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.

Re: Storm flap for Golite Hex 3?
Only if the wind is blowing very hard will you need such an addition(very rare conditions in my experiance). And in such conditions, all you do is stake the windward side to the ground. The g...

Re: Foot odor -- just deal with it?
Two pairs of socks--one to wear, the other drying out on your pack. Wash your feet and socks at a convenient stream.

GoLite Ether Wind Shirt (Wisp HP)
