Update?? on 03/15/2012 16:06:43 MDT Print View

Is anyone else wondering when this will be updated?

In the past it was 2x a week. It has been on the same set of tips for almost a month now.

update on these TIPS on 03/15/2012 16:09:36 MDT Print View

We've covered ALL the tips with illustrations. THere are LOTS more tips in the book, but they don't have a cartoon.

So - We can either REPEAT the tips with cartoon, or just post tips without illustrations.

So we've reached backpacking nirvana? No new tips ever. It's all been covered.

Mike,

Loved reading your book and think it is a much better way to intro someone into UL/Lightweight backpacking vs. the older and out of date BPL book.

I would vote for having your Illustrations rotated continuously because there are always going to be people visiting BPL who are new to the whole UL/lightweight thing.

Plus, it has to help with book sales. :)

I wish the tips were in separate threads so they could be followed easier.

+1 the resulting conversations make no sense at times.

Top 3 for me... on 04/17/2013 07:06:51 MDT Print View

Top 3 elements that lead to a successful outing:

1) route planning
2) mental preparation
3) follow through

Distilled into 1 tip: Have a plan.

Is it just me or are posts in random order this morning on BPL? In other words, things aren't sorted by date as I read a thread.

EDIT: Never mind. Seems to be fine now. Dunno what happened.  [shrugs]

Ha, That was me Jim!

I hacked your PC so that all my posts were listed first!

Just kidding of course!
