    ** I'm planning my next trip to be spent mostly next to fast moving, cold mountain creeks.

    ** I ordered two Sea To Summit headnets just to keep the gnats away.

    ** I fully expect to get rattlesnake bit and die on the trail.

    Dang you guys. It's so cold here and cloudy and drizzly I feel like I'm going to kill myself if I don't see the sun again. I'm sick of wearing my down jacket every day.

    It was so hot last year that my cell phone melted while hiking for a month. It was brand new and it must have bubbled up from the heat. Verizon techs said they never seen anything like it. They replaced it as a mfg defect.

    Its so hot that I had to rub Neosporin (it was all that I had) on my nuts to stop the chaffing.

    The bad thing is... now I am going thru a tube a day at home.... I'm hooked!

    Sorry, not even close.

    I spent 2.5 years in Panama, courtesy of Uncle Sam, and you folks ain't seen hot. 6 days at 100+ F in triple canopy jungle, at a stretch. Night time lows in the upper 90's F. I came down to the coast after an 11 day FX once: 120F all day for 6 days and it dripped the entire time even tho there hadn't been any direct rainfall in 10 days. Down to a balmy 84F and trade wind breeze. I stayed in my bunk under two summer blankets for 2 days, until the chills stopped. I swear to you here, I will never complain about being cold again. You can always put more clothes on; you can only take off so much, then you're nekkid and sunburnt.

    I HATE summer temperatures, and have the scars to prove it. Don't even own a down bag, but have lots of poncho liners.

    It was so hot this morning that the air coming out of the subway grates felt COOL instead of HOT.

    I heard he went commando........ But he doesn't exsist.
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    I don't mind the heat, it's the humidity up here that I have a hard time with. A couple of days ok, but not all week! I hear Friday is looking up...only 80's..where's my 15 deg. down bag!

    It's so hot I saw two trees fighting over a dog.
    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.
