Forgot about my trekking poles and spork (

). I have gone back and added them.

Bringing a full on .45? You are being very serious. You might could actually stop a bear with that thing. My 380 would only annoy it and piss it off. I may get me a pillow for the 40 mile trip, as well as some camp shoes/sandals. As tempting as it would be to bring some bourbon, I am going to resist the temptation. But I very much like the way you think. Especially with the Four Roses SB.
