    It's nearly impossible to say which is "best" because it depends on the situation.

    Another great trip report, Walter.

    David and I just got back from our 34th year trip. We humped it up Brush Mountain again.

    Pending my move to Tellico in a couple months I expect to run into you a little more often.
    Maybe a LOT more often. :D

    How are those Zamberlan boots holding up?

    I've had mine for about 5 years without problems but I'm curious of your experience because I know you put a lot more miles on them than I do.

    This COULD make sense if they made it easy to buy an extra pair of liners.
    But I don't see that option listed anywhere.

    It may also be possible to put this boot on over a pair of neoprene socks...

    Not endangered except by humans and hogs. Wild boar (non-native) will kill and eat them. Some say that the instinct to rattle a warning is being bred out of the rattlers. Rattling gets them killed.

    I'd imagine the TWRA biologists are involved with counting and raising the critters. My question is why would they release them all in one place rather than scattering them around the whole area?

    The ramen sold in typical American grocery stores is crap!

    But you can get good quality ramen (without MSG!) from Korean/oriental markets. There simply is no comparison.
