Frige, who were you saying needs to go backpacking with you? The boot junkie, the VS model, or me?
My oldest sister liver in Front Royal, Va. and her boyfriend has a place near there. She says that you can see hikers on the AT from his back yard. Well.................

Whats your favorite piece of gear? I guess my leki trekking poles. why? lol, because they make a hardcore trip so much easier.

Whats your favorite piece of clothing? My Arc'Teryx windstopper. why? It'll stop wind, snow, light rain. I love that jacket and never go anywhere without it.


Whats your favorite gadget? no gadget. why? because I buy them, then sell 'em. Never really use 'em.

PS: I don't consider my Swiss Army Mini a gadget. It's a must! ;) or my camera, not a gadget, also a must....and so on...

I guess I have gadgets huh?
