Quote from socks: “I just can't get worked up about the small stuff in life when I think of some poor bastard who has to tote around his nuts in a wheeled borrowed...makes me feel very fortunate. Scrotal lymphedema images” Thank you for bringing some much needed perspective to this thread ...

Sh*t! I don't carry a machete. I guess I've been doing it wrong.

I extend my hammock's tarp up and out using my hiking poles, and sit in my hammock with my stove at my feet.

Quote from hikerboy: “11025136_389037197887850_47067896471586552_n.jpg ” Always disliked the question "Why are you hiking the AT?" Like I should have some high ideal or lofty spiritual goal. Clearly the sage who coined the phrase "It's just walking" was a student of Alan Watts ...

Quote from jimmyjam: “Plus our little dog gets confused when it snows and does not know where to go to the bathroom because the yard is covered and she can't smell her "spot". So every time it snows not only do I have to clean off the walks, steps, stoop, driveway and car: I have to clear her off a 10 ft x 10 ft "spot" and a trail to it so she can do her "business."” Yer a good man.

Quote from OzJacko: “I am no physicist but I think having more points touching won't help stability. 3 points of contact is hard to beat for stability.” I would think it would increase friction/prevent slippage?

Quote from odd man out: “It's 85 deg F and 70% humidity! No wait, that's the conservatory at Meijer Gardens.” Are you a Michigander?

Quote from socks: “Looking at your stove reminds me of one thing about the pocket rocket that has me scratching my head. The flip out pot stand supports don't lie flat and instead pitch up a couple degrees, i never understood why they made it like this with minimal contact. A quick grinder of the stops that hit and don't allow the feet to swing down further would correct...but I really don't care that much, never had a pot fall off the stove, again, just didn't understand the engineering behind …

The Montauk Gnat DSCF2308-1.jpg When I was getting ready to hike the AT, I stumbled onto Ryan Jordan's review of the Montauk Gnat on BackpackingLight. At the time it was the lightest canister stove on the market at 48g. Titanium and aluminum, a big burner head, simple design, easy to disassemble and clean, a standard o-ring, boils fast, simmers well ... It hasn't failed me in 1560 miles. It comes with a nice, form-fitting plastic case I don't use, and it fits easily in my 700ml Snow Peak Trek co…

The most cogent argument against legalization of marihuana I've heard thus far! DEA Warns Of Stoned Rabbits If Utah Passes Medical Marijuana n-FUNNY-RABBIT-large570.jpg Where would this country be if Peter Cottontail got cottonmouth? Matt Fairbanks, an agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration's "marijuana eradication" team in Utah, testified to a state Senate panel last week, and said rabbits could get addicted to pot, lose their natural instincts and sit around getting high all the time s…

Quote from OzJacko: “That sucks, but what if it snows overnight? Do you glare at it until it melts?” That's why god invented the snowblower ... 71816_10151406293018534_2118026195_n.jpg

Quote from BirdBrain: “Quote from OzJacko: “There is nothing better than the BA insulated Q Core. Lighter but not better.” Exped UL7 is better..... in my opinion.” My Exped UL7 M has given me the best night's sleep I've had on the ground. I love the width, length, the fact the outer two baffles are a little bigger and cradle me all night. I wished it was lighter, and went way too far with a Small Thermorest Neoair X-Lite. At 8 oz, it was a substantial loss of weight, but at 20"wide and 47"L it w…

Quote from Drybones: “Quote from LDog: “ * But I'd wait to see the specs on Exped's announced/soon to be released SynMat Hyperlite Sleeping Pad ...” After buying the BA Q Core Insulated SL at REI Monday, I thought on the way home that someone would probably come up with something better in the near future.” There's always something better in the queue. Ain't that wonderful! Quote: “My next move is to a hammock.” Attaboy!
