My Locale Under a bush in Scotland

Thanks David. I've never handled cuben, so didn't know how slippy it felt. :)

Re : ULers cattying an extra 20-40lbs - why?
Carrying extra weight is a nightmare if you can't burn it off. I've always been active, running, cycling etc, but an injury has forced a long lay off. I've put on about 15 pounds waitin...
