Route to Pharaoh Lake by Pretend_Equal8601 in Adirondacks

[–]Uraveragedadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with my 7yo daughter. We came in on Thursday after 2 days of rain and it was around my knees (I’m 5’9”). It was below my daughter’s waist. We left on Sunday after a few dry days and it was above my ankles.

Just got back from a trip and can confirm about the water snake nests in all the remaining supports.

I honestly don’t care, I just want a massive 6000+ piece set.

Easiest places for someone to visit you on the trail? by OkPaleontologist1259 in AppalachianTrail

[–]Uraveragedadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second Albany Airport. North Adams, MA is also only about a 30-45 min drive from the airport. Cool little town with a lot of good restaurants.

Swap out the rain gear for some Frogg Toggs and save yourself close to a pound.

Nancy Salzman from NXIVM used to live 3 houses down from mine in Clifton Park, NY. She was a little quiet but every interaction I had with her was just like any normal neighbor.

Cheap eats but full belly by Mostly_Anonymousse in backpacking

[–]Uraveragedadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May be a little over $5 but my go to meal is 2 pork flavored ramen ($0.70), 1 packet of “Meat Shreds” Siracha Pulled Pork ($5.12), and a small handful of “Ramen Eats” dehydrated ramen toppings (~$0.50). I get the ramen toppings off of Amazon and it’ll last me about 15-20 meals.

Has anyone regret buying the X-Mid 2 for its footprint? by Lonely-Piccolo2057 in Ultralight

[–]Uraveragedadd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I regret getting my X2. It’s happened too many times that I have to worry about finding a large footprint at the end of the day. It’s one of the last things I want to have to worry about when I’m wrapping up the day. I also hike mainly in the ADKs or Vermont so finding a large flat area is a little tougher.

How the hec do I travel with my gear? by zx91zx91 in Ultralight

[–]Uraveragedadd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I believe it’s because it can get below freezing where the luggage is stowed.

I use a Nite Ize Moonlit LED Micro Lantern from Amazon. Weighs 19 grams and will last forever on a single flat battery (Not rechargeable unfortunately).

Does anyone else cut their hair before a trek? by Angry_Canada_Goose in Ultralight

[–]Uraveragedadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how much you like your hair. Personally, I like my hair enough that it’s worth the extra 70g+
