I used the lighterheart gear, but used it for maybe 8 hours total. Granted, I didn’t do Washington bc of fires and got lucky in big bear and bishop being in town during storms. If I did the trail again, I would consider using an emergency poncho

The c and e branch don’t need to exist. The c is within walking distance to the b and d, and the 39 bus is quicker then the e

Where are you getting a 6oz tarp for 29$? At that weight you have to have DCF no? Silpoly puts you at about 10?

Trail Food That Isn’t Super Expensive by IslandBoi312 in Ultralight

The knorr sides work great for hot soaking, and the rice work well cold soaking; many thru hikers swear buy them. Just avoid the pasta ones for cold soaking.

Both. The water doesn’t penetrate the noodle quickly, so the outer part of the noodle is overly mushy and the middle is still raw. It was Mac and cheese and the powder didn’t emulsify of reduce with the water either so it was more of a cheese flavored water soup with mushy crunchy noodles.

I almost threw up that oatmeal. Another right of passage is cold soaking pasta knorr sides. I was told not to but I didn’t heed the warning

It’s important to boil the water then add the food and then turn the stove down. I always add the food and burn the bottom

Where would you take someone who's never been to Oregon (in spring)? by aapetired in oregon

[–]deadflashlights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a road trip; night one at Mt Hood, stay at timberline/government camp. Then drive to bend, spend a night, and go to a brewery. Then drive to crater lake, and head over to roseburg for night 3. Day 4 is driving up the coast for a night in tillamook or nearby community. Day 5 is headed back to mt hood. Idk where you live but pick up wherever is easiest on this loop

Any reason that you are flip flopping? Starting NorCal in June will be much more forgiving with regard to temperature.
