How many miles are you going to be hiking? Are you allowed to have bikes on the trail?

No bikes. Should be a mellow 26 miles.

That sounds like fun. Is that over two days.

Probably not too hard to believe, but alcohol stoves are actually illegal in California. (Yet they still sell them here) Although they Are one of the lightest options.

I’m using a BRS-3000… it’s only 27 grams, but of course uses isobutane so you gotta lug around a canister too

Freaking California. Why are they illegal?

 

[farmingfisherman]

WTF, can i ask why there illegal. im guessing its the fact that they can still be lit when thrown by dimwits fuckheads

Why would a person throw a stove?

 

[farmingfisherman]

If you knock over a pot full of boiling alcohol in the backcountry, it’s a recipe for disaster. We have enough wildfires in California without throwing makeshift Molotov cocktails all over the forests…

The things are built like a short fat person, campfires cause way more problems they a camp stove ever could.

If you’ve heard of something being stove in, that’s how it’s done.

Yeah, I agree with you, I think it’s silly that they’re outlawed as well. But if California keeps burning there won’t be much left soon

Yeah, maybe three. I dunno. If I’m going solo, I may take extra time to do a side hike to the closest peak near the trail. I figure I’ll spend 2-3 nights out there

Made the second bracket for the Toy's gas tank strap, now I just need to get the piece that will attach to it. At least it is the short piece of strap, I have 3 of 4. Found a company that re-man's the hooks that the drop down tailgate hooks to, they are pretty rare so I was happy to find them for a reasonable price.
Thawed an Ahi steak for dinner, I think I'll make me some kind of potatoes to go with it. Buds and suds in progress.

We took a half keg up to the punchbowls once, that was not such a smart idea...lol.

I’m curious how you’re going to handle perishable for four days.
