OBTW, coconut milk must dehydrate as well, I have a recipe that uses it. I hope it works as I cooked the recipe and dehydrated 10 servings of the dish.

+1 on dehydrating yogurt. Your choice on temperature. If you have variable temperature seeing, 135 F for 6 hours seems to work best for me; 115 F will keep cultures alive (allegedly) but takes...

Have you checked out an "Ampy." It's a kinetic charger/battery. While I've not had great success charging when just walking, it seems to do well on a brisk hike. It doesn't seem to provide a full...

Thanks. I found them. Wasn't trying to be lazy, just been spending many hours with preparation, food, gear, me. Sort of took other "stuff" for granted. Bad mental start. I will refocus; I'm not...

I think I noticed a comment that Palmerton closed their "hostel." I checked both Companion and AWOL. Neither makes reference this year and I don't have access to previous year's editions. Does...

Surprisingly, I was at Harper's Ferry talking to staff about an alternative thru and they reported the completion rates for flips is higher than either NOBO or SOBO. While the rates, percentages, ...

Maybe i missed something... Without taking the handles off the hiking/trekking poles, what prevents you from simply packing them like you would a tent pole? It then serves 3 functions, staff, ...

I've used a foil burner liner for one of the small burners. Form fit the liner around a small canister. To assemble, put the pocket rocket through the bottom hole from the top. You'll need to tilt...

Wow, MREs, you mean they finally got rid of all those C-rats that some unidentified government issued to its personnel?

There are probably no right or wrong answers. By the sound of it, your base weight (equipment without food and water) is 15-18 pounds, not ultralight, but very manageable. Keep trudging in sand and...

The Svea and Sigg cookset still travel, early 70s. The Jansport day pack that was my original backpack has disappeared, I just wish I could pack as little now as I did then, or justify the expense...

For all who responded, thanks. Experience is always welcome. But I have made the decision to opt for the Ti. Physics was a class they told me I probably wouldn't need. But time in the steel mill...

So I was thinking I might be able to lighten the load a little...titanium pot. But in reading some of the notes on the boxes, I find "not to use intense heat, it is not necessary..." moderate heat...

Sounds like you speak from experience

Cosmo:
Do you have any idea on dates for 2016? I realize it's really early, but plan to start at north Adams, SOBO in may next year and after hearing about Upper Goose definitely want to stop....

I second the greatest generation. I also didn't get to thank my dad this year that I read and write in English, lost him close to hours wedding anniversary, July 4. South Pacific, WW II, USMC. Me,...

Oops, too late at night, I'm a year early with that post.

I plan a July 2 summit and SOBO continue. If we meet I'll explain.

Just a question: didn't someone do an AT yo yo then attempt a PCT thru all in the same year. If that memory is correct I also think he got stranded in a snow
storm on his SOBO PCT. He needed a...

From Southwest PA, I'd say youns are likely right, it isn't in PA. I hiked PA in recent history and can't identify or remember anything like jgaisser's description. Therefore it is not PA and...

+1 for everyone who cleans up, at least before hitting towns. I've only had one incident where I had to hitch a ride funky. Fortunately the couple who stopped were from a town about 10 miles from...

Just Tom
Eureka Timberline may be slightly heavier than your limits but did serve me well in a couple of snowed in Colorado. I also think they made a backpack version that was an A frame front with...

Now all we have to do is identify a route no one has gone before

Venchka: seem to remember the air drop scenario, long, long ago; something about carrying a flare and bright colored tarp, and either carrying a parachute out or retrieving it later. Again the early...

I've hiked there at this time of year. The weather predictions are reasonably accurate. My only concern would be rainfall. And only if your hike necessitates stream crossings.
