    In 2000, I met Tuba Man in Glen Cliff, NH. Talk about a large, cumbersome, heavy item to carry on a thru-hike. I guess he thought it was necessary, and he played it very well.

    A set of “town clothes”, a Spanish phrase book (I thought I’d teach myself another language while on the trail), two bars of Ivory soap and dried fish (I’m lucky the bears didn’t get me within a week) – man I was pretty clueless; but it’s funny to look back.

    PS - I forgot I was carrying an extra 32 ounce fuel bottle - duhhhh.

    Yea, I agree. I had an ex-girl friend that thought I should carry her too. That is why she is my ex.

    Yeah. Along that vein I was thinking of "emotional baggage". Easy to pack - takes up no room - but it'll definitely weight ya down.

    The good thing is that crappy attitudes, grudges, and emotional baggage don't have to be packed back out with you. There are some things it's good to throw away in the woods. I always found a nice walk along a stream and a good fire helps to dispose of them.

    Guilt is another. Debt also, financial or otherwise.
