I am friends with roadie & shotgun. They were in hot springs a couple days ago and took a zero, have not seen them since then but should be on there way to Erwin TN, which normally takes five days...
Hey we told Neels about a bear taking two fellow hikers food bags. It was a couple nights ago at the slaughter creek campsite on the south side of blood Mtn in GA
Yea that unit will do just fine for all water treatment needs
I am starting on the 19th, you missed me somehow mt. Squid!
to add something to this discussion, the ingredients in the sweetwater drops are the same as in aquamira essentially. They both use Chlorine Dioxide to do the job.
Filters do not treat viruses,...
That is what I use!, not aquamira. you just have to understand that the instructions on the bottle assume you put the water through the sweetwater filter FIRST so it says let sit for a few minutes...
Boiling water will kill giardia, cryptosporidum and anything else in the water. but only carbon filters will neutralize any chemicals that may be in the water, but people usually are less concerned...
Thank you! I looked this up and researched into it, it seems very counter-intuitive to put oil on the skin but alot of credible doctors are now saying to use this method it seems.
I will be trying...
half gallon challenge! (do they still give out the wooden spoon if you complete it?)
I'm gOnna be setting out in nine days now... I have spent my budget on my preparations and extra gear and would like to not spend any more on gear, if I HAVE to I will, but since this is the DIY...
That is correct! (slaps forehead) thank you.
Trail runners all the way! But only if u have the packweight to match! Heavy packs also mean more chance of injuring ankles without ankle support. Light pack + light feet = more fun
I never have but would not recommend it for this pack. It's got a very large capacity so that means more stuff and it needs a heavier frame.
I finished the book a couple days ago. I really liked it. Had alot of fun reading it. I read it on the kindle.
I'm in the same place as you bro, starting skinny and really can't lose more than five or ten pounds max. We will see. I figure eat alot and all but we are in good shape and being skinny does also...
I'm homeless anyway, backpacking just makes it cool and gives me something to do!'
I have a final "skin out" pack weight just a little under yours with food and water for three days, so close to yours. I think your packweight is great and you should be very happy with that. 30...
whoa! cool! thats got to be exciting, yet worrisome, is this the first time your packs been traveling on her own without you?
Have a good hike, 9 days? woo hoo! Im starting the 19th from the...
Thanks for those words of excitement Joe cross! Cannot wait. I think seeing my first white blaze will be amazing.
Yea it's kind of unbelievable. It's getting close. Went to rei last night to pick some things up, pretty much have everything but some odds an ends which are things I can get at the drugstore, like...
As long as it's nOt raining the first thing I do when I wake up each morning (after I pee) is turn my sleeping bag inside out and hang it On the clothes line to air and dry out.
You don't need too big a pack actually, 3000(+\-) cubic inches or 60 liters is the norm.
Wait! What's the code and is it still goin on!!!!???
I hiked the southern Illinois portion, a two week trip also referred to as the " river to river" trail as it spans from the Missouri to the Mississippi river across Illinois. It was a nice trail very...
