It's not just that comment in this thread that has me a little heated. I understand you are allowed your point of view and I respect that, but to trash every style but your own puts you as the court...
I used to enjoy your posts until I realized, just now, that you are the one "holding court" and preaching your way as the only way.

I'm on the trail now and I ditched my cut up bottle for a quart zip lock bag. It's ez to stuff anywhere in reach and it's lightweight. I can't claim the idea a hiker gave me the idea.

Yes, this is the spirit of this thread in a nutshell!
I tried pads in different combinations for so long and could never get it right for me. That doesn't mean that someone else didn't find a...
Carnation instant breakfast and powdered milk when packing up then granola cereal with milk when walking out. snacks until lunch when I actually cook.
all you really need to have gear wise is clothing for warmth and a good shelter in case of storms. the weather is the only true threat, you can learn the rest on the way. too much water on the trail,...
YES! It is getting close. I have 1 1/2 hours before I leave my work place for good! I then make my way to Atlanta GA to pick up my dad from the airport the 21st so he can drive me to the trail and...

exofficio and body glide work for me, like TS stated earlier, compression shorts got me as well over time.
The majority of the time I filter my water but then again I grew up a city boy on tap water. Maybe its more psychological than not but it works for me, if nothing else it gets me to not doubt the...

I created a poll for the shy for more accurate numbers. It is anonymous so feel free to select without judging eyes.
I made an off the cuff statement in another thread listed below:
