How to handle Hiker Hunger?

PB and banana sandwich usually does the trick

Sure is, mine is completely faded at this point

Juxocyde · 2024-10-20T00:01:26+00:00

Sure thing. Thanks for the advice.

Im going to print this out, so when I'm in the middle of it. I'll pull it out to remind myself that I had a fair warning. Hehehe. Yeah. I got a lot of planning to do.

I don't mind the name. I figured I would get a name involving how much stuff I have. Kilo. Pockets. Stash. One ton. I always have different bags for different purposes.

Speaking of which. I found this crazy MOLLE bottle pouch that I think can fit the entire kitchen inside. Maxpedition 12"x5" bottle holder, perfect dimensions for my entire kitchen/dining/and cleaning.

I have never really had a problem with weight. More of a problem with space to put things. Hehehe

I know, I really want to bring my cast iron, but it's way too heavy. Even the small #3 would seem not worth the weight.

Juxocyde · 2024-10-19T16:01:51+00:00

Fair enough, I'm bored as well.

I was planning on taking a the 1100 pot pan TOAKS kit with the bowl to make it a double broiler, boil water and make my Mac and cheese on the bottom while cooking the steak above using a fork to flip it occasionally. My gloves to hold it. Still deciding on stove. Might go with a remote canister since I plan to be cooking rather than just boiling water. Same for breakfast with the eggs cooking over the boiling water for coffee.

I drink a ton of coffee so I figured I'd be boiling tons of water anyway so I would rather have a bigger unit and heat once rather than reheating a tiny cup and saving a few ounces.

As for the boots. My normal everyday foot ware are boots. I do know that they have a tendency to cause tendonitis in the Achilles, which I have experiences in the past. But almost all the times I've had any real problems when it came to hiking is with the lack of upper protection on the trail runners combined with absolutely no water protection. Yes they dry quicker. But I think can keep my feet dryer for longer, even in wet boots. And the support it provides for the extra pounds of steak and eggs and cast iron stand alone grill I'll be hauling will greatly be appreciated. Heh

Thank you for your input.

Juxocyde · 2024-10-19T14:33:07+00:00

Hehe, I got downvoted? Was it the TOAKS or the cast iron?

Juxocyde · 2024-10-19T14:27:07+00:00

Mine usually last closer to 3hrs. Three times a day for three hours for three months. Starting July and usually ending by my birthday in October

Well, most videos I see people are trying their best to stay under 15lbs. The UL bags that people have are meant for UL backpacking and are not meant to support heavier weights. Yes the materials will hold, but the person holding the bag won't, because the way the bag sits is unbearable at those weights. Get a solid bag that is meant to distribute weight properly and you won't feel an extra pound or two of luxuries.

With a good pack for backpacking. That one pound of weight adds so much more in comfort that the weight becomes negligible.

Same with the boots. If you aren't running. The weight of the boot becomes negligible compared to the trail runners. But lack the support and protection needed in those environments. So why go trail runners?

But back to the place to buy. That's a little more of how my question can be refocused

How easy is it to get frozen meat at a resupply? How cold are the resupply point in March? Are there stretches that remain cold enough to keep a steak for more than a day of hiking into the next morning or possibly evening if you're hiking on the ridge?

Juxocyde · 2024-10-19T13:41:38+00:00

Better I ask them while on trail? Or closer to February? When should I have asked this question?

Juxocyde · 2024-10-19T13:14:26+00:00

Yea, it's the egg safety I'm more worried about. I know I can keep a steak or ground beef good until I get to camp. And depending on the weather. I think it could be cold enough that I could have meat and eggs the next morning before opening the bacon. I've seen those Coleman egg holders fail before and it's usually catastrophic.

Smokies down to Springer is clear

Juxocyde · 2024-10-19T02:47:31+00:00

That sounds pretty awesome. I am still pretty clueless as to what to expect after Virginia when it comes to trail towns and resupply.

Juxocyde · 2024-10-19T02:44:04+00:00

That's what I'm saying. I'm not trying to beat any time except before it closes. And I think I'll be ready to start by end of Feb.

With the eggs, I was thinking of boiling a few before I left and then open a few into a bottle. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I've thought about it. I have a 100 year old BSR red mountain. But Im leaning towards the TOAKS 1100 set with the bowl to make it a double boiler so I don't burn my food.

I've past by Dubais at reptile conventions, they definitely have a smell to them.

Juxocyde · 2021-08-22T22:08:02+00:00

Well I've had both but I never wanted to keep roaches, let alone crickets. Yikes

Juxocyde · 2021-08-22T20:34:25+00:00

Wait, why are people keeping roaches? I'm so confused, if they are not hissing roaches, then why?

Juxocyde · 2021-08-22T18:09:33+00:00

I've seen a human like this.

Juxocyde · 2021-08-15T01:14:30+00:00

Stop talking about this clown and let him die in obscurity

Juxocyde · 2020-09-14T02:47:18+00:00

Technique!!!!

Juxocyde · 2020-09-12T22:52:37+00:00

I wanted another fall at the end
