'Every gram counts' might be a future episode title. Callous removal is a great tip! :)

I should try that one!

One day....

I found an old picture of the guy who did it. I wish I had a pic of the jugs.

In saying that what you're really saying is "I believe in the links Derek checks out provided by Carl and all of the other junk he makes up to fill in the gaps." :)

@@BackpackingandBlisters 🤣

I can...depending on the pack. When I can't I either have a buddy grab it or I just swing my pack around. I'd rather have that than the jingle jangles.

He thanks you. I'll pass it along!

@ Ben was a great co host, as well!

@@103kspencer Thanks! I'll pass that along as well!

Thanks for checking it out!

I've heard the first part. The second part is next level!

Hot Water in the Nalgene bottle is the reason I just can't ditch it. Climbing into a Pre-Heated sleeping bag on a chilly night is amazing, and all the smart water bottle users are missing out!

@@dexionsgamingcorner310 My wife is the same way.

The crotch pot is a legend. But good fuel savings hack here!

I typically only bring 3 wipes. So not sure it's worth the effort. If I brought a ton, like Ben. This would be gold.

Thanks! I'll pass this along!

Good call. I just don't bring enough for this to be an issue. Ben probably does though. :)

Oh I bring enough water 🤣

Agreed!

At least you avoided the dots. :)

If you freeze water with a cup of air at lower altitudes it will boil faster at higher altitudes

Thanks for your patience with Derek.

The heavier ones...in my opinion.

As many B & B people know, I bring summer a sausage and eat it whole. He seemed to disparage the idea of doing so. This makes me wonder: does the man have ideas for making a variety of meals out of summer sausage? I must find out!

He should.

I bet he does.

Thank you so much!

​@@BackpackingandBlisters was another great question 😅

Thanks Meg! Let us know how you like them!

You have a strength and motivation I will never know. :)

@BackpackingandBlisters being in Denali national park was all the motivation I needed! As an only winter camper, it is what it is lol

I've done a bit of that. It's a lot of prep and planning but definitely worth it if you have the time. Love the taters idea!

Thanks David!!!

If you're doing 20 miles a day, then like I said on the show, this is not for you. This would be for a sub-10 mile day for me. :)

@ yeah I know but I love a good home cooked Meal. Headed to back country cam at Grand Canyon in a few weeks so I’ll think I’ll try it then. Thanks for all the tips!!

@@obristimagery Let us know how it goes!

I believe in you. We have recipes for every style of trip. I've done some long hard day and having a meal that you're excited for can really help push you through and refuel for the day ahead. We have many recipes that cook up in the same time as a packaged meal, while still being mindful of pack weight/volume. I welcome you to search our recipe bank for something that can work for your trips.

@@BackpackingandBlisters Totally!

Correct!

That's really nice of you to ask. We appreciate anybody and everybody for tuning in. But, if we had to pick, audio all the way!

@BackpackingandBlisters sounds good, I'll just keep doing what I've been doing. Found you guys after the First Fourty Miles shut down. My audio feed did stop updating awhike back and had to search and subscribe to a newer feed? If that was due to something you did, you might give the old feed viewers a heads up. Not sure what that was about!

@@Berry_N Thanks for the heads up. No, there was nothing I did no my end. But I'll look into it for sure. Which pod platform are you on?

@BackpackingandBlisters Okay, now I'm embarrassed. I searched and it looks like that happened in summer 2023, not 2024. Where did the last year go? If it's still relevant, I use Antenna Pod, not sure about anything else, but when I search for you guys, one feed comes up that stops in July 2023, and there's another feed that seems to have everything you currently have public.

@BackpackingandBlisters looked further, the feed that stops is on atthecampsite, but if I post the link, YT will probably delete this.

No

Really? Wait, who is this? :)

⁠@@BackpackingandBlisters Yes he really does. Our neighbor told him about it and it’s the one Rocky uses now. This is Jennifer. I need to change my you tube name and photo. Long story!

I would love to see that! :)

I think it could be fun! Try something you normally don't!

Not mine. :)

Merry Christmas to you as well!

Welcome to the B&B Family! We have a lot of folks that listen in and haven't started backpacking yet. And thanks for the encouragement about the Bible verses! I hope you have a blessed Christmas season!

What inspired sharing this verse? Timing on this for me personally was awesome!

@BackpackingandBlisters probably the Holy Spirit if it was good timing 😉 I feel it's a great scripture to encourage yourself and myself and others to preserve in the place God has positioned us in season and out on trail and off trail 👣

Man, you were great! I wish we had you on sooner. Definitely going to circle back. :)

I'm a little more needy. I don't like going solo. :)

Good tip about the food. 😄 I taught in Australia for a year and visited Tassie. Loved it. I want to go back. Trying to convince my family.

@BackpackingandBlisters hit me up for a hike that's for sure....the land down under never lets people down 😜 esp Tassie we are the best 💪👍🍻 hope to see you one day

Australia has some obvious improvements - not just backpacking food - over the US.

You’re right! I forgot about that. Extra chore I don’t want. 😄

Agreed.

Love it! I could see that sold online in the future for $20. :)

Yes. Great catch! He caught himself after we recorded. Not sure how he got the two confused. I might bring that up. :)

Sure did! When you record late at night and type towel instead of trowel and then can't find the link you looked at. 😂😂

Yeah, I might try a couple of these out. :)

If only...:)

Thank you so much sir! We'll have to have you on as the expert next time we have an episode like this!

@BackpackingandBlisters You are too kind, Carl. Your episodes have been top notch. It really shows how much work you put in to it!

@@WallowaHikes No, you are too kind. :)

Not sure hunting is allowed on that campus.

Correct! :)

Thanks!

:) I just wiped my shoes off in Derek's car.

:)

Thanks so much!
