I addressed 7 “protein” around nutrition. Agree with needing protein. I just threw in 10 pounds of chicken in the dehydrator. Completely disagree with carbs=simple energy= body fat. Don’t need to get...

It’s been a while! I have used maltodextrin on two long hikes (PCT and CDT) as well as dozens of shorter (hundreds miles) hikes. I am currently packing up for another PCT thru and Malto will be with...
Here was my splits from ‘20
Start May 30
NM - 24 days (eased into mileage, took Gila)
CO - 25 days (almost no snow, 100% CDT)
Wy - 16 days
ID/MT - 29 days (Took Anaconda but not Mack’s inn)...
I met a thru hiker on the AT in Georgia in 2012 that carried a five gallon bucket. Before you say “he will never make it”..... I met him in NJ a few months later still carrying the same bucket. ...
Don’t forget the PCT is an extra 500 miles. And there are plenty of cruisy AT sections. It’s not all Maine and NH. No though in that feat if she pulls it off.
Dogwood, step back away from the keyboard. You are using up all of the digital characters.
If you haven’t seen any of the video out of “Star Wars Canyon” then check this out. I have had jets buzz me a low level in Panamint Valley but this is a whole different level.

There is a funny malto story out of that hike. Let’s just say my fellow hikers experience with Malto didn’t quite go as planned. I only did a portion of that hike with them. I caught up with them...
This gives you a peak at Lowest to Highest.

Look into the Cottonwood Canyon/Marble Canyon loop. Another very cool place is Cerro Gordo as is Darwin Falls both of which are on the Lowest to Highest Route. Another cool sight on Lowest to...
It is every bit as bad as you expect it to be. Or, it’s every bit as good as you expect as well. All depends on whether you are looking for what is cool or what sucks. I actually enjoy dancing...
My grandson is studying to be an MD. He is in preschool! If I were king I would outlaw an articles about “gonna do”. You could only report about done. Reminds me of a TV interview of a woman that...
Is there a dancing monkey?
It was a great operation while it lasted but you can do a decent resupply and head on. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did.
Swami did some pretty long carries on the 12 long hikes, a mix of town resupplies and mailed packages as you indicated. I know that he had someone carry a good supply of Little Debbies and Spam on a...
I just finalized my CDT plan and I try to keep resupplies under 150, 5 days. Seems pretty doable other than the sections that Garlic highlighted which will require choices. the most food I carried...
I only need microspikes when I’m not carrying them. I only carry them when I don’t need them. Something is wrong with my strategy.
Just for grins and chuckles I spun the wheel with three devices. I ended up getting a 172 on one of them. I immediately released them so no hikers were harmed in my entertainment. Pretty cool...
With all due respect you have no clue what you are talking about. Some of the most experienced, not just letter trails, hikers I know have sub 10 lb base weights. It is not the pack weight but the...
This is unfortunate because a bearvault makes a crappy pillow. My food bag on the other hand works quite well. This was bound to happen after seeing some pathetic hangs over the years.
Really? Hike 10,000 and get back with me. Anyone can play this game.

it doesn’t appear to have been a secret meeting.
The rocks are overhyped. Shorter days, no trailrunners. Really? I don’t believe the rocks are any worse than Md or even further south until after you get north of Port Clinton. I trail run from...
