The sky is falling!

Not even lady fingers?

Today I learned that the crotch pot was a real product. All these years I thought it was nothing but an April Fool's joke on their website!

Here's a USA Today article about the incident:

I got a bit...

What pot are you using in the photo above with three silicone cups?

Since it's a supported attempt, I don't see where it matters. Just a continuous clock from first step to the finish.

He's got some real mental toughness to find his limit, then keep going back for more.

At least in that case, the word 'possum' is always used together with down. Every effort was made to avoid confusion.

The butane itself won't, no.

Okay...

That the innermost layer is occasionally referred to as 'down fiber', etc doesn't make it remotely the same as 'down' in the context of any conversation that you'd have about insulation. ...

'Technically it is down'? What??

No.
He was out of line, but that doesn't make your response in any way appropriate.

Exactly. Self supported implies that you're never stepping foot in a vehicle or otherwise receiving support. Anything beyond that qualifies as supported, whether it's simply meeting you at the...

Maybe there's just a ton of variation from one unit to the next. I carried a Mini on one week long trip years ago and it took forever to filter a bottle at a time. I never used it again afterwards....

I clicked the link and nothing came up on Facebook. Took me a minute to realize that's the Facebook group I was unceremoniously banned from years ago when I suggested that the admins might make a...

If you put them on the site, I'll forward the link to a few friends that might be interested. No guarantees, but I've been speaking highly of the system ever since I started using it.

Thanks for sharing that. I like your perspective and the system you've worked out with your family. Good luck on the trail!

It's mind blowing to me that even after a redesign, the thermarest valve seems inferior to the exped version.

It's one thing to say you don't like them, but that was a real jerk response.

Amen. No getting around that altitude related issues do occur, but the phrase 'up to half' is remarkably misleading.

Blood Mountain. From Jarrard Gap to Neel Gap.

Depending on when you want to start, I could potentially get you from Roanoke to Marion.

Good choice on the tent!

You certainly don't 'need' the brain on the pack. Whether its weight is worthwhile is a very individual decision. It definitely has value in organizing some items in a...

When you say 'you', you mean that you as an individual would enjoy your hike more that way?

Seems a bit presumptive to assert what others would enjoy.

I tend to agree. Maybe something like a Protrail would work if you're using trekking poles anyway, but otherwise stay mainstream. The Dagger you've got now isn't really a bad choice - there's...
