Glad you liked it! Have fun on the BMT. It’s a great trail. I need to update the BMT info a little bit.

Simply, thanks. I’m 52, getting back into backpacking after many years. Back in the day, I was primarily a hitch-hiker with a heavy pack and modest back-country experience. Recently, I started cracking into the Web to supplement my own dusty know-how. My learning curve has been so steep it’s gone oblique. I’m starting over with gear. I love the minimalist approach and look forward to building stoves, etc. Very, very curious about tarping. Love the idea. Ready to spend money but don’t want to be hasty and gullible about it. Don’t want to kill myself out there with the wrong sort of stuff either. I’m in this for the long haul and am happy to do my homework. Just a thanks for what you’ve posted. Got your link from Mark Verber’s page. Spent some time with Sgt. Rock’s site, too. You guys are the bomb. Thanks!
