If you could only bring one thing besides the necessities (food, tent, sleeping bad, etc) what would you take backpacking?

I take my crazy creek chair. I know it weighs a ton, but I *heart* it!

A book.

My wife.

I take my ultra light weight hammock, it weighs 9 oz. and I can use it as a lounge chair, its awesome. I don't have to be all picky about getting the hang just right because I won't be sleeping in it, just using it as a chair.

A book, definetely

My wife.

Can't take my wife, she's to used to the comforts of a civilized life. She likes wilderness during the day, but when its time to sleep she needs to be in a bed inside a house. Instead my hiking buddy is my dog. Doesn't complain, is happy all the time, and enjoys hiking as much as I do.:banana

Paperback book.

My wife.

hopefully you don't have to carry her...:cool:

Coffee perculator......and my Spiderman de-coder ring.:cool:

Bible. Not so much for the religious content, but it has so much. Poetry, history, philosophy, war stories, love stories, more. So it has something for every mood, and compact.

Trumped

Just spent a week in Shenandoah Park, and I thought I had everything I needed.

The one thing missing that would have been great to have around?

Probably my good friend Jester, who's out on the PCT somewhere.

Great company isn't always easy to find.

my pocketknife

and oh yeah my boombox. Gotta have that for breakdancing around the fire.:banana:banana:banana

A camera, or a book.

Or one of these... these are always super-useful...

i have been trying for 3 weeks to get my pictures not to show up as thumbnails and now i get this big sucker! whatever!

My ThermaRest Chair . . . weighs 4 oz. and when I put my Big Agnes Dual Core Mattress in it and sit down after a long day o' hikin' the therapeutic feeling to my lower back is absolutely heaven! :) Actually if I had to leave some of those basic essentials home in order to take this piece of gear, I would do it! ;)

Camera. I love photography.

ditto on the camera, my SLR Cannon EOS IIE, wide angle lens and my 100-300mm lens.:D

I would bring a camera if that were the only "extra" I could bring.

My buck knife, 8 inch 3 sided blade, machete like but shorter, heavy duty only 13 oz w/ nylon sheath handle is wrapped in green nylon rope ( who doesn't need that) and it cuts block cheese like a dream. ( not insecure enough to need fire arms)

Red Bull is made from Chuck Norris Pee did you know that?

That's a really big gun.

Ruger .380 LCP.

My Bible.

Happy Trails!

after food, tarp/hammock, and sleeping bag?

a knife.

of course my knife.(try cutting something whit a bullet:rolleyes: )

Now that's funny. :D

La Biblia

My journal. I love to write at the end of the day. It's a great way to capture my thoughts and experiences.

....oh great...lets put some leggings on the dogs to protect them for the snakes, along with the packs they are forced to wear, sounds like total nonsense....but then again I meet this sort of idiocy every day.

****...wrong thread...I'm the idiot
