I won't enter due to the "moderator" status.Hard to top CozinCowtown's tip, but here's mine for the day.
Shockcording will be under less tension and last longer if you fold tent poles from the middle, and work toward the ends.
1) Do not climb the electric fence.
2) Do not pet the porcupines.
3) Do NOT take a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time.
So this is why you quit smoking!You don't have to out run the bear. Just the slowest member of your party. With that in mind choose hiking partners wisely.
Some great tips so far. I cannot see what you all keep coming up with. I may have a book before the end for my kids. Thank you.
