@cpd,
@Nick is currently out on the trail, but here is what I can tell you about the meat we have used. It is grass-fed beef and we have always used a tomato based sauce with it prior to dehydrating. I am not sure which is more important but I would guess the acidic nature of the sauce...
Brian ,
When it comes to apprehension I'm your girl! I am Nick's wife and I do not like exposure.
Truth, there is exposure on the descent. However I found it manageable even with my pack on (there have been instances in the past where I drop my pack and demand that Nick shuttle it because I am...

JeffG there is some exposure in the descent, I would say it would be a matter of how comfortable you are with the abilities of your kids to follow directions. There is nothing technical about the decent, but you are on a sandstone dome side with a narrow path. I am sure some people with children...
Update: Lucky has been adopted by one of her rescuers. The rescue team made an appearance on the Ellen show on Monday. http://www.ellentv.com/2012/09/17/a-heroic-animal-rescue/
gnwatts that is an amazing story, it is truly too bad the paper got it wrong. You did the right thing, both in getting your children to safety but also you did want any proper dog owner (furry child parent) does. You told everyone you came across to look for him, you secured your children and...
Nurrgle, nick is on the trail at the moment; but I can tell you that we have found that our pups prefer having a pad. Whatever keeps them happy keeps us happy in the end. Lessens the dog laying on top of you effect. Our dogs all pack some of their gear or food in, but the pad Nikita is on in...

HAhaha. Patina doesn't have the loyal portion of the dog gene. If she is tired she just lays down! That is why she wasn't my running partner for long. Then again, I have given up running too. Smart Dog!
For all you wonderful people concerned about Teak. You will be happy to know that she is feeling much better. She probably won't be back on the trail for a few more weeks; but she is back to her normal, bouncing, obnoxious, demanding-breakfast self. :thumbsup:
Wanted to throw up a couple of links about the eclipse and eye protection. In case you didn't see on Facebook Nick and I have purchased 10 sets of eclipse glasses for the backcountrypost group doing the Subway on May 20th. In my search I also located very reasonably priced welding glass on...
