My Locale Colorado Rockies
About Me I'm 45 years old, 6'4" and 195 lbs. I've backpacked in the Colorado Rockies, the Wasatch and Uinta mountains, and in Zions National Park. I mountain bike in the Colorado Rockies. I've kayaked in Yellowstone and on Flaming Gorge, and rafted the Green, Colorado and Snake rivers. My trips are usually a week long or less. I love to hike wherever I can. I'm an Assistant Scout Master and I'm often out with the Scouts. My immediate goal is to thru-hike the Colorado trail. I've lived in Utah, Ohio, Illinois, Argentina, California, and Colorado.

Re: non-cook hiking
Frank, I am not sure if I understand how you are preparing the oats. Are you soaking them in water like the other grains you mentioned? Do you add powdered milk, sugar, or anything else?

Re: Re: List for Santa Cruz Mountain winter trip
On the cost of wool. It does cost more up front. I have found that it lasts longer and is more functional than other choices which makes it worth it for me. I wear Smartwool socks and Ibex wool bri...

Re: UL Hammocking in cold
Before you do anything, check out the No Snivler at Jacks 'R' Better. They are made to fit the hammock and the service and quality are top notch. I think being able to use it as a down poncho aro...

I lived in Gilroy ( south of San Jose ) about 7 years ago when the effects of El Niño were particularly bad. Houses were sliding down the hills. I am personally very fond of wool, it is very...
