CamperMom member Registered: 01/04/02 Posts: 1228 Loc: Eastern MA, USA	I'd give the same advice about backpacking as I give to new mothers (when asked): Find what works for YOU and do it. Anything can work for someone some of the time, but nothing works for everyone ALL of the time. Advice is often free, plentiful, and worth what is paid for it. CM
