speaking of TP, there are some biodegradable wipes that I have gotten into using lately, they are super handy. I can't remember the brand now, but it is a green and white package, good for everything from washing hands too backup tp.

@lambdog76 Im a fan of the wipes. They even make you walk faster.

@TheDeeSpence Once again, friendly advice, I'm not trying to be a douche.

@TheDeeSpence I think the vacuum sealing will negate the need of a bear bag, so good call there. As for packing heat, it doesn't help when your being dragged out of your tent by your skull at night, guns never replace common sense. As for loadings Buffalo Bore makes ammo specifically designed for the 329, I would check out their "Keith Style" castcores. Sorry if I came off a little brash in my comment, text doesn't distinguish from douchebaggery and concern very well.

@lambdog76 good call!

@Monophony1 most food is vac sealed, so im not too worried about the bears. especially since 'packin' heat. ammo is some winchester, some cci, just a hodge podge of hollowpoints and waddcutters that ive accumulated. as far as the bivvy, ive never used once like that before... i did forget one thing. TP!
