Featured Question
designated bike lanes in Atlanta?
Does anyone know if there is an easy way to find Atlanta roads with a designated bike lane? I recently bought a bike and am hoping to use it as form of transportation whenever possible, however, Atlanta does not have the greatest roads (or drivers!) to make it an easy and safe ride. It seems like a lot of the more recently paved roads have designated lanes and I was not sure if this was some sort of new policy. It is great to see a lot more roads with these lanes, though there are still many key routes that are not biker-friendly…Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeff

Question: Disposable Camping Supplies
Posted by: Shane Ardell about 1 year ago
So, when you're camping you follow that golden rule: pack it in, pack it out. No one has actually told me what it means, but I assume it means everything you bring into the wilderness you take back out with you, including your trash.
That's pretty straightforward, and trash cans are usually provided for you near the parking area so you can easily discard everything as you're leaving.
But here's my question: You constantly use plastic and paper items and eat individually wrapped foods - like granola bars. Yes, you take your trash out with you, but at home I would normally use real silverware and plates rather than stuff you throw away, and I would buy a full container of cereal and recycle the box rather than buy a box of individually wrapped granola bars.
I guess the question is, is there any way around it?
Answers
You might have good luck with home-made energy bars, that you could put in reusable plastic containers. To keep your energy up, try folding together variations of peanut butter, oatmeal or other cereals, and dried fruits like apples, cranberries, or bananas. Be creative and have fun mixing variations together. I use brown rice syrup as a binder, which is high in sugary carbohydrates, but works because it's extremely sticky. There's no need to even bake them, just keep them airtight & moist. Good luck & happy trails!
