This bot was created by devious 1087 , feedback always welcome . <| sep |> Leave the slang in the donald , we ' re trying to keep things at least somewhat mature here . <| sep |> take it for what it is but here is some advice and things I learned . Spend 85 % of your energy and time getting in shape and figuring out your shoesfeet . If you ' re researching gear all day and night you ' re doing it wrong . Buy cheap and smalllight gear . Pack , sleeping bag and shoes not boots matter everything else isn ' t worth the money . Try to plan your meals cold and leave the stove and fuel behind . Don ' t eat pure salt type meals . This only increases your water needs and waterweight . Dry out baby whipes on the dash of your car . You can rehydrate them on the trail and cat bath with them . If you plan on going no tent then prepare to be first at the shelter and at least carry a bivvy sack incase people from the day before are staying over in the shelter . Edit Say hello to Pirate for me .
