This is why I HATE forums. People come here to ask questions of people who know what they are talking about and they get ridiculed and belittled for not knowing. I don't understand why when someone comes to you for help(not just here but on most forums) some people help but others think it is their job to be jerks and try to make fools out of the people that are there for help. I just don't understand. and as for my statements. I don't know about you but I feel that camping and backpacking are two different thing. And I have camped for over two weeks at a time. I also don't see how following a set of instructions and using a sewing machine has anything with ones ability to backpack.

I am sorry for my rant and thank you to those of you that helped me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
