I have three stoves from Minibull, and like them all. The Atomic is my favorite.

I stayed at Hawk Mountain shelter with him on 3/5 (I think). I'm sure he's done and home now. Very nice guy, and gave me some of the best advice I've ever heard.

Hmph, I would never leave my husband for a.....wait, can I actually get rich with this scheme?...I would never leave my husband for such a terrible thing! :p

Yikes, maybe I should change it! ;)

Make the space for a nice thick pad to sleep on. She'll enjoy the whole thing more if she can sleep well.

That's basically what I do, which is why I'm not worried. And thanks for the "good luck", I'll probably need it.:)

I took both support and criticism in this thread, as I have in others. It was onyl when it crossed over into profanity that I "lashed out". Being told that if I didn't get "off my ass", treat my...

Thanks for your good wishes. I haven't disclosed any intimate details of my life, though.

iceman and hammock engineer: Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I don't have great insurance (we buy our own) and mine is already about maxed out this year from having a checkup and x-rays on my...

I never let razzing get to me. :) I'm itching to go, but my foot just isn't ready yet. We've settled on April 1st, so I'll be going stir-crazy until then!

The history behind it is that it came out over a great weekend I had with my local trail buddies. We got a little nuts, hiked a lot of miles, and had a great time. The joking got a little raunchy. ...

I'd be happy to send mine to someone who really wants them. I quit drinking coffee recently, and found that I didn't like cooking in the morning on the trail, anyway. I sent for two but have only...

Are you planning to bring both the 3L water bag and the bottles? That's a lot of water. You might consider just the bag, or a smaller bag and one of the bottles.

SteveM - I know you're not being mean. I do have very clear (in my mind) reasons for wanting to do a thru. I doubt I could explain them well, though. It's not about insecurity or provong anything,...

I don't think you'll find a single post in this thread where I did anything like lashing out. Why, you ask, did I "lash out" at you and no one else? Because others who responded (though some of their...

I also just got mine. Mine came in little foil tubes, though.

My bag fits in the mesh pocket on the back of my pack (not all packs have that) and string the tube under my arm, clipping it just above the chest strap connection on one of my shoulder straps. I...

Go ahead, dearie. By keeping it private I was trying to keep attention off you.

The cheese was definitely the deciding factor. ;)

You know, I didn't bring any cheese with me in my first two weeks. I actually dreamed about it a couple of times. I'll be bringing a nice big...

BirdLegs from this year is off to a great start.

I had one (the red one) break a few months ago. The ring around the opening cracked and a piece fell of. It leaked after that, so I threw it out and got one of the extra-durable ones (black with...

That was part of my reasoning, too. I'm the only one out there with three stripes of purple duct tape on each pole.

I've never done it, but I've heard wrapping it around a straw works well. I have mine on my poles.

Oh, and one other thing: A Llama Punch is like a donkey punch but with spitting. This is what happenes when you let your hiking buddies trail name you.

(I wish I could edit.)

Talked to hubby tonight. He's planning to drive me back down to Hiawassee the last weekend of this month. April 1st is my restart date, beginning where I left off (I feel a little funny about that,...
