Samoset member Registered: 07/04/08 Posts: 429 Loc: Newnan ,GA	i have to agree totally my first big three was a 8x10 utility tarp, a micro-plush blanket and diy pack made from a mesh sack . which was actually about 5lbs lighter than what i carry now. i got some strange looks in the woods but always stayed dry warm and have seen alot of mountain sides with that (recycled "FREE") setup. But now thanks to a self proclaimed gearaholic i nolonger daydream about the gear i need to buy. as much as the places id like to go. Thanks Freind SAMOSET ps. now i just need to get out there _________________________ Some peopole live life day by day. Try step by step.
