Yeah sure Bill S is a great guy for a real curmudgeon. He's the guy who got me to go to an orienteering meet and told me not to bother with spiked shoes - well I slipped and shattered my leg. but besides that he shows great judgement - like only eating at Burger King.

Anyway Bill does show a lot of common sense. He has picked up on some of the gear I showed him - Like he got a Bibler Eldorado and seam sealed it after examining mine on a winter camping trip. He had to get a Kelty spectra pack and titanium gear after checking out mine.

But do not get into a technical arguement with Bill S unless you are really prepared with in depth research.
