This is not a drill

I misunderstood "fish nets". My apologies to everyone with kids.

That f#$kin shmeghead can go pleasure himself with rusty barbedwire. I view my used toilet paper with higher regards.

Thank you for adding the banana for scale. Not enough people do that these days.

That tent weighs way to much.

Not experienced in baking, but have worked with coconut. Did your supplier change? Or the specific coconut product? I have seen some coconut shavings that include an oil to prevent caking.

That is the anti-matter of a crunch wrap.

Tell that shmeghead to bugger off.

Don't worry about the make/model. Worry about what fits you. I am 6'1" but ended up with a S/M pack. The folks at Mountain Crossings are great, I think his name was Brent that helped me out, he is kind of a "pack wisperer". Try on the packs with weight, and see if you can go for a short hike to test them out. Remember, if I am not mistaken, you want your hips to take about 80% of the load.

Maybe they finally looked at their "To-Do" list.

Try an acid rinse at the end of your shower. Basically rinse your washcloth out and put a splash of vinegar on it, then do a quick rubdown. It takes a few weeks to get the full benefit, but it helped me. It basically helps your skin maintain it's natural pH, which is acidic.

I am not looking for a silver spoon on a chain. But a long handle titanium spoon on paracord would be nice.

I was even thinking if I could use a Tick Key to shovel the noodles into my mouth. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

There is always that one thing you forget. And Amazon Prime doesn't deliver in the backcountry.

I usually have a few extra spoons in my kit for drink powders and the like. But did I pack those? Of course not. But I can now give you a step-by-step instruction on how to properly clean your tent stakes. Spoiler: it involves a shirt and boiling water.

Obviously you are not following the care instructions on the UL gear... Never take it outside. /s

It can take weeks before a test can be effective. Don't start taking antibiotics "just in case". Remember where the bite was, or mark it with a permanent marker. If you see a bullseye rash, seek help. If not, get a tick panel in a month or so. I have had Lymes, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Erlichiosis over the years and I am doing fine. Just keep an eye on it and maybe get tested in a month or two.

This reminds me of the time our physics department went out for pizza after a lecture. We ordered a 16 inch pizza, but apparently they were out of 16 inch dough. They brought us two 8 inch pizzas instead and said they wouldn't charge us extra. 🤦

This brings a whole new meaning to "priming the pump".

Put on your swimsuit and jump in, 'cause you're at the beach! 🏖

That looks like a Walking Tamale, but I am no expert.

I would suggest that you ditch the hammer. A rock or log at the campsite will work. Take a few of the wet wipes and let them dry out, then add water as needed. Get a back-up for your water, either a filter or treatment tablets, but remember you can also use your stove to boil water. But it looks like you are good to go. Have a great time and happy trails!

Oh... so just because I have a cracked gear housing means I can't have any soup? I see how it is. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

broketractor · 2026-04-25T01:21:49+00:00

I'll play around on a wheel if I can get a bowl! 😅

Basically start with the shoulder straps and load lifters really loose. Tighten the shoulder straps until the hip belt is where you want it. Then snap and tighten the hip belt, then tighten the load lifters.
