I don't think there's a better time to be out backpacking than during Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. The holidays and all. And the cooler weather. No rattlesnakes. No yellow jackets. I just might be out during Thanksgiving, too!

Yea we looked at the weather and they were calling for rain next weekend. My thought was "Can we get a dang break?" The past FEW trips, we have been getting caught in some vicious weather. I looked when I got home from work and saw that the weather forecast has changed. Sunny all next weekend.
We did Carvers to 19 last year just before Thanksgiving and it was awesome.
Cant wait to try out some new stuff
Well, whats the list, and where did you buy everything?

Having completed a sale , with the money inside the till and a very excited customer next to me (camera sales...) I often commended them NOT to look at cameras or discuss them for a year or two.
So my unsolicited advice is for you to enjoy the moment and stay away from gear shops...and gear nerds (like me)

Cuz I dont really care what everyone else thinks. Im just happy with what I got and what I got coming. I know it is good for me and my wilderness experience. Everyones gear is what makes them happy. Ill post some of my big items, but honestly could care less what everyone else thinks, which is why it is called "I love MY gear"
