    October CF bottoms for women - suggestions appreciated!

    It does get cold in the early mornings in October but during the day it’s nice. You could wear hiking pants with the leggings underneath for the early mornings and then she’d the pants as the day warms up.

    Squeaky shoe syndrome

    I get squeaks sometimes when using inserts in my shoes. A little talcum powder takes care of it. If you're not using inserts then it probably is the shank inside the shoe and you can't do anything about it. It will eventually wear itself out.

    Wide Hips - Backpack for Women

    Go to your nearest REI or other outdoor store and try different packs (which it looks like you have already done). I love the Osprey packs but they just don't fit me quite like I would like. I ended up with a Deuter 40 + 10 (is now a 45 + 10). The hip belt fit better and the shoulder straps...

    How did you carry your water?

    I recently bought one of these. I haven't received it yet so I don't know how they work but they look like a great idea and everyone who has bought one really likes them.

    How did you carry your water?

    I drink a lot of water because I sweat a lot. I used two 1 liter collapseable bottles, filled up every chance I got and almost ran out along the meseta.

    Sole Survivor

    You may have supinated feet which causes your feet to roll to the outside (lateral) side when you walk. I would recommend that you see a podiatrist or try insoles like Superfeet. When using insoles for the first time only use for 1-2 hrs at a time and add more time each day until you can wear...

    21 days equipment checkout

    I can't believe you can get all that stuff into a 36 liter bag!

    Hanging things off of pack

    I guess that's why I've decided to take 3 pair instead of just two. I would be in a awful fix if I lost one if I only take 2!!

    Disappointed with my hiking shoes

    I have both Merrell Moab Gortex and Keen Targhee II mid (Gortex) and I find the Merrells are much warmer than the Keens. But I also fine that the Merrells feel like they have better cushioning than the Keens. The Keens have more toe room; my toes were starting to get tight with Merrells after...
