My Locale Sierras About Me After having worked for four years at UC Davis Outdoor Adventures (as an assistant manager and guide) and two years at Shasta Mountain Guides (as a guide), my wife and I have decided it's time for a change. We got rid of everything we owned and are now in the midst of a multi-year world travel. We are mostly interested in healthy food and backpacking in all of the great mountain ranges. When we had a "home" we enjoyed cycling, backcountry skiing, running, and gardening. State California Country USA My Website URL http://trektogether.blogspot.com

	DR Liner - Useful? Hi John, We did not find the Double Rainbow liner useful enough. I did not notice any difference in condensation level or warmth.

	Other Questions Daryl - Thanks for the words of encouragement. There are a few books and people that have inspired me along the way too.

	The Unisex Sarong Bigfoot - Kristin tried to protect my image, but I did use the sarong on several different occasion.

	Thanks for the Support Thank you all for the support and kind words. Initially, Kristin and I were a bit nervous in submitting this article.
