Outdoor adventures and ponderings on food, gear and nature. Friday, May 3, 2013. A Bump in the Lightweight Road. Not just for camping. Last summer I used an Esbit stove on a weeklong trip through the Wind Rivers. The Esbit Folding Stove. After all, each trip I take is an evolution of my gear weight-loss program. I’ve been consciously dialing down my pack weight ever since I volunteered to take part in a lightweight gear article in a magazine published by the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). Lady on a Rock.

"You mean the foot of snow predicted to fall in Torla tomorrow? Ya I saw that." I replied.

Outdoor adventures and ponderings on food, gear and nature. Sunday, May 31, 2015. The Pemigewasset Wilderness from Mt. Lafayette. Trip route and elevation (milage is a bit off). This hike was partly a prep hike for a Presidential Traverse Day Hike in 3 weeks time, as well as little trainer for a 50 mi bike ride the following week. It seemed like the perfect way to train for both adventures! Ladders Up Flume, not bike-able:). View of Cannon Cliff from Liberty. Franconia Ridge Trail - Mt Liberty. The ride ...

Outdoor adventures and ponderings on food, gear and nature. Friday, June 21, 2013. First-time Fry-Baking, thermometer on top.

It's not that lightweight of a way to cook, as you need to bring the pan, cover, liquid fuel and assorted ingredients. but we discovered it's well worth it! How did we land on this idea? And Outback Oven Ultralight Set.

It's also a big enough area that one can explore for 5-6 days easily, extending my total vacation time to 9 days.
