do take the TP AND the Kindle. You can't rip pages out of a Kindle

I know, I'm just a rebel.

Also, I would never knowingly destroy a book except in a real emergency. I even have a hard time deleting them from my kindle

Pondering the irony in deleting Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Brave New World, etc., from a kindle.

It is quite a philosophical conundrum isn't it.

I'd go barmy without my Olympus binoculars. 7.6 oz. Waterproof. Nice.

Nice idea about the ashes. I did the same thing with my dad's in the Berkshires in Western Mass. as that is where we spent most of our time together outside of work, hunting. I will be bringing a flask of McCallen scotch and a couple of Cuban cigars

[Prime Time]

Arturo Fuente cigars and 15-yr-old El Dorado rum.

When do you start?

[Meriadoc]

Yes, Super Scott the Tuba Man really did thru-hike with his Tuba. He's also taken it on a 4000 mile cross country bike ride, run the Boston Marathon with it, and probably most other places. http://www.bronxmall.com/norwoodnews...1215page1.html

We had a good time at Joe's in Catawba, one hiker carried a banjo and there was already a guitar at the hostel which another hiker could play well...and I sang...consider yourself blessed that you were not there to hear it.

if somebody wrote a book compiled of interviews of hikers 1 mile before neel gap (or blood mountain) about this kind of stuff i would read it. like what they will send back, what they learned, who gave them bad advice, etc.

Winton Porter the guy who owns Mountain Crossings at Neel's Gap wrote a book about the hikers passing through. Fittingly it's called "Just Passin' Thru". I haven't read it but I hear it's fairly comical.

My kindle and I am hoping to be able to stay awake long enough at the end of a day to do some reading!

We each have our own take on life, but, this is what I want to get away from when I go to the woods.

What luxury item / precious item did you /will you bring with you ?
Did someone really carry a tuba with him?
I'll probably bring a penny whistle and sheet music, the squeeze box is too big and can't get wet.

My french press, 6 oz. There is no better way to make coffee.
