My Locale Above the Divided Line
About Me I backpack as the Studliest Studly Studmuffin of Studly Studliness who ever Studlied himself out of Studlyville.

I cut a large path while leaving no trace and carring less than three pounds in my pack.

If you want knowledge of some real scientific prinicples, talk to me and I will guide you to the sun.

See you on the other side.

And remember to keep to the mean.

Pads
Insulation is created by creating dead air space, so we could take the pads and take out 3/8" holes out of each pad, which would reduce the weight of each by at least half an ounce. The holes shou...
