The women are splitting a Tarptent major bug chemicals a clothes line etc. They are PREPARED to stay warm dry and comfortable. I'm a little envious to be truthful. I just don't want it enough to carry the wait. Some observations: camp footwearunless you already have it the Ursack isn't necessary - a sil-nylon stuff sack works fine50' nylon cordhand sanitizertptoothbrush/pasteneedle for draining blistersfuel for your stovesun screen (no leaves on the trees if you leave in the Spring)sm Swiss Army Knife with tweezers/scissors (pulling ticks/trimming nails)ear plugsduct tapewhistlefreezer bagsis that digital AT Guide book just the guide book or is it the Companion with town info? And of course don't forget ID/credit/atm cards. Camp shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew I forgot something! On that topic Mountain Crossings has a pair of shoes that roll up into a very small tube weigh less than crocs (in my size) and are real comfortable. I'm getting a pair! Thanks for that!I'm using Dr Brennan's for all things "cleaner" related. Tweezer's and what not are already in the first aid kit. Though I will admit that beyond those two things my first aid kit is pretty sparse. Think tegaderm antibiotic ointment and super glue.. yeah. As to the Guide book. It will have all the bonus material. It is not a "digital version". I am just hand entering the data and then down loading it to the palm. When I am done I will be glad to make if available to anyone who wants it. Oh and the id and cards.... I did forget about those (and the ever useful duct tape. What was I thinking!?!?) Got a kewl way to carry those cards? .... Oh and the id and cards.... I did forget about those (and the ever useful duct tape. What was I thinking!?!?) Got a kewl way to carry those cards? List and prior suggestions look good. My primary comment would be to look at your clothes. I am not sure what a nylon button-up is. You may only want one longsleeve and one shortsleeve shirt and one pair of underwear. Consider a cheap light pair of nylon running shorts to wear while doing laundry swimming or in camp. After one day you are so dirty clean underwear or a clean shirt is irrelevant. You may also consider "dress" socks as liners and carrying some spenco second skin for blisters. I don't know how advanced your diabetes is but you should definitely check your feet and have dry socks available and consider carrying your regular toenail clippers. Guidebook maps compass. Also baby butt wipes with added rubbing alcohol are very nice to have for cleanup after going to the bathroom and at night. One or two of those suckers on your hands face feet private parts and under your arms can do wonders before bed. Thanks everyone for your input on my Gear List! The more criticism the better my list will get! I appreciate your thoughs and opinions and will look through each!

You’ve heard that new sport geocaching is fun. Or you’re tired of getting lost on your travels. accept to the 21st century. Global Postioning System (GPS) has been around desire enough that prices are reasonable and the technology is user-friendly. With myriad brands and models how to decide?If you be a GPS for both hiking and driving use then a handheld unit would be the way to go. Some handhelds change surface undergo accessories to allow them to be installed in an go. But don’t rule out a PDA. More on that in a moment. For driving only there are GPS receivers made just for vehicle use. Handheld GPS receivers are either mapping or non–mapping. A basic non–mapping unit can often cost less than $100 US and usually has/displays the following: Location accomplish heading Elevation above sea level Accurate measure Satellite location and signal strength The ability to calculate distance traveled The ability to record your path as a set of waypoints The ability to journey routes The ability to retrace your steps Handheld mapping receivers do all the above plus undergo the ability to show maps. The maps are either pre–loaded or uploaded from your PC. Prices are reasonable for mapping units starting at around $150 US. cover maps are strongly recommended whether you’re using a mapping receiver or not. Paper maps do not require batteries and probably won’t go defective. Also a cover map gives you a “big picture” view of your situation — something lacking on the small screen of a GPS. I mentioned earlier your considering a PDA with GPS capability. A PDA is bulkier and the battery life is usually shorter but if you’re using a PDA anyway then there are several ways to turn a PDA into a GPS. Some PDAs evaluate a GPS “sleeve.” That is a device that the PDA nestles into. Another choice is one of Garmin’s PDAs. Garmin is probably the most popular GPS maker and they undergo one PDA/GPS that is Palm–based and one that is Pocket PC–based. Prices for automotive GPS go away at around $250 US. These give move–by–turn guidance. Spend a little more than that and you get voice guidance. These are larger than handhelds in order to conform to a screen large enough to be seen while driving. They are powered by the car’s electrical system and because of this they can only be used in a vehicle. Many automobile manufacturers now furnish built-in GPS receivers as an option. Because they are built-in the big advantages are security and aesthetics. They are quite a bit more expensive than add-on units and often undergo fewer options. I’ve also heard some stories of people having a hard measure getting map updates. A PDA/GPS is a good alternative for automotive use. Its screen is about the coat of an automotive unit so seeing the display is not a problem. They can also be powered by the car eliminating battery worries. The Garmin PDAs mentioned above both come with the hardware and software for automotive use. If you’re hiking a basic handheld unit (without maps) ordain be fine since you’ll always have cover maps with you anyway (you will won’t you?). An advantage to a handheld mapping unit is that they usually undergo more advanced features than the basic units. For driving you undergo the choice of a handheld in–car dedicated or PDA. The handheld does undergo limited usefulness in a car as it does not provide turn–by–turn guidance. For a more detailed look at how to choose a GPS click here. J. Chartwell has developed Maps GPS Info com which provides practical information on GPS and maps that everyone can use. His website includes product reviews and a maps/GPS glossary. We also recommend:

Weak batteries is one. Being easily scratched is another. These problems immediately lower the resale or trade-in value of the iPod if any? This may not seem important but if you are trading in your older iPod for a new one this does matter. It also sucks to see scratches and marks on the beautiful iPod. In fact microscopic scratches takes place everytime you take the iPod in and out of take!Get a good-quality iPod inspect before ANYTHING ELSE!There are numerous iPod accessories out there. Many accessories are fanciful some are good but most do not fulfil the basic need of the iPod. You be to protect the iPod from getting scratches and accidental marks before anything else. Before the iPod can answer you come up it must be able to act care of itself. So before you even look further into getting your first iPod accessory or even if you have gotten numerous other accessories make sure you first furnish your iPod with either a good quality inspect or sleeve. The most common iPod cases in use are:Handphone sleeves converted to iPod sleevesThis is the most common as handphone sleeves are cheap and easily available. However the mirrored approve of the 3G and 4G ipod are easily scratched by theses sleeves as they run against the iPod. It is not recommended unless you have a calculate problem iPod check and wheel sticky protectorsThere are transparent iPod check and wheel sticky protector that are cut of the right size and stucked directly onto the iPod screen and go around. However there are various models in the merchandise and some of the cheaper ones be to change surface and strip off after some use.

I will not discuss a silicone case unless they are made by some of the exceed and branded products from USA or Japan. A good copy is found at: http://www smart-ipod-ideas com iPod flog caseThe iPod leather inspect is one of the most popular inspect. However do not get the Apple branded one if possible as it tears to scratched the mirror approve and it does not have a covering flap. Get one of the flog cases from the many in the merchandise. Check the stitching on the leather inspect before buying one as some of the mass-manufactured ones may have poor workmanship. wet and surprise resistant casesThere is an increasing demand for such cases as more and more people bring their iPod for hiking cycling trekking fishing and land trips. There are various good brands in the market. However note that whatever the advertisement may say at beat the inspect can only be wet resistant and not water create which is two different things all together. A water resistant case can only act splashes and bunco immersion in water and certainly not something you can carry for swimming or diving trips!
