Anyone else with favorite trail nibbles????

Thanks for the help with the pics. As you can see, the only change in terrain is below the water table (the hammocks are where the trees are). I am REALLY hoping to go back to the mountains this summer. Pudding recipe: 1 3oz package chocolate pudding 2/3 cup powdered milk 1/4 cup mini marshmallows Place this in a zip lock…

attempting to link to pictures, but did not go well. Has anybody used Picasa before? Or is it worth the Photobucket account? https://picasaweb.google.com/110431628481037966267/KissimmeePrairie?authkey=Gv1sRgCL6RhMzam9DbIA#5692801503745072066

I've been doing this for 15 years now, my husband and oldest son are Eagle Scouts, my youngest is working on his Eagle Project and last two merit badges. I was just curious what your favorite meal, trail comfort food is. I mix a package of pudding with powdered milk, add water, and have chocolate pudding on the trail. It's…

I grew up on red beans and rice that my mom always used the hock to make. This year I'm replacing the kidney beans with lentils. If your interersted I will send the recipe.

It's a 2 1/2 mile hike from the parking lot to the base camp and the area is so remote we don't even have cell phone coverage out there. The other main issue is water. We only have what we can hike in or we have to treat what we can find (the last time that happened it looked like tea AFTER being treated). I will try and…

I hail from sunny south Florida (trying to figure out pics also) Most of our hiking is relatively flat and "squishy". Squishy is wet areas that can range from muddy to mid-thigh. I love the mountains and we try to go up to the Blue Ridge and Appalachians about every other year. My profile pic is actually on Grandfather Mtn…

Shoes: Timberland/ Teva water shoes/ leather moccasins Socks: Wigwam Pants: Columbia convertable Shirts:50/50 blend t-shirts Underneath it all: Underarmour, it wicks away the sweat and keeps the pack from "biting" me. Hiking in Florida presents many challenges, including lots of water and "squishy" conditions. I NEVER hike…

I wear make-up everyday when I go to school, and sometimes to the rifle range. I don't always manage the time to keep the lipstick on. I teach middle school and it's funny to hear the girl's comments about it. I prefer MAC cosmetics because they actually stay on all day, the eye makeup especially. When I go hiking, camping…

According to a recent article my husband was telling me about, you should NOT take vitamins at night. I usually take a multi-pack and split it; half at breakfast, the other half mid-afternoon.

Frozen is the next best thing to fresh and always better than canned.

I totally agree with the lazy comment, and that comes from my experience in dealing with teenagers. I had a student for two years who is morbidly obese (she honestly COULD NOT walk across my classroom without getting out of breath).. She would ask her "friends" for their food at breakfast and lunch and they would give it…

You know that was also the liscence plate number on Harrison Ford's car in American Graffitti AND the title for Lucas' first movie? Just some more totally useless trivia!

SW and LOTR are the best!!!!! Currently writing a crossover fanfic between both.

My hiking pack will come in at 35-40 lbs depending on water and length of the trip. Having done my fair share of both types of lugging things around, I would just log it in as cross country hiking. It's close enough! :happy:

Granted, in today's modern Western society, this seems strange, and to me it is. However, not too recently here in America, it was NOT unusual for girls to marry very young for several reasons. These same reasons hold in some non-western and third world countries as well. First of all, if you look at the average life…

I'm 5'8" with a medium frame and stay pretty consistent at 140. I would love to be back at 130-135, but happy enough with where I am.

I don't think there is ANYTHING in my kitchen that I can't live without, including my iron skillet and dutch oven that I even take camping with me.

The concern with the freezer bags is that carcinogenic chemicals are released when the plastic is heated. We personally have a jet boil, the troop uses pocket rockets for their food. A food saver is also a thought. Any recipes would also be welcome. We are a new troop, 1 year this September, but we have VERY adventerous…

LOVE IT!!!!!

Does it HAVE to be an e-reader? What about us die hard "real bookies"? Re-reading The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Currently on "Fool Moon"

Local farmer's market or coop. If not fresh, frozen veggies and fruits are a next best option.

Wanting to section hike the Appalachian Trail starting next summer. Bucket list includes hiking and photographing Yosemite backcountry and maybe some trails in the Rockies and Grand Canyon. I live at sea level, so getting ready is a BIG concern. My husband and youngest son did a trail in Tennessee a couple of weeks ago…

Isn't amazing how the body adjusts to the good stuff and refuses the bad stuff? Probably one of the most "creative" ways of giving yourself a reality break. :ohwell: Glad your feeling better! BTW, is your pic from a zip line tour? Looks like it was a lot of fun!

terrifying was more like it. Just pulled my hat down and rowed for dear life! THAT is exactly why I workout, I want the strength and endurance to get out of the crazy situations I sometimes find myself in!

My husband replaced two meals a day, along with exercise, and dropped 5 lbs in one week. So yes, it will jump start the weight loss, but not a long term thing. We use it mainly on mornings when we work out and don't feel like eating a big breakfast. Like I said, I mix it with a scoop of protein powder in 12 oz of water for…

Give this article a try, it has some great ideas and advice. You might want to read some of the other articles here also. http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/nutrition-101/nutrition-questions-tips-00412000071626/?iid=newsletter-ck-070611&PromKey=XET

Crazy story behind mine. We had been doing P90x during the summer (about 5 weeks into the program). A friend asked us if we would like to go kayaking with her and her husband, and of course we said yes. We started off just fine and made the midway point by lunch time. As we hit the water again, we heard the thunder…

The best at what I try to do! and a bulldog!

Now that's what I call hiking.... wait, wouldn't that be hunting? :tongue: I know some people like that!
