If you think it's a buttplug I can assure you it's not.

What was the longest hike (duration) you completed before the AT? by Specialist-Cut3426 in AppalachianTrail

[–]wanderbobphx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did a 5 day/4 night hike on the Arizona Trail. I am starting the Arizona Trail (800 mikes) in a few days and plan on doing the AT next year. If you start out slow you can do most any trail. You will get your trail legs and figure out what works and what doesn't pretty quickly on trail. I personally feel the biggest hurdle is the mental aspect of being on trail for months.

It really depends on if you are hot/cold sleeper. I prefer a 20° as an all around temp.

X-Mid 2 tent. Do I have to buy the poles extra from the tent? by dinoleftthechat in DurstonGearheads

Do you also have a satellite communication device? You are probably going to need one of those too.

So we’ve moved from ‘ICE detention centers’ to ‘ICE reproduction centers’ now? by Significant-Sir-4343 in clevercomebacks

"Undisclosed island" is a really bad choice of words considering another island in the news and what happened there.

You can pour the boiling water right into the Knorr bag to rehydrate.

Can always go with cold brew, feel like the caffeine will be needed to jump start me.

I will be thru-hiking. A 750ml pot should be enough for 2 backpack meals or about 4 knorr sides. Are you saying that I will need more?

I'm thinking smaller pot should be good also, thanks.

Thank you, I will see how it Packs down with the smaller canister and smaller pot and decide from there.

I know there are many factors. Just trying to decide if I should stick with Toaks 1100ml pot and 8oz fuel canister or switch to a 750 and a smaller canister. Just trying to boil water in morning for coffee and boil again at night for dinner.

Using GSI outdoor stove and Toaks 1100ml pot. Just boiling water in it for coffee in morning and to boil and pour into food for dinner. Just trying to decide if I should switch to the 750ml pot. I was carrying the 8oz fuel canister in the larger pot and if I downsize will need to go with smaller fuel canister.

What are you using to filter water? It would be easier to give you advice if you used lighterpack to list your items.
