Recipe: Trail Coconut Peanut Noodles

hikinghammonds April 23, 2019

Ramen is a thru-hiker staple, and people get pretty creative trying to dress up their noodles.  One common trick is to add peanut butter.  It’s tasty and really beefs up the calories.  Piñata and I also add powdered coconut milk …

In the News and On the Books

hikinghammonds April 20, 2019

It’s been a busy month around here!  Piñata and I were written up in the local newspaper.  You can check the article out here.    I also continue to write for The Trek, and I recently wrote a comprehensive financial …

Recipes: Caloric Coffee Drinks

hikinghammonds April 17, 2019

I love my coffee in the morning, but I don’t like heating water in the morning when I’m on the trail (unless it’s very cold out).  I also don’t always like eating very first thing, but I know I need …

Gear Review: Olympus Tough Gear TG-4 Camera

hikinghammonds March 22, 2019

I don't remember meeting anyone else who carried a point and shoot style camera on the trail.  But, using the phone only has a lot of drawbacks, particularly in bad weather.  So, without further ado, here are our thoughts on …

Gear Review: Gossamer Gear Kumo 36

hikinghammonds March 9, 2019

Most ultralight backpacks are very minimal: main compartment, 3 external pockets, maybe a hip belt.  The Gossamer Gear Kumo 36, on the other hand, packs in many features of a traditional pack, while still keeping total pack weight under 2 …

Recipe: Backcountry Spaghetti

hikinghammonds March 3, 2019

I do not have a dehydrator, and we mostly resupply on-trail, so I’m not a treasure trove of backcountry recipes like some hikers are. However, we do usually send ourselves some resupply boxes and in our boxes we always try …

My CDT Mail Drop Recommendations

hikinghammonds February 26, 2019

Contrary to what you may have heard, resupply on the CDT isn’t that different to or much more difficult than the PCT.  Many of the alternates (and virtually all of New Mexico) even allow for on-trail resupply.

Gear Review: Enlightened Equipment Accomplice 2-Person Quilt

hikinghammonds October 24, 2018

After trying one on the PCT last year, Paul and I determined we really enjoyed our 2 person quilt.  We knew we would use another quilt for the CDT, but we wanted one that was warmer and more packable than …

Long Term Gear Review: Cascade Mountain Tech Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles (Costco Poles)

hikinghammonds October 3, 2018

Trekking poles can be pretty expensive, especially if they are made from carbon fiber. After hiking the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails, Paul and I were both in need of new trekking poles for the Continental Divide Trail, and neither …

Gear Review – A Tale of Two Stoves: MSR Pocket Rocket 2 vs. Snow Peak LiteMax Titanium Stove

hikinghammonds September 26, 2018

When it comes to backpacking stoves, there are a ridiculous amount of options out there, from super light to super heavy.

Gear Review: My Trail Company Storm UL Rain Jacket

hikinghammonds September 21, 2018

The right rain gear for a thru-hike is important, but it can be difficult to strike the right balance between weight, function, and cost.

CDT Bird List

hikinghammonds September 20, 2018

One of my favorite pieces of gear is my monocular.  Not only does it allow me to identify a lot more birds than I otherwise would, it is also great for looking at all variety of wildlife.  On the CDT …

CDT Day 125: Canada!

hikinghammonds September 5, 2018

Day 125: 19 Miles Last days on trail are always a little bit weird, but I think Piñata would agree with me that this was the best one of all. We started the morning messing with him a little bit, …

CDT Days 122-124: Glacier National Park

hikinghammonds September 4, 2018

Day 122: 16 Miles Today was great. Piñata and Yoda got up early and went down to the ranger office to be there when they opened. They returned with our permits and itinerary for the final section of trail. It …
