Hey, nice list! I have been thinking that it might be a cool feature to (eventually) have a gear list feature on Outsideways that people can associate with journals. What do you think? Does it have any utility?
On another note... why do you carry both the chopsticks and the spoon?
Hey! Yeah, I was going to mention this to you at some point, but I got distracted. Gear lists would be a nice feature, for sure. As for the eating utensils... why not? ;-) (I prefer the chopsticks for noodle dishes and the spoon for most others)
I met an AT thru-hiker once who exclusively used chopsticks as a mindful eating practice because it slowed her down. I always thought was a pretty cool idea.
@toesalad Hah! This definitely wasn't intended to slow me down. If anything, ramen is much easier to eat quickly with chopsticks than it is to try using a spoon :-)
