A belated congrats! Curious, what is your strategy between the LS socks and the compression toe socks? Are you wearing the LS socks during the day and the compression socks at night?

While I may not make the SHR this season, I am nonetheless inspired by your writings and strategies to pare down my pack weight and go faster. Thanks for the wonderful blog! Cheers!

Staff members became individuals, instead of interchangeable; but there was still a degree of fuzziness about
my perceptions of people and things at that time.

Moreover, they make essentially the most special items easily obtainable
in marketplace. The backpacks are fun for
the little while, but ultimately of hardly any use and definately will likely
find their way in to a bank slot, except when someone wants for taking them out for fun.

I have broken the Ultra Distance poles off-trail and all it takes is a little torque (i.e. stuck between two rocks). I’m pretty rough with the poles and on the SHR I didn’t want to have to think about being gentle. They were in my hands most of the way so the extra weight was not a factor and I didn’t have to worry about the repercussions of repeatedly whacking the poles on rocks! That said, I have a pair of the Ultra Distance and use them regularly, especially on outings where the poles spend a greater % of time attached to the pack and I’m doing more running on trails.

Thanks! I brought aquatabs and used a few over the course of the route, but mostly I filled up from the streams since I could determine that the upstream has little to no human or stock activity.

One question: Did you bring anything to purify water? Was it a concern? Did you mostly fill up from streams?
