    Backpack Survival List

    Hey there. I've put together a little wish list (and a shopping cart). I haven't quite pulled the trigger yet; quite a few of these I've never smoked. That being said, they were all picked carefully. I was hoping those wiser than myself might weigh in and offer their thoughts. I do have one...

    Tobacco for 1 year backpacking trip.

    I suspect a bowl or two a day is probably going to be the average. Some days conaiderably more, some days none. I will also probably share. I was thinking 2 pounds of bulk and then some tins. However, I really have no real metric for how long that amount will last me.

    Tobacco for 1 year backpacking trip.

    Hey there. First, I would like to thank you all for these forums. I started smoking a pipe 6 months ago and the information, discussions, banter, and bullshit in these forums has been invaluable. I am lwaving around the new year to go on a very long backpacking trip. I will primarily be in...
