This is my way of giving back to the trail community for the enjoyment it has given me.

Switchback replies: Yes, Rooster Reinhold is famous for his chickens on a lease concept.  Many have praised him for this concept.  You herd your food with you.  I wonder what the veggie crowd thinks of this.  I have met a lot of backpackers who are vegans or veggies.  Overall, I think Rooster's idea of grazing along the trail is best with dehydrated water, of course.

Hi gang, 
There seems to be a lot of anxiety and concern about food and pack weight and how to reduce pack weight. 
As a speed hiker I have been experimenting with a lot of UL concepts in preparation for my past JMT record attempts. 
 
Before I sign off, I would like to share with you my revolutionary UL concept that will absolutely revolutionize UL backpacking as we know it today and which was such a smashing hit at the 2006 KO. 
 
I meant to implement and market that concept but never got around to it and now at age 70 I am getting a little 
to old to embark on such ambitious venture and it would be best to leave it to the younger generation to bring this exciting new concept to fruitation so all backpackers, wherever they may be, can benefit from this new exciting concept. 
 
This is my way of giving back to the trail community for the enjoyment it has given me. 
 
I will not be here to help you implement this new, exciting, revolutionary UL concept but Switchback and Groundpounder know all about it and will be glad to help you implement it or answer any questions you may have, or you can click the link below, to my 2006 post to the list, to read all about it. 
 
Well, got to go now, it's time to get ready to go skiing in the Sierra again. 
 
ADIOS....my friends.....it has been nice knowing all of you......hope to see you all on the trail someday. 
 
JMT Reinhold
