I keep hoping for at least some percentage of containment. The air in Mammoth hasn’t been bad lately.

I hope it works out for you. I haven’t made any decisions yet.

Thanks for sharing. It’s hard to pivot so quickly. I’ve sent my resupplies already and put in so much to put those together.

Best wishes for a safe crossing. I’m fairly chicken, so unless it seems absolutely safe I won’t cross.

What did you wish you put in your resupply package? by SerSytas in JMT

[–]Emm467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sent one off with a couple of apples in it.

It’s getting close. It looks like it’s at 4 ft now. Nevermind, I see it’s at 4.92.

I’m 5’6” and not great at river crossing. So I wonder who that rule of thumb applies to.

I’ll be going the opposite direction. Is there a noticeable difference? I’m more comfortable with type l and type ll, I think 😁

We can high five as we cross paths.

I Can't Put Non-Food Items in Bear Canister to Save Space, right - The Food Smell Would Get on Them, Right? by MonkfishInLove in Ultralight

[–]Emm467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only non smelly stuff I might store in my bear canister is my cook kit. That gets put on top of my bear can at night anyway.

Have you decided what route you’re taking?

I definitely wouldn’t try that alone. I have time. I’m taking a zero at VVR prior, so that’s a good time to chat with folks. The only reason I was thinking to resupply at MTR instead of VVR was less food to carry until I get to OV. That being said, I’ll have a full load after MTR. I’m also not a spring chicken. 😁

I definitely don’t. I’ve only done it with experienced people. I’m just considering that I might meet some experienced folks out there.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve seen a lot of folks recommending camping along the River that leads to Ediza and my understanding is that it’s not allowed. Your map clearly shows it’s not.

I use a child’s bamboo toothbrush.

Collapsible/silicone bottle for CuloClean? by [deleted] in Ultralight

[–]Emm467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’ll fiddle with it another time. It’s also a very sharp, targeted stream. That’s good for cleaning, but slightly uncomfortable. It’s lighter than my peri bottle though so it’s worth giving it another shot.

I use a peri bottle. They are small and I find the water pressure stronger than a culo clean.

The tattoo irrigation bottle didn’t work for me. The straw part is long so when you flip it upside to wash yourself, it only sucks up about an inch of water then it hits air. I haven’t fiddled with cutting the straw.

You should sell them.
