LOL @ anti wicking--changes were made.

GSI Dualist was bought for heavy duty cooking (e.g. chili, meat, rice, pasta, etc.). I will only boil water in the Jetboil stove and bring that for solo trips.

For some weird and sick reason i wanna hike w/a backpack that contains +/- 40lbs of gear to the top of Upper Yosemite Falls and get a permit for tenting in that area. I was amazed in how some of the hikers were carrying 50lb external packs up there (Judging by my novice observation).

As for navigation, I have a compass and a Garmin Forerunner 305.

Thanks for the tips i'll keep researching and get my navigation skills down.

Any recommendations for a good value 2person tent that weighs around 3-4lbs?
