    Backcountry nutrition...for horses/mules

    If there is plenty of grazing grass I don't see why there is a need for anything else. If you are working them extra hard a handful of gain goes a long way. Just make sure they have plenty of water. But then again, I'm not one to bubble wrap my horses.

    Too Ambitious?

    Mines 5/26 but I'm a little younger. ;) My wife handed me a wad of cash and said we are taking a weekend to go to Cabelas.... I've got a pretty good wife. I did just buy her a new car though, so I'm not sure if it's an even trade. Lol

    Medical Conditions and the backcountry

    Nothing major. Asthma, so I always keep an inhaler in the pack but never needed it. This may sound stupid but the worse medical "emergency" I had was when I forgot my acid reflux pills on a 4 day camping trip. After the second day I had heart burn so bad I was afraid to east anything and I...

    Driving from seattle to Alaska, who's done it?

    Check with your bank before you go! They suspended my account when I used it in Canada because they thought my card was stolen. Not great when you are at a gas station on E.

    Super Cat stove

    They are horrible in wind also. You will absolutely need a wind blocker, I use a section of aluminum foil folded up. They work, I'll give you that. But I prefer my Jetboil, even if it weighs more.

    GEAR LIST: Bowhunting Colorado's Wilderness Areas.... help me out

    Camo headlamps and flashlights are great... Until you sit them down somewhere. Camo knives and cell phones are another one. Don't ask me how I know.

    New Mountain House

    http://www.greenbelly.co/ I haven't tried these either but they look like they would be good. Lots of carbs for lots of energy. And I just noticed they are all sold out...

    New Mountain House

    I haven't tried these but a lot of guys on the backpacking forums seem to like them. They are expensive but are for people on the Paleo diet. http://paleomealstogo.com/shop/

    Horses??

    I'm pretty familiar with horses in general but have never used a pack horse. I've ridden many others people's horses and that has convinced me I would never take someone else's horse that I'm not familiar with in the back country.

    Ford Diesel Trucks

    Get one with the new 6.7 liter twin turbo. We run those in our ambulances and they are beasts! We have had very little issues with them so far, granted our oldest one is a 2012, And they get beat on like a rented mule.

    Sleeping bags

    I've never owned one, just tried a few at the store. The ones I tried were pretty roomy, I could put my knees up to my chest and not feel too confined.

    Sleeping bags

    Look at Nemo bags. They are made a little different than standard bags.

    If I had the time, I'd love to hike the PCT, but maybe not in the winter though. Summer of 2016 in doing the JMT, it was hard enough to get a month off of work, let along 6 months.
