Sounds like that should cover me quite well! I always hike solo, so it would just be me pulling from my supply. Solo isn't necessarily by choice, just don't know anybody here that gets it. I don't understand how people fail to see or feel the wonder of getting away from the hustle bustle. Most people I know would rather just go sit on the beach or the couch. If I could find a job that required me to be out in the wilds most of the time, you would have a struggle on your hands finding a happier person on the planet! NO JOKE!! I wish I had seen the light a while back and busted my butt getting a job as a park ranger somewhere. That would fit me to a T. With my business having all but failed due to the economy, who knows. Maybe God will smile on me and well, ...... who knows. Ooops... sorry, got a little off subject. This has narrowed me down to two or maybe three choices and I thank you all for your input.
