    Default Ipod Classic on CDT?

    I want to take my Ipod Classic on CDT thru hike. Anyone else? It is heavy though, and I have another MP3 that weighs much less and has 8 Gigs memory. Batteries last 32 hours. I guess I just made my decision. But it is hard to let go of the Ipod. Anyone with ideas or suggestions?

    I love all your condescending posts referencing Americans. Why do you post on here if you think the United States is an "idiocity?" Loving that hate that's coming from Central America.

    While I would not carry an IPOD while hiking...neither would I insult someone for doing so.

    Man needs entertainment.

    I carry an Ipod Classic myself. Can't beat having music and movies when in camp at night. But that's just me.

    I suggest the Kaito 1102 AM-FM-SW radio. Unfortunately now out of stock at J&R and anywhere else it costs $20 more. They do have the lower-level 1101 in stock.

    Yeah. Thanks. By the way, the Mp3 player is not good for 32 hours (Walkman Sony is), but more like 16 hrs. Still good. Love that Ipod Classic though.
    I do not listen to something like this throughout the day of hiking. But sometimes you need a lift and listening for a shor time while you walk can kind of be a "pick-me-up" psychological thing.

    Very good that you don't listen while hiking. On the CDT, at least in New Mexico, I really like having my ears available for snakes. And I sure wouldn't want to miss the cries of the hawks, one of my favorite sounds in the world.

    Some Saturday mornings, though, I'd give almost anything to be able to listen to Cartalk (snort).

    Yeah, that CarTalk is a hoot!
