I learned a LOT from logic class.

Camping is one of those things were the old fallacies will never die. Like rattlesnake bite kits with razor blades and the need for Bowie knife to protect ya from animals, we all know that OLD CAMPING LORE is stronger in peoples minds than any new fangled gear or concepts.

THIS IS THE REASON I STOPPED WRITING OUTDOOR ADVICE and dropped out of this group years ago, its a waste of breath. Before they went snowmobiling I tried to talk to my roomie and loan him some good gear but he told me his gear was perfectly fine. This morning he said he had been soaked all the way through but that the coat work perfectly. ??? so anyway yeh - people are not logical.
