  • a small bottle of beach will work the same as the pills, but what will the weight difference be?

  • @actonbath

    Real men know not to freeze their balls off.. Bowie knife and polartech !

  • Real men go out with loin cloth and bowie knife only. We never use this sissy stuff.

  • Look into disposable Tyvek lab clothing (Sizes to 5XL)

    Prices are by EA=each and CS=case. Very affordable $10 ea.

    You can buy two coveralls and then cut and modify to suit your needs.

    Tyvek tape is found in construction supply stores.

    LAB-SAFETY-SUPPLY-Tyvek-Deluxe­-Disposable-Coveralls-with-Hoo­d-and-Elastic-Wrist, can be used to make chaps, gators, windbreaker, pants.

  • @EQUIPnTRIP , you can bring all you want, but you must carry all you bring.

  • i don't need to prove anything to you, just take me at my word and thats all you need and you're gonna respect me anyway, young,

  • Make a backpacking vid if you are so strong, show what you carry then I will respect you.

  • That would be great but then you have to cut a lot of things that I would not feel safe doing, like knives.

  • Crackhead, if you're thirsty i'm not gonna wait 20 minutes to drink the water, Special Ed. Have you ever heard of the word stop if you're tired, where are you going in such a hurry while hiking, if your pack is heavy then STOP, stupid. You need to listen to nutnfancy's videos, and listen good. Special Ed Riff Raff.

  • Richard, I support your views entirely.

    You are saying that you can cut weight by using particular equipment. This is quite logical.

    I didn't hear you say not to use other equipment that may be a little heavier. Ultimately, it is for each of us to choose what works best for us.

    If there was only one right way of doing it then we would all have exaclty the same gear.

    If you have heavier equipment then you are rightly saying that we have the choice of using it or buying the lighter gear.
