PostLots of times I never filtered in the Whites or used any treatment. Enoug spring fed streams with not much above. I'd be wary south of the Whites & in the Mahusucs where there are lots of beaver ponds. In fact Berlin that draws it's water from them had a outbreak of Giardia many years ago. Also factor in the Huts where you can refill your water.

I've always considered good food as a reward for the miles I do. Thus a bit more weight in fuel is never a concern. Cook time doesn't bug me either because I can be filtering water or setting up my tent at the same time, or just kick back & read. If I share weight with a partner, I'll make it from scratch. If I go boxed, I'll lean toward the heavy velvita with broccoli. If doing a box with powder,it needs help; tuna, salmon, bacon, FD veggie, pack of mustard, etc

Astro on the AT 2018
PostQuote from Astro: “Quote from LIhikers: “I remember Mt Lafayette! We were in the clouds with visibility of less than 50 feet, cold rain, and wind so hard that it was hard to stand still. You had to lean into the wind to walk forward. Astro, thanks for making me remember ! ” Hopefully you don't wear glasses. Mine kept fogging up. I would wipe them off and then they would fog right back up and I could not even find the trail. Once I finish the AT, I hope to go back some time and hike Franconia Rid…

Astro on the AT 2018
PostThere are definatly many places where you will be better off just stowing them. Climbing out of each notch & the ladders in the Mahosics. One on the ridges pull them out again.appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…24d7686e4de6181f5e6e6cd65appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…24d7686e4de6181f5e6e6cd65

I agree with hitting northern states due to the timing. I would suggest you join ALDHA (Appalachian Long Distance Hiker Association) aldha.org/ For $10 memebership you also get a PDF copy of their Trail Companion. I reccomend Vermont along with NH & ME. One of the benefits is that there are bus systems that somewhat paralell the AT/ LT (Long Trail) South of Killington & ME Jct you will share camping areas/shelters with Thru Hikers. North of that the Long Trail is less populated. It gets a bit mo…

I learned to cook on cast iron. Rule in my scout troop was meals were cooked from scratch. Nothing like a stew or chili that has simmered for hours on a cold winter trip! Cobblers are quick & easy. I'ven even stacked dutch ovens wen baking for a crowd to save on charcoal when doing a seminar on it. Love cooking on cast iron. Yeserday I had two pots going. One making goulash & another with the meat sauce for lasagna. Prepping for a show, both simmered for hours & aged for a day in the fridge & th…

End of Fort Bastion
PostQuote from Drybones: “Sorry to hear that Mike, really sounded like a great place. You have until June, right?, will you be there during June?, I'd like to come up and share a bottle of whisky with you. ” As much as I would enjou that, right now I plan to move my trailer & tools out in the next week. Unfortunately the boss goes for back surgery Tuiesday. So it has fallen on me to pull stock for the next show & load the up. Then it's off to MI for a week.
