so going on the mountian house meals idea, while i was homeless for a little over a year one thing i was taught by an old head was to buy one of those and transplant it into three smaller ziplocks, supplement with seasonings and maybe so sliced pieces of summer sausage and you have three meals worth off one purchase
Thank you for the tips. Be very careful using the fuel transfer device. At room temperature, canisters should be filled no more than about 80% full of liquid with 20% volume of gas at the top to allow for expansion. If a canister is filled with liquid with no "headspace," then an increase in temperature results in a large increase in pressure and can cause the canister to burst. If the released gas ignites, it's the bomb!
Not %100 but I'm sure that fuel transfer in a pressurized can doesn't work that way. Unless you have a pump, the two cans will just equal out. You need a pump system to force the total fuel from one can to another, otherwise the can with more pressure will empty in to the lesser can until the pressure equals out. So that device may just be a scam.
Hey Greg! Enjoyed your thru hike videos! I'm hoping to thru hike the AT in 2024. I was wondering if you could purchase a Melly for me since you live in Colorado. Just need one hoodie the V2 in a XL, color: Terrapin. If it's not too much trouble. Thanks!

Good video. I’ll never be a “thru hiker” but really enjoy your content. And look forward to a gear review, if you have that in mind.

Dehydrate your own meals. Cheap. A pain, but worth it. I save about 50% weight.
Yep, saves weight and $.
Wow, the gadget for transferring fuel from one container to another at hiker boxes was new to me! Thank you! I'm a bit of a noob, I need the help! :D
I've used it for a couple of years and it's saved some money at home.
congrats on completing the trail... great advice, keep the vids coming

@raymondbond1468 I've used it about 50 times and it works perfectly. Highly recommend picking one up.
whats the name of that fuel canisters 's thing ?you never told us the name of that tool!
The gas transfer tool Amazon link is in the video description
Awesome video! Great info! Can’t wait for the next videos.
Much appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks Greg! Just order the Fuel Canister Adapter. 👍🏻👏🏻
Cool. I think you'll be happy with it.
I concur with packing out an orange. Thanks for sharing one with me on trail. BTW this is Phoenix.
Hi there! It's better to share the orange with someone.
Just catching up and wow! Great video!! Fantastic tips!!
Thank you!
Great video as always. Congrats on 2K
Thank you
PCT...PCT....PCT....
