I like a packet of dehydrated mince and another packet of dehydrated vegetables (our equivalent of Mountain House makes both). I add a bit from each to a packet of ramen and add a good dose of soy sauce. Gets me to my next steak.

I think that I am far more likely to have sex 5 times than it is to snow around here.

Quote from PaulMags: “Quote from WanderingStovie: “Bicycling and cross-country skiing are good cardio, and build leg muscles, but not the ones you need for walking downhill with a heavy pack. Ice skating develops ankle muscles that should help when walking across rocks and roots. ” Actually, backcountry skiing is quite possibly the best possible outdoor exercise you can do..exp when skiing as a form of transportation for winter backpacking as opposed to very light day outings. When I have a full…

Quote from Wise Old Owl: “Quote from max.patch: “yet another reason not to smoke. ” Serious it is very funny and I have to say not so funny. Max from the heart, I wish you had not posted this. I know I would have possibly done the same. I am an avid "gee you should not smoke" due to my dad who is currently struggling and surviving bladder cancer, but to say cats get it - well I want to see real studies & science. Just sharing... trying very hard not being at all judgmental. ” We share 90% of our…

Quote from TrafficJam: “Quote from OzJacko: “I prepare for long hikes by organising the time, the money and the gear. The fitness comes on the trail. "It's just walking". You get better at it as you go along. ” I agree, being fit isn't a requirement for long distance hiking. But when you do short hikes, like myself, it's tough to be out of shape. ” The nearest Bib hut to me is about a one mile walk from where I park the car. It has about 500 feet of climb in the first half mile. I go there fairl…

I prepare for long hikes by organising the time, the money and the gear. The fitness comes on the trail. "It's just walking". You get better at it as you go along.

I'm with Max on thruhiking versus section hiking. To me a thruhike is fairly continuous, i.e. no breaks long enough to lose "condition". Having said that I would never tell someone who took 3 months off and said they thruhiked it that they were a section hiker. It's my definition, not theirs. On night hiking, I don't like it much. I agree it slows you down. It can also be unnerving, lots of extra creature activity at night. It's reasonably popular here, particularly at this time of year, as a wa…

Compression of down will cause it to lose (most of) it's effectiveness. Turning within the bag would affect it little. Turning with the bag would. It's one of the reasons I like a semi rectangular bag with room to turn within it. It is also a reason a restless sleeper may do well to look at quilt options. I think if I was out in the kind of weather you guys get I would get a quilt to put over my 40 degree bag. I like my bag here because when it's too warm (yes my 40 degree bag is often too warm …

Quote from JimBlue: “Quote from TrafficJam: “Quote from jimmyjam: “Quote from TrafficJam: “How much does the war hammer weigh? ” You thinking about carrying one hiking for a can opener? ” I was going to respond that all Valkyries need a good war hammer but decided to read a little more about Valkyrie weapons.The Viking Answer Lady says that Valkyries depicted as fighting women is a misconception. Instead, they were "intimately involved in weaving or spinning the fates of men". ” They picked up b…

Annie travels 73km (45m) each way each day. Takes her about 55 min each way. Traffic is not an issue. It's a major pain but she listens to lots of cd books.

Quote from rafe: “Quote from TrafficJam: “Quote from max.patch: “Quote from Astro: “Hi, those with a significant other, or interested in pursuing one, please don't forget what this Sunday is. ” yeah, a scam thot up by the florists, chocolatiers, restaurantiers, and greeting card companies to remove money from our wallets and into their till. but i'm wise to their ways. ” St. Valentine didn't eat chocolate or give his lover flowers...but he did get his head chopped off.

Quote from twistwrist: “Quote from TrafficJam: “The certificate obviously made Clarity happy and that's all that matters. Be proud of it girl, you worked hard. ” You are about the most encouraging person I know. Thanks, TJ! ” I hope you didn't take my comments personally. I loved your reports and your attitude. You should be proud. The thread had meandered into a different area and I was posting my personal stance. I know that whether or not someone "deserves" their certificate is an area of str…

Quote from JimBlue: “Quote from Dan76: “Quote from JimBlue: “I need to work on my endurance. I know eating chocolate covered peanuts all day and posting to web forums isn't going to work. ” Switch to chocolate covered raisins. ” There are uhm issues with that. ” Just stay with chocolate. Peanuts and raisins steal space that could be taken by chocolate.
