| GEAR |
|
|
We just got our fourth Bibler tent. In 2007 we are
carrying their Hi Light tent. |
 |
ULA produces top notch, lightweight backpacks. The
non-thruhiking community is discovering Brian's
backpacks as evidenced by Backpacker Magazine's
awards. |
 |
We
each used the 14 ounce G4 backpack from GVP Gear on our CDT
& AT hikes. Then
we switched to their newer Mariposa backpack for the ADT. These packs are
fragile and not for everyone, but they are lightweight. |

of time and money here. |

Snow
Peak's Giga Power stove was recommended to us 2 weeks before we left our first
PCT hike. We liked
the small size and ease of use so much we decided to go with it.
|
| FOOD |
|
 |
One
of our favorite sources of dried vegetables and fruits. |
 |
Mary Jane's Farm has become a source of dried
foods. We especially like their corn salsa. |
 |
Quaker
bars have become a staple for our trail
snacks.
