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.

Hey, I'm not unresponsible--I am prepared for the conditions. First, the bottle is a full liter capacity. The number you saw was the weight of said bottle. I have changed this to make it m...

GoLite Ether Wind Shirt (Wisp HP)
