If it died of avian flu,both birds would be dead.Highly contagious,and not survivable.
I have a piece that is two foot square. Just a dry spot to set things while cooking,and I leave it outside the tent door so mud doesn't get in. Also nice to have a dry spot to sit when everything is...
My kid always gets me a gift card from REI or Cabella's. And I always find a way to use it...

I can say that I felt huge gratitude to whoever left some water at the bottom of the mountain outside of Palmerton. We were out of water,it was 101 degrees in the limited shade,there was a cooler...
Best weight loss plan I ever had was a long walk. when my son and I did our first section from Springer to Harper's Ferry,I lost 42 pounds. Turns out there are no soda machines in the forest....
