good to know I can obtain smaller sizes of necessary powders and ointments at the big red bullseye!Originally Posted by Hooch
I went for Monday night. Had things to tend to yesterday and today. I scored the Gold Bond travel size at Target. They're the mecca of all things travel size.

You know what? I was just looking at my pack and it dawned on me that it doesn't have a single zipper. Not one. Cool.

Question... How well does that GoldBond powder work out for you'all??? I've just never carried powder and wondered if it worked??
How many days will you be hiking?

I have a group of 8 doing a section hike with hammocks next weekend, good timing guys
we started in maryland heading south this year now starting at front royal heading into shenandoah, they complained a lot when I had them do a 21 mile day last time so I'm maxing it out at 13 per day this time or I might be found trailside by another hiker
oooooh, pretty!

This is new to my list. I've lost 10 lbs this month (yay!) and I'm not sure how my hiking clothes are going to react. I'm taking it in case I get uncomfortable rubbing going on.
