How many gallons of tea will you need? Due to work schedule, we aren't sure if we can volunteer but we can run some supplies up.

I use a mix of both. Just depends on the trip. I have switched to Ziploc steamer bags instead of freezer bags. No idea if they are any healthier/safer but at least they are designed to get hot. They...
Thanks DuneElliot. Looks like a great trip!
Thanks Lonehiker, much appreciated. Let me see what I can put together over the next few months before I start pm'ing you.
I have been looking at the centennial trail in South Dakota and I am trying to gather up more info for a possible thru hike next spring. If anyone in here have any experience and info I would really...
[QUOTE=windlion;2223863]I suppose you'd better add me to the retard list.
We will.
This is my responsibility as a parent or dog owner, not the snakes.I grew up running wild in the woods of East Tennessee and we managed to not get snake bit. The only person I personally know that...
I'm starting to find it odd that 2 different bear vaults have failed and no one seems to have a picture of it. The pics and video of the Ursack that failed was in multiple places in a week. I'm sure...
I ran into a flip flop per in the Smokies last June that had a collapsible fly rod and a hand full of flies. He wasn't trying to supplement his food just doing something he loves on his zero days. If...
Backcountry.com lists the Kelty Salida 2 as 4 pounds 9 oz.. I'm assuming you and your cousin are splitting it up. 26 pounds without food and water is on the heavy side. I would take the advice about...
A rattlesnake tried to bite my girlfriend on the BMT in GSMNP last June. She had been finding all sorts of interesting things in the weeds along the sides of the trail, mice, salamanders, turtles...
I am guessing that the bus in question is the Gatlinburg "trolley". It drives around Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge hauling tourists. I don't know of any other bus service in the area. Google Gatlinburg...
One of the experienced professional bears. I'm going to have to deal with one of those at some point. Girlfriend is still sort of new to hiking and has fell in love with the Smokies. I don't think...
Too late... secrets out. Nothing completely useless but I have to agree with the nalgene bottles. Some cheap stuff sacks. I didn't buy them but I have been gifted about 10 of those magnesium fire...
Is the tent in question from a name brand manufacturer or one of the Chinese knock offs? I can't imagine one of the major players being that far off. My big Agnes tent was an ounce lighter than the...
Patman, had you ever cooked, ate or kept food in that tent that got shredded? I haven't had any trouble with the bears in the Smokies and wondering if it's things that I do or just dumb luck. My...
The scariest thing I have ever done while backpacking is riding out thunderstorms. It sucks but sometimes it becomes your only option.
More Hikers with less skill in food storage. Obsession with weight leading to more hikers, even experienced ones, trying to burn trash. This leaves more food smells around shelters. The main thing in...
Good luck!! Remember...it's not the heat, it's the humidity.
Do you pay afee to stay there? Because if it's National Park Service property and there is no fee or reservations, they aren't going to be able to stop me from using a bunk if I choose to do so. Thru...
I clean my Sawyer's, mini and regular, following the instructions that come with it and haven't had any trouble. Dropped the first one off the deck onto the driveway and broke it. Can't blame that on...
I agree 100%! My personal opinion is that people burning trash that has food residue on it is a large part of the problem we are having with bears on the AT and in the Smokies. I can't understand why...
I went to rainbow gathering in Kentucky in the early 90's. My friends and I being hillbillies came prepared for a week of camping with crazy items, like food, drinks, cooking equipment etc.. We spent...
I have an early 80's Kelty super Tioga backpack that I would be willing to trade for a Hyperlight or ZPacks backpack if that would make one of you feel better.
I used the brush on version of that to redo the rainfly on my Eureka alpinelite 2xt. Working great so far. I have an old Gregory that I may try that on and see what happens.
