Not if I drink it after 7 o'clock in the evening.

ha ha, ok, just read the article...spose I'd take a chance.

It was an overnighter.....

In fact, before I cast judgement before or against I need to know if she would have felt my life was worth the same as hers and let me partake as well had we been lost together. Anyone got any contact information for this woman?

She probably would've died to spite me just because I was male and I dared point out the orbs of goodness she had attached to her.....women, I swear. I mean, damn, I would've let her have the bigger one or at least let her chose which one was hers....

There's got to be a UL joke in there somewhere.

A runner becomes lost during a race? Self-feeds herself?

Stories of this caliber suggest I spend too much time on the net.

No for me too. The amount of Nido I carry is always close to a pound. No where near UL standards.

Whhaat? Nido is whole milk - not nonfat byproduct of Chocolate Manufacture.

I first discovered Nido in the late 70's. Up until then I carried Parmalat. It was one of the latter stages of my going UL. It was sometime after I dropped the 2 burner Coleman white gas stove in favor of the new ultralight screw-on one burner and a single propane bottle. These 2 combinations and a couple of others and I was on my way. Still carried Campbell's Pork and Beans and Dinty Moore Beef Stew in cans but trail life was getting easier.

...that's what I always carried too, Parmalat after reading Colin Fletchers book. "The Complete Walker. Up until recently I was unable to find Nido, then found it in a Mexican grocery while getting some hard to find (at the right price) spices and dried peppers.

That was the only place I could find it too was in the Mexican store. Couldn't even find it at Winn-Dixie or Publix. We didn't have Walmart back then.

Nothing wrong with going into a Mexican bodega.. folks are wonderful and the variety is awesome. I get my best sauces from these locations. Great conversations. Soda with aloe or drinks with aloe is my son's favorite. Still not sure what to do with that weird root in the vegetable isle. It's all good.

I live across the river from the best dairy in the world. Again, I don't do plastic moo.

See that window to the right of the screened porch? That's the drive thru. Best milk on the planet.

That is a great video.

Unfortunately, I can't drink much milk. I was worried about Nido but a little seems to be ok.

Foresight · May 20th 2015, 12:44am

I can, but choose not to. My earliest memories are from when I lived in Puerto Rico. Milk was delivered to our front door every morning at 0600, 4 glass jars (qt each) in a wire basket. It was real milk and had to be shaken. I remember moving back to SC and the kids here giving me a hard time about shaking the hell out of my little milk cartons at school before I would drink them. I remember my mom telling me that I didn't have to shake the milk in SC.

"So it's not real milk?"
"It's real milk, you just don't have to shake it"
"So it's not real milk".

I quit drinking milk then. Happy cow changed that, lol. You ain't gotta shake it, but I still do anyway when I do drink it. No matter how much milk is in the jug I will shake it until it doesn't make any sound

I blame my brother for my hard headedness. He was 7 years older than me and to be involved in his goings on meant you had to suffer the wrath of he and his friends. I was mean as crap back then, had to be. Those bastards still laugh about knocking me off my bike just to watch me fight them. Shitheads, lol

the farmers market where i get my weekly fruit and veggies started carrying raw milk a couple weeks ago. 7.50 for a gallon of milk; 7.50 for a 10 ounce wheel of butter. i only know becasue they sent me an email, and i saw it there last week.

i don't buy milk anymore as it goes bad before i use it all up. i've switched to almond or cashew "milk" which of course it isn't. no offense to any of our milk drinkers, or my uncle who owned a dairy farm his whole life and that is how he made his living, but the thot of sitting down and drinking a glass of milk gives me the heebie jeebies. i used milk as a food, not a beverage.

apparently from what i read on the internet i am the rare hiker that uses non fat carnation instead of nido. if i plug up the artieries to my heart its gonna be from something i enjoy eating, not milk.

I too grew up with the milk being delivered to the door, in fact it was a friend of mine who's family owned the dairy farm in central Jersey that operated up until about the 80's if memory serves. His grandfather would employ kids to clean the milk trucks on the weekends...not a bad gig for a kid to earn a few bucks.

And to bring this talk of milk back around to hiking, the market in Kent, CT, (not far from the AT) has, or at least used to have, milk that wasn't homogenized

I don't like homo milk, I much prefer the real thang...straight from the teet.
