I get her used to the pack around the house first. Then the only time she sees it is when we go for a hike. She LOVES her pack now, starts bouncing like a bunny...
