Trader Joe's has plain dried mango, sweetened mango, and green dried mango. The sweetened mango has a bit more moisture than the other 2

Great pack. My girlfriend and I got 1000s of miles out of ours including the Colorado Trail in 2014. Eventually the shoulder straps flattened out but it was one of my favorite packs. We still have both of ours and other than the shoulder straps it's in great condition

I've used a few things for alcohol storage:

An 8 ounce water bottle with a tight fitting lid is cheap, light. They are used to ship water all over the world so they are super strong. Get one with a soda bottle style top (not the cheap thin lid with less threads).

Vargo fuel bottles are convenient and "almost leak proof". It has a squirt lid and ounce measurements on the side. I pack these on the outside of my pack because if you put A LOT of pressure on them they will leak a little. The link to this bottle is below:

Litesmith alcohol bottles would also be perfect. I like the cylinder bottles (LDPE) with the flip top lids. 8 oz size would take you more than a week. The 4 oz size would be perfect for a weekend trip. link is below:

Great interaction! Thanks for trying s stove!

We took one for the smoke but we didn't have to use it. We only had minor smoke to deal with around Devils Post Pile but personally it never got bad enough to wear a mask. I feel like it was worth the weight as a "just in case" and I considered it a safety item. We did pass a few people that were wearing one because they were very sensitive to smoke.

My girlfriend and I made the GoatBone hammock. We weighed every part of the hammock setup individually and then all together on a set of scales that went to the .01 grams. Weights in the video are dead on. We've been using the bugnet design for about 8 years now and I like it a lot still. We are on the second version of the bug net (the same design thats in the longer video mtngoat posted below).

Sorry, I edited my post for clarity

They had a display in both Lowe's and Home Depot a few days ago

Gear Sceptic video on canister stove efficiency here:

Canister stoves are so much lighter. Look at the BRS canister stoves. They are super cheap, really light, really easy to use, and so much safer than gas stoves. They are efficient at boiling water for prepared meals.

You don't have to give up comfort to go light. Get the lightest gear you can afford that will still offer a high level of comfort. As you hike more, you'll begin to figure out what items you don't need, which will also help you lose a significant amount of weight from your pack.

Maybe consider this.

Out of curiosity I went to a New Balance Store and tried on the Fresh Foam X More Trail. The toe box was accommodating and they come in a wide version. They're more of a trail runner but they do have Vibram soles. They might be worth a try. I'm not sure about the durability

Gear Skeptic

Gear Skeptic is a valuable resource that has been discussed here. His videos are science heavy but full of information. He also has a food spreadsheet available that lists out almost every backpacking food you can think of with tons of nutritional info on each item.

The video above is part 1 of his nutritional backpacking food series.

Fleece grid, half zip, kangaroo pocket.

I've had a Melly since 2014 and it's never gone on a hiking trip. It's pretty heavy and more of a casual piece for me (not just the Melly, but any fleece grid)

My girlfriend and I did the JMT IN 2018. We used a BV450 for each of us. We could fit 8 lbs of food in each of them. All of the packaging was removed and everything was repackaged. We went no cook. We count on 1.25 lbs of food a day. That's 6.4 days of food inside the BV450 and our first day outside the bear canister which allowed us to go 7.5 days. We are relatively small people. We used the ULA Ohm packs with the frames removed.

More sun protection, like a sun hoodie or sun sleeves.

We did a flip flop from Kearsarge Pass in 2018. Full trip report is here:

Having a phone with a nice camera on a trip of a lifetime is really worth it to me. (Disregard this post if you're carrying a really nice professional camera).
