I discovered if you hike in the rain the mosquitos leave you pretty much alone. shouldn't have trouble finding some rain to hike in in the pasific north west

Just wondering if it would be worth it to bring skiis to the top of Baker via Coleman Demming? Anybody done any skiing up their lately? Is it still "skiiable"?

Coleman Demming

I will! but you don't happen to live in Vancouver do you

Anyone want to do baker in a day wed 31? Prefer to take skis but will also hike. Must have a car and live in the Vancouver area so you can drive me . Will pay for gas and maybe even

Use a prussik knot and coil the rope in your backpack so it comes out evenly as you climb. You can even fall upside down

If high altitude makes some people not want to eat, would the munchies effect of smoking pot make you hungry again ;anybody tried it?

Does a party still have to have 4 members to be allowed a permit? the parks website just says it is "recamended but I have heard that it is mandatory.

Now I can't wait to get out and trundle some shit

Experience is over rated

Where is TBD

I only took 2 classes in my second semester of grade 12 so I could take 2 weeks off to ski the monarch icefields and not have to make up a lot of missed work. Mountains own me !

Blanshard Peak (Blanshard Needle) Height: 1560 m (5118 ft) British Columbia is its own mountain.

WTF

what the hell! this is the second time it shows up as a double reply

It looks like there are two or three recipes' ingredients in one paragraph. If sloth or anybody else wants those recipies in a format that is easier to read i can e-mail then to you in a word document. When i tried to copy and paste they got messed up. PM me

would wearing a hemet slow them down or would it not look cool

I wish I could claim those recipies as my own but I got them courtesy of Martin Berka.

Here are the recipes and some comments. They are all one pot meals, although the leek and potato requires a little care unless you have a good sized pot. For that one, keep the potato flakes in a separate bag inside the meal packet, rehydrate the rest of the ingredients in plenty of water, and add the potato flakes at the last. In general, you simply add the ingredients to a pot, add water, heat it up, and eat when things are cooked through. Usually (depending on altitude and temperature, and to some extent on the meal) ready in 10-15 minutes. Use *small* pasta shells or small macaroni, something like that. All are 2 person quantities designed for one big appetite (me) plus one small (Dania, my girlfriend). Adjust to suit. I dry my own peas and sweetcorn from frozen – the rest I managed to get already dried. Here’s how – from frozen you dip the peas or sweetcorn in boiling water for 1 minute, dry off as much as you can gently by hand (paper towels work reasonably well) and lay out on a tray in an oven on lowest heat with the door slightly open for ventilation. Peas reduce to about 25% of frozen weight, sweetcorn to about 20%. So long as you get them down to that dry they will keep for many, many months. Otherwise you risk mould in the packets. Sweetcorn rehydrates much better than peas, and the latter can be a bit chewy when the rest of the meal has cooked through. Some of the ingredients (all weights listed are dried weights t=teaspoon, T=tablespoon) are hard to get hold of – I got my stuff from “Famous Foods” in Vancouver. Try bulk food places. Barley takes a little longer to cook than rice (Chilli and Tomato-Barley-Mo – don’t ask about the name), so you might consider replacing it with all rice. The dehydrated cheese I use is not the Kraft “glow in the dark” stuff – use that only if you really can’t get any decent stuff. Keep cheese separate from the main meal in a small packet inside the meal packet, and add it to the pot at the last minute. Use sealable freezer bags. The red lentil meals take longer than the others, depending on how digestible you want them. Remember that most of these meals, as a dehydrated vegetarian protein source, use textured soya protein (TSP) (sometimes called TVP) granules. Soya, like lentils, is a pulse, and inevitably causes a fair amount of gas through digestion – it’s harmless, but be warned! Enjoy!
