Very cool, please post an update at some point I'd love to hear how you like it.

Nothing. On order, that is.
Been thinking about ordering a Pendleton wool shirt. Or possibly (more likely) going the cheapie route, an acrylic flannel shirt from blair.com.
If there's something better than Sorrel boots for winter hiking, I'd give it serious consideration. (Any suggestions?)
got 4 packages on the post office now, they are starting to laugh when they see me, as i am kinda a regular there a few times a month for all kind of stuff, only few things i missed, so now it just the clothes part but thats a touch and feel process
I have no idea at all how women normally shop but I feel so stupid walking in the store touching all the clothes finding just the right stuff and actually trying it on in the store for this trip. If It is going to be my one and only of each thing for 6 months I better fall in love when it touches my hand. LOL
I havent thru hiked, but I've hiked enough to know what works for me and what doesnt, and I could leave tomorrow for a thru hike with the gear I have. It's evolved quite a bit. Things that were once "mandatory" in my mind I havent used but once. Things I scoffed at, I cant leave home now. What's my point? Mass buying for a thru hike is probably a waste of your time and money. Get out and do some actual hiking and camping with what you have - if it works, you dont need a new version of it. If it doesnt, then go shopping. Then use it. Did it hold up? Will it break in a week? Too heavy or unnecessary? You get the idea. There's a good amount of time between now and spring - use it to actually use gear. I know, it's more fun to shop and read reviews.... but that wont get you down the trail when push comes to shove.
{Edit} Also, while it's cold out, and raining, try out your gear. Sleep out. Multiple nights. Walk some miles. Alone. Is it for you? Your gear working?

scrabbler getting new gear for our thru hike is not the same as needing everything. It is about buying those items you have eyed but never purchased because what you had worked. This BIG hike is another deal and everyone buys lavish things. For instance I wouldn't buy wool base layers for anything but this as all my synthetic has worked fine. I could make do with what I have but why shouldn't I buy stuff that will make my trip a little nicer.
haha i am not a girlbut for something that is going to be used so long and for this need to be good
My new vacuum sealer got here! Freeze dryer is scheduled to be delivered Saturday!

freeze dryer, do tell? Been seeing them advertised lately on the boob tube.
Got 2 smartwool tops. 250 crew for sleep and a base 190 1/4 zip to wear. Only upgrade left is my sleeping pad. Waiting to see what comes out new for that.
Harvest Right sells them. We are probably going to run our first test load starting Wednesday. Some home made ice cream (no sugar, we use monk fruit), scrambled eggs, maybe some baked chicken breasts (we can't have a grill where we are) amd maybe some leftovers from dinner the next couple nights.

I ordered more hammock stuff...I had to mass buy because I had no backpacking stuff and then I went to a hammock and started halfway over. It is for me the first step buy gear, step 2 use gear and save money, get life in order step3 hike AT.
Hiking the AT is “pointless.” What life is not “pointless”? Is it not pointless to work paycheck to paycheck just to conform?.....I want to make my life less ordinary. AWOL
Nice! i've since found it and gone to there website, nice machine, would enjoy hearing how it performs over time, good luck havin' fun with it.
