Bought this Backpacker’s Pantry breakfast around 1992. No expiration date on the back. Keep or toss? https://ift.tt/jW5iVM4

Took the advice from the last #N2Backpacking podcast and made another step toward ultralight. Just picked up this 1 pound quilt this afternoon and I’m ready for some spring #backpacking! https://ift.tt/gDx2Wjt

End of an era! The old Rock Gap shelter near Franklin North Carolina is no more. Scott, a.k.a. Brownie was nearly taken out here by a falling tree limb after 12 inches of snow hammered us in a major storm in 2010. Great memories. Shelter was a savior that night. Thanks to all the #AppalachianTrail maintainers for the upgrade. https://ift.tt/fFkNXRc
