    According to Gambit's research it takes about 6 geese to make a jacket. So one goose ought to make a sleeve, maybe a sleeve and a half. Not a great idea. Oh well.

    Chota would be good for some situations. Advantage with Wiggy's is you don't have to take off your boots/shoes. They go on over everything, and your shoes don't get wet.

    Meant to add, the trails we hiked were built by the CCC. Nice stonework, sitting out there barely touched. I wish the Park would restore some of these trails.

    Where in BSF? "Off the Beaten Path" in your title - were you exploring off-trail?
