Bought a new pack
PostMystery Ranch makes some excellent external frame systems. For hauling serious weight. That's the external frame's advantage. Mostly milspec stuff for spec ops. But, my first pack was an external frame Kelty. I upgraded in two years to an external frame North Face. It's all they had in 1973...

Tent suggestions
PostMy BA FlyCreekUL3 has served us well. However, everything has a useful life. And, 8 years and 100 nights....it's showing wear and wearing out. I think my logical choice is the BA Tiger Wall UL3. Holds me, wifey and mutt with room for two backpacks in the vestibules. My Nemo Hornet 2P works fine, for me and the dog. No way wifey and I can spend time in that coffin.....

PostQuote from max.patch: “Quote from odd man out: “Quote from max.patch: “high school in north carolina stops naming a valedictorian as "it's not fair to the students that came close but didn't win" so valedictorians father says "that's a load of crap" and rents a digital billboard. ” To some degree, I agree. Grade inflation is such that GPA is not precise enough to distinguish among top academic performers. Also a GPA-based determination rewards students who take easy courses to pad their GPA. ” i…

PostKnives are a personal thing in the kitchen. What fits your hand and what grip you use are the places to start. For me, the very old(40 years) Sabatier's(Thiers-Issard,Sabatier-K) carbon steel are the best. Second best are the Shun Classic. In fact, my Shun 10" is my go-to when doing bulk(holiday dinners) slicing/prep work. I always grind off the sharp angle on the spine of the bigger knives to make my pinch hold more comfortable. Wusthof where the WORST at that...nice steel though... Neither are…

Took a walk today
PostQuote from Bo Peep: “Been on a walk, was supposed to finish the BMT on my birthday. I’ve worked on it for so long, it seemed a fitting day to end. I’ve dreamed about it. Alas, life had other plans and I’m off trail in Cherokee, heading home due to a death in the family. I’m not bummed about the hike. As Sandy said, family is more important. 19.4 miles to go but will re-hike a section to finish at Big Creek making it 31.5 ” So sorry for your loss.
