Do not forget to check out Limmers
At 15 dollars a pair, the jungle boots were what I could afford. What surprised most people is that I found them to be very comfortable. Never a blister.
While the Limmers are heavy. I am a...
I took my first practice hike with about 2/3 of my gear and my pack today. Just a short hike of about three miles. I wanted to experience the combination of new boots (Limmer Mid-weights) and my...
Thanks for the tip on the Deet it is out now. Yes it is a plain sanitary pad and I forgot to mention the gloves as I looked through the kit. Microshield is a good idea.

I bought a family sized one years ago. I used up/stripped most of the stuff out of it and as I refilled it I had plenty of room for other general safety and support gear. I do not mind carrying extra...
I made a cozy today. It came in heavy at 4 oz but, I think that I will be able to actually bake in it if I wanted to take Bisquick with me.
I took an insulated nylon lunch box and cut it down...

I actually have now looked at packs. I had to decide on weight vs. the ability to organize. I am a organization freek and it is nice to have the pockets and pouches. Also as I looked at internal...
Thanks for the suggestion on a stove. I had acutally looked at that one and will look again. Boiling water for noodles/rice ect. and dry food was usually my method. I never have been one to buy...
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge regarding these packs?
I am looking at a huge (7000 CI) pack for a great price.

Doctari,
Stove and cooking utensils are on the list to be purchased. I used to backpack pretty exclusively with Sterno and a single ring stove. I will get a pack stove as my next purchase.
