Re: Shopping list
Alright, I'm back. I'll not try to catch up today, my mind is on other things. Tomorrow, though, I'm all yours.
Anyway, I was going to be gone this weekend, hiking and doing trail work on Cold Mountain. Woke up yesterday morning, it was snowing. By midday, a couple inches, and still falling. So, we abandoned the work and left, first chance, fastest route off the mountain. Not only that, but we got to the campsite late the night before, stopping in the gap below rather than continuing up the mountain. As we were only carrying water to hike in, and not enough to cook with, we had planned on filtering more during the last leg. The one we didn't hike. So there we were, out of water(and food, since most of it's dehydrated), with a several mile hike down a snow and mud covered trail ahead of us. Luckily, it was snowing. Had to melt a few potfuls of snow for breakfast. Our Scoutmaster is going to get ahold of some "I survived winter camping" patches for those of us who went.
