    How do you prefer to sleep when backpacking?

    How Many Overnight Trips Have You Done?

    What's the longest trail you've hiked?

    Round Top Mountain 3.5 mile trail, Jasper Ark. had a bomber crash into it during WWII. Round top is a tall knoll off by itself and the pilot didn't see it due to fog. Killed all on board.

    Backpacking Stephens Arch, Utah

    Stephen's Arch, Escalante Utah, span is 220 ft wide, 14th largest in the world. I hiked underneath it on part of a two day 27 mile backpack trip. Had to climb that cliff on the right to get to it. You can see on my pack the white rope, water shoes etc. We had to drop down a 250 ft cliff...

    Best Thing You Ate vs. Worst Thing You Ate?

    yes cold oats. It didn't help no matter how many raisins I added.:confused: I thought about making powdered milk and using vs. the water I was told to use. But, haven't dared.

    Kitchen Gear

    Very efficient. At Philmont, the New Mexico High Adventure camp, When you backpack, as part of leave no trace, When you clean out your dishes you have to drink water you just use to clean you pot!!! A little too extreme for me:)
