[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1114600, member: 39764"] Little funny story about 'perhiperal equipment'... Back when I was an Eagle Scout in the mid 60's, I used to do a lot of backpacking in the eastern United States, back then there wasn't the number of people there are today and backpacking was really reserved for nature prople. I never carried a gun or bow, a hunting knife was the only 'weapon' at my disposal... and my ultra light spin cast outfit, caught some wonderful trout back then.... Anyway, I'm out in the boonies trekking and I had to go really bad and looked in my pack and realized I was out of TP. I was in a pine forest so leaves weren't an option. Improvising, I used my FTL's to wipe with and being frugal, I hung them in a tree about 6 feet off the ground. A couple years later I happent to retrace my route and low and behold, there were FTL's, janging right where I left them, washed and bleached by Mother Nature. I took 'em down and put them in my pack. Still have the backpack btw, A aluminum rigid framed Kelty Expedition pack. Don't have the FTL's anymore. Those ere the days, no cell phones, no water purification stuff, slept in an old Eureka Timberline tent and cooked on a real fire. [/QUOTE]
