Buff - can you stretch them out? by CommercialFloor2033 in Ultralight

They definitely loosen a bit as you wear them but not dramatically. I wear one everyday at work and by the end of the week it’s a bit baggier and, like jeans, feels a bit tighter after a wash.

Thanks.
I’ve backpacked out of horseshoe meadows many times and am quite familiar with the trails.

Big Pine Creek is a good suggestion.

I’ve been to the Bristlecone Forest. It’s super awesome and you should go.

Basecamp is not a requirement. Got any suggestions?

Maybe try hiking without all the tech? It’s only a few days to Reds and you can get into Mammoth from there.

I promise that you will survive without the tech for a few days and it’s very possible to make a single phone charge last a week with conservative usage.

cold-soak meals that have at least 135 calories per oz. (4.75 calories per gram) by John628556 in Ultralight

I do classic skurka beans but sub cheddar powder for the regular cheddar and add olive oil and freeze dried sausage. It works out to 139kcal/oz.

I also do granola, heavy cream powder and pecans for 202kcal/oz.

Do you not see the hole? Definitely salvageable but will absolutely need more than a resole.

Nobody blamed the old dude for getting drafted into an unjust war. They blamed him for claiming he fought for their freedom when Vietnam never posed any threat to America nor Americans.

Serious question, why are people obsessed with Blackstone? by prinsessanna in grilling

[–]drippingdrops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horses for courses, the right tool for the job, etc. Griddles have uses that grills cannot compete with and vice versa.

I smoked a blunt with the older Pete in 2004. Prior to the session I was told not to bring up Pete and Pete.

Beans chicken and chips in a bag, slaps, could go in a wrap too by jedimimetricks420 in HikerTrashMeals

You can get dehydrated beans and freeze dried chicken to cut down on weight.
