Don't forget to bring a couple red bricks, they are multi-purpose, and can be used to anchor a guy line if stakes are lost, or throw at a scary newt or bear that didn't bring anything to eat to the campfire song night. Also rocks and bricks may not be available in the area you are hiking, so please bring your own, I hate loaning bricks to ultralighters that refuse to carry there own.I am prepping for a summertime trek and am looking for advise on my equipment choices. I weigh about 150 pounds and am looking to do about 20 to 25 miles per day.

I like beige bricks better. Less chance of them being stolen!Don't forget to bring a couple red bricks, they are multi-purpose, and can be used to anchor a guy line if stakes are lost, or throw at a scary newt or bear that didn't bring anything to eat to the campfire song night.

Are Chicken Ankles really what it's all about?
You guys are nuts! I'll come to the campfire song night............. do you take requests?
I just drive the stake I found in the bottom of the pack that I thought was lost...right thru the middle, cause I got it like that.
ok, but it's a Kumbaya free zone, or we hide black berry pie under your tent, hehe and please no more this land is your land, or migel row your boat a shore...I'm a little burned out on those, and haven't heard them in years...and I'd like to keep it that way.

I prefer to burn the trees down instead of chopping them down. Saves time and effort!
