All is silent in Six Gun City......we are doing good......a bit tender but we'll continue over northern pressies to Barnes tomorrow.....pack should be lighter tomorrow theoretically.....MEB is a tough hiker....back to sleep now.....

Southern Day......Isolation, Washington, Monroe, Ike, Pierce and Jackson (maybe...if not staying at Mizpah tentsite for the night). Not sure if making it to Ethan Pond this day.

I'm a flat lace type of a guy.......

No minikegs.......might sneak in a disco ball still....;)

The thing is that those weights are with water so as the bladder goes dry the pack decreases in weight......I have a 6-liter MSR bladder plus a 1-liter bottle.....keeping the powder mixes in the bottle and clean water in the bladder. Otherwise the bladder goes kind of nasty as the days goes by...

MEB and I are giving it a shot starting tomorrow morning with Mt. Cabot over Kilkenny Ridge to route 2 the first day. The second day we will do the Northern Pressies and stay at Barnes Field for the night. We will have a tracking device so you guys can see where we are...

I agree with Gillian....Sept. 19th...........another option is October 9-11 since some people have the 12th as a holiday.......

Awesome Farmer! Great great stuff! Talent and hard work goes a long way.....unreal! It was all because of the training we did the previous weekend I'm sure :D

Maybe sewing something like a body suit with built-in AC......this guy is up to something....he's into transparent bikes but also bodysuits: You can have solar cells powering it during the hot days.......and you can also set the humidity level you prefer.....just need to make it able to handle...

I like to see someone finishing the NH Winter 48-SEX Or the NH 48 Sex Grid...... Can always warm up with doing the Snuggle 48 or Snuggle Grid ( I think getting to 2nd base would suffice).....

Fortunate indeed to be part of a portion of this adventure.......there is a lot more great stuff to say about MEB and great people on the trail but it's late.......

You sure Tim Seaver wasn't along? Nice, nice.......a picture says more a thousand words......

The amount you lose through respiration depends a lot on how dry or humid the air is you breath in......out west I need to drink a lot more since often very dry.......the 2.75 gallons I measured was during a hike when it was very damp and foggy in the air (overnight)......I constantly have to...

I'm coming over with a party of five......looking forward to it!

I filled up my 4-liter MSR bladder twice on the trail plus had it quarter full when started..... and then drank about half liter when returning to get re-hydrated....and was able to pee again in somewhat normal color. Didn't bring scale.......of the pemi-loops I've done this seems to be about...

I usually bring a couple of bananas along also......and magnesium tablets....and endurolytes....and kelp.....I also think that miso soup with some good sea weed in it would be good to counter the sweating.....haven't tested that yet though.....gotta love testing stuff out ;)

The headband I'm wearing gets filled up about every 30 minutes so I have to squeeze out many times before coming back to the TH. And that's just the sweat above the eye level.....on a pemi-loop if it's a cool day I sweat at least 2.5 gallons.........did about 2.75 when I did the last one...

Sweat in the eyes is taken care of by a headband.....so that's not a biggie.... Long Pant thread is about scrapes and bugs etc.... What I'm talking about is sweat flowing down your legs and soaks up your shoes.....probably the best way is to cut off a headband and attach velcro to it so that...

One of the biggest problems I've encountered along the trail is the large amount of sweating I seem to produce. Even on a dry cool day wearing shorts the shorts starts to get drenched pretty fast and then the sweat continues down my legs and into my socks and shoes. Wearing a backpack makes...

Will miss my son Giggy on my site......but a wise man he is..... ;)
