Dealing with a common nuisance | Appalachian trail flip-flop 2023

I feel so bad Rooster isn’t comfortable in his clothing. Like hiking isn’t hard enough! Two questions: How long is your mayo keeping (mayo could be the thing that gets me through😋)? How did you learn about or figure out the strategy to stay at the hostels, shuttles and slack packing? We see hostels and shuttles in our guide, but not slack packing. We have not used Far Out much yet. Sure hoping by the time you read this the Presidentials are in your rear view!

Mayo in the pack keeps pretty much always. Hostels are so chaotic you often figure it out upon arrival or call ahead of time. Also depends on how in the bubble you are if you even have to reserve. Slacks we did with hostels but there are shuttle drivers in far out comments that will do slacks I think.

@@thewearywayfinder thanks! In a previous video, you tried vegan mayo in a bottle, which is what I use due to an egg intolerance. How long did that keep for you, if you don’t mind me asking?

@honeybeeme0510 Ah! We used it for about five days but I think it had a few more depending on weather. Between two people if you are generous with portions you probably won't waste much. Ymmv based on temp outside

@@thewearywayfinder this is extremely helpful. I’m so excited because it’s hard to find vegan mayo in packets. You made my day. We pray you are safe since New England seems terrible right now.
