The price drops greatly if you are willing to carry more weight and do your own seam sealing.

Try flying into Milwaukee from Cancun in January, and walking around outside with inadequate clothing.

Chiefs, by Stuart Woods. Race and prejudice figure prominently in the story.

Quote from odd man out: “The last time I fried anything backpacking was in 1981. Some friends and I did the Old Rag Loop. They insisted on having pancakes one morning. We learned that no amount of vegetable oil would keep the pancakes from sticking to the pan like glue. It was a disaster. I don't think we got one edible cake out of the ordeal. These days I cook in my pot - favorites are rice and bean/lentil mixes. Bring to boil, set in pot cozy. Basically like FBC, but without the freezer bag. O…

Let's move the dribbling to the basketball thread.

Three days of cold rain coming this afternoon.

Quote from Drybones: “I have been thinking about guitar lesson, but I don't believe I have enough life left to learn it. ” Even at 116, you may surprise yourself.

I wear long sleeves, pants, and a bandana in the long green tunnel. I don't remember ever frying.

My beard is longer than my mane. I visited Baxter Park on a bicycle today. It was flat and grassy. google.com/maps/place/Baxter+P…6a7515:0xc5557d325541ceee I have been to Trail Days a few times, but this year I hope to be earning money instead.

Quote from Dan76: “Quote from NoAngel: “Quote from meat: “I thought it was Astro at first ” The guy had on sweat pants, black tshirt with some band logo or something on it and a sport coat.

I got a little too much sun earlier this week, and a few raindrops today.

Interesting technique, but not for me. I have bottles in the side pockets. I could put the bottles in the pockets after my pack was on, but it pushes the limits of my range of motion. I have never used a hydration sleeve for a water bladder, but it makes a nice tortilla pouch.

Quote from ScareBear: “Quote from JimBlue: “I might put a bicycle rack with a waist height platform on my car. That way I can just place it on there and buckle the pack on. No trying to stand up with a pack on. ” Honestly, if you can't pick up your pack with one hand and put it on, it's too heavy for hiking... ” Those of us with a desk job behind a computer screen had little reason to build upper body strength. I used picnic tables for a while, but I got stronger and did not carry as much weight…

Thanks. OK, maybe it was the salt, but something turned the aluminum foil black and ate holes in it. Maybe it was truly awful lasagna.

The only morel I ever found was in a mixed forest that included oaks. I didn't slice it, lengthwise or otherwise.

If you cook in aluminum foil, leave the salt and anything acidic (lemon juice, vinegar, tomatoes, many sauces) off until actually eating the food, or better yet after transferring the food to something not made from aluminum. Some may wish to avoid aluminum in their diet. Maybe I should think about that, but for me it is all about the taste. I would never wrap lasagna or pizza in aluminum foil.

One shelter along the GAP looks similar.

I was in international waters, but it was smooth "sailing" on a cruise ship.
