Re: Center seam on cuben tarp necessary?

Re: packrafting, backpacking, and bacon

Re: Re: Hawk Vittles
Hawk Vittles are my favorite meal so far. They have simple ingredients, good taste, and a high caloric content. Most other meals have pees, onions, and carrots in nearly every single meal which I a...
