It will be very hot and humid! Lots of mosquitoes and ticks and chiggers. I highly recommend treating your clothes, especially your socks, with permethrin before you go.

When you shower, turn the water on just long enough to get yourself wet. Then turn it off while you lather up with soap and shampoo. Turn the water back on to rinse yourself off.
A friend of mine...
Ya know, rough weather conditions and being miserable on a trip, although it doesn't always seem like much fun at the time, it usually makes for the best memories and stories afterwards...
Earplugs are great if you are having trouble sleeping at night. They help block out some (but not all) of the noises that might keep you awake or make you apprehensive about sleeping in a tent.

It is not physically possible to hold down a gallon of milk drank at one sitting (or an hour).
It is possible to drink the gallon of milk in an hour, I've seen it done, but you can be sure that...
-15F with a wind chill of -25 to -30 first thing this morning. I think the high is supposed to be 2F.

Never used one, but listen to what I have to say.
Word is that Steripen is working on an LED version, which will mean batteries will last several times longer, and the UV bulb will be far...

Another vote for crocs! I love them for their convenience! Having flat feet, I would not dare hike in them, but they are great to wear around camp and for crossing creeks.
Enjoy your time in the...
Those look like good rules to start with.
May I also suggest the Rules for Expedition Behavior by Howard Tomb. Rather humorous, but very good, easy to read, yet gets the point across.

Wow! I didn't realize that this thread was more than a year old when I posted. OOPS!!:eek:
Best quote of the day!
You could get rid of the the shelters themselves, but turn the area into a smooth, level campsite for people to pitch their tents. Keep the privies, picnick tables, and fire rings.
It would be the...
I take the ostrich approach: I wear earplugs, and if I can't hear it, it doesn't exist! I sleep really well alone in the woods like this.
I want to wait til they come out with UV LED's. Unbreakable, never burn out, and batteries last 5 times as long! (I hope they come out with LED bulbs, maybe this is just wishful thinking on my...
