    Latest version of my perfect poncho/tarp shelter

    With some really decent shelters in the 11-12oz range-Plex Solo Lite. I would rather have a full shelter and separate rain gear.

    Shoulder strap water bottle holders?

    JustinsUL Water bottle straps. Been using them for many years. They don't swing or slosh around and fit 700 and 1L Smart water bottles. With sport caps it's the easiest water carry/drinking system. Bottle Holder

    Water Purification

    If it's that cold it's all frozen, boiling is the only option.

    Sawyer Squeeze bags

    Cnoc Vecto in whatever size you want-2L is easiest to handle. Tip. Get some generic denture tabs, fill new Cnoc bag to the too with tap water, add 2 tabs for 2L size. Leave overnight in the sink, rinse well. Gets rid of all the TPU taste that these bags produce when new. The denture tabs work...

    Water Purification

    I know some people that love Steripens. Not knocking their effectiveness, just not for me. It is nice not having to worry about them freezing-biggest PITA with analog filters.

    Water Purification

    I don't like Steripens for the simple reason they are electronic and can fail. I like analog filters. BeFree, Sawyer Squeeze. Some like Platypus Quickdraw and in clean water-low animal traffic it's probably fine, but the Sawyer is much more effective in filtering bacteria and most importantly...

    HPG Kit Bag-Sweat and Stink?

    Got a HPG runners kit bag. Love it. Issue is I sweat like crazy and I can't get more than 2 days before it stinks pretty good. Any treatments or anything I can do to not have to wash it every other use?

    What 10mm ammo for bear defense (griz)

    Any preferred hard cast brands that are most reliable in regards to feeding and ejecting? I have seen some people having issues with Underwood.

    Idaho Grizzly range?

    Do you ever do anything south of the 90? I have done quite a few miles just south of 90 from lake CDA to Mullan and have not seen any sign of black or grizzly.

    Idaho Grizzly range?

    Damn. I have to re-evaluate where I assumed they were. Always thought it was sort of north of Sandpoint and the 200.

    Idaho Grizzly range?

    Damn, that's crazy. Glad it worked out. That's a massive adrenaline dump. How far south of Lake Pend Oreille was this?

    Idaho Grizzly range?

    Can you elaborate on this encounter?

    Dyneema clothing?

    Too noisy, expensive and punctures easily. Silnylon/Silpoly would be nearly as light, much more comfortable.

    16/8 Intermittent Fasting

    After a lifetime of roller coaster blood sugar levels, high carb diet was not for me. Regardless of the source-organic, whole grain, made from scratch, etc.-I did it all-they did no do my body well. It wasn't until I limited the carbs to under 50g or so that the blood sugar leveled out, I lost...

    16/8 Intermittent Fasting

    I would see in what eating window you could consume your calorie requirement without distress and go from there. Meat tends to take longer to leave my stomach and I found when eating much more than I do now, I couldn't eat enough calories in that window do to being so full from a big steak.

    16/8 Intermittent Fasting

    As a life long peanut addict, you are right. I have eaten all kinds of peanut butter from the junkiest generic brands to high end organic freshly ground. I wish I could say I prefer the organic peanuts only butter, but I don't. It's just too bland for me. 90% of my diet is what I would call very...

    16/8 Intermittent Fasting

    Low carb, high fat. I usually consume less than 40g of carbs a day. On days with long hikes, could be 50g. I have not counted precisely how many calories, but it's enough to maintain my weight and honestly about all I could stomach eating. It prob. 2,500-3,000 cal or so. If you are not fat...

    Any way you all found to get the rubber taste out of water bladder

    What particular bladder? The material matters. PU material is the worst offender. I have had good luck with soaking bladder, bag with 2 generic denture cleaning tablets/Liter capacity, overnight. Rinse well and see if that clears the taste-repeat as needed.

    16/8 Intermittent Fasting

    I have been doing 22/2 intermittent fast(M-F, 12/12 Sat-Sun) along with LCHF for 7 years. I dropped 64lbs over a few years and it's really been life changing. I never feel better than when fasting. That being said I worked up to 24/2. Started just pushing how long I would go without eating each...
