About Me C.S. Lewis:
Nature never taught me that there exists a God of glory and of infinite majesty. I had to learn that in other ways. But nature gave the word glory a meaning for me. I still do not know where else I could have found one. I do not see how the “fear” of God could have ever meant to me anything but the lowest prudential efforts to be safe, if I had never seen certain ominous ravines and unapproachable crags.

I love my VT hip belt, for all the obvious reasons. Not to mention clipping a camera/snack holster to it for quick-draw. And the first weight I ought to be trimming is the OTHER weight around m...

Vapor Trail belt: weight? go without?
I'm away from access to a decent scale. Does anybody have a weight for a Granite Gear Vapor Trail hip belt, size M? And has anyone used a VT without the hip belt? Work well? not so well?
