+1 - Remember: DEET over sunscreen, not sunscreen over DEET.

I don't know what animal I would be, but I've always aspired to be as good as my dog thinks I am.

+1 for the Gatewood Cape.

When going down hill your boot will stop and inertia will cause your foot to slide inside and, voila, you get a blister on the tip of your big toe. Lace your boots tighter before a downhill section....

Here, on the left coast, I would think it's a Gopher snake. Where you are, could it be a Bull snake?

I've done pretty much everything I have wanted to do. Unselfishly, I might add. If I haven't done something, i.e. climb Mt. Everest, etc., it's because I haven't wanted to. To quote Ralph Waldo...

Quaker oatmeal to go bar and coffee, then . . . more coffee.

+1 . . . 151 rum. Try a "Fuzzy Leprechuan" ( 1 1/2 oz. 151 Rum and 8 oz. Gatorade). It puts the high in hydrate.

Excellent attempt at something that is truly needed. Thanks.

I should have mentioned the suspected connection of cooking in aluminum pots to Altzheimer's Disease, but I . . .uh . . .forgot.

Dude, you're over thinking this. Yes, your 7 mil. plastic will probably work, but you started this thread with Tyvek. What's your goal; is it to keep your tent floor from being punctured; your...

You can buy kite Tyvek at www.intothewind.com. Kite Tyvek is lighter than house wrap Tyvek, though not as durable.

+1 on Fantastic Foods hummus. At home I split the package into two zip lock bags. On the trail I mix in water and olive oil according to the directions and eat it with Pita bread out of the bag. I...

I have a Petzl Zipka. It has a bright light and is light in weight.

Wow! It sounds like you have a bad case of "burn out" by trying to live "the american dream" as others see it. When I was in High School a teacher once told me two things a person needs in life is...
